How to find ARC Probes and ARC Couriers in ARC Raiders

ARC is doing something on the surface, constantly sending Probes and Couriers across the Rust Belt. We may not know exactly what they’re doing, but we know that both Probes and Couriers are a source of nice loot in ARC Raiders.

Here’s how to find ARC Probes and ARC Couriers in ARC Raiders, and what you can get from them.

How to find ARC Probes in ARC Raiders

ARC Probes are white pillars (around 2-3m tall) with a purple light at the top. Regular ARC Probes stand on the ground, and more will land from the sky throughout the match. There are also crashed ARC Probes. These are easily found by tracking down a pillar of black smoke. Either ARC Probe emits a static beep every five seconds or so, making them easy to find.

You can approach and breach the ARC Probe to get loot. However, as soon as you start breaching, the static noise will increase, alerting nearby Raiders, and most importantly, ARC machines. If it landed in a hot area, leaving the ARC Probe be might be best.

Every intact Probe has multiple loot compartments, while the crashed one only has one. The loot primarily consists of ARC-related materials, including ARC Circuitry, ARC Motion Cores, and ARC Powercells, alongside basic resources like Metal Parts.

How to find ARC Couriers in ARC Raiders

ARC Couriers are less conspicuous, and the main way to find them is by looking for black smoke. Most of the time, it tracks to a crashed ARC Courier, which looks like a UFO. You can breach and loot it, just like the ARC Probe.

Unlike the ARC Probe, the Courier doesn’t make any additional sounds when breaching it. You still make noise that may attract visitors, but it’s not as distinguishable as the Probe. While easier to loot, ARC Couriers also offer less loot.
