In Arc Raiders, every raider strives to survive in the surface world, scavenging various materials to strengthen their character and base. These materials not only affect your win rate against ARC enemies, but more importantly, they are essential resources for crafting various weapons and equipment.

Normally, we can obtain various materials by defeating enemies and looting their corpses, but these materials are usually junk, making it difficult to craft high-level weapons. Therefore, if you want to craft some key items, then aiming for those rare materials instead of focusing on clearing out the small monsters on the ground is what you need to do right now.

Among these, Steel Springs, as an essential item for completing Expedition Project in Arc Raiders, and also a necessary material for crafting Torrente I and other weapons and equipment, are rare items that countless players yearn to find.

However, their rarity also means that finding these Steel Springs is difficult. If you don't want to be bogged down in endless exploration and regrets, then you can't miss this guide. We're here to share how to find Steel Spring in the game and help you replenish your supplies!

Steel Spring Locations

Arc Raiders provides several locations where players can find Steel Spring. Due to its properties, Steel Spring is usually found in industrial areas, and while it occasionally drops in other locations, the probability is relatively low. You have a chance to find a large amount of this resource in the following areas:

• Dam Battlegrounds: Power Generation Complex & Water Treatment
• Spaceport: Vehicle Maintenance
• The Blue Gate: Warehouse

Among these locations, Power Generation Complex and Water Treatment provide a stable supply of Steel Spring. However, if you just want to quickly loot resources and make a successful extraction, then we recommend prioritizing Water Treatment, as it's cramped but has a wealth of resources, allowing you to quickly scavenge and leave before the enemy arrives.

In comparison, the basement in Power Generation Complex offers a larger space, hiding not only a large amount of Steel Spring but also a wealth of other materials, making it definitely worth your time to cultivate. However, the hidden PvP and ARC threats here shouldn't be underestimated. If you're confident in your skills, then come and give it a try!

Overall, since Dam Battlegrounds has many industrial buildings, each containing 1-2 Steel Sprin spawns and drops, Dam Battlegrounds is definitely not to be missed if you need to stockpile Steel Sprin.

In addition, if you want to reduce the difficulty of collecting Steel Sprin, Warehouse on The Blue Gate is your best choice. Because industrial materials constantly spawn here, the probability of finding Steel Sprin is quite high.

However, be aware that besides Warehouse, a few small points of interest, and the tunnels, The Blue Gate doesn't have many industrial locations. So if you only want to collect industrial materials, be careful not to go empty-handed to maximize your collection efficiency.

How To Obtain Steel Spring?

Exchange It For Seeds At Celeste

As everyone knows, seeds are a core resource in Arc Raiders, with a wide range of uses, including trading with merchants and crafting items or other upgrades.

Therefore, besides collecting Steel Spring through map exploration and quests, if you don't want to waste time and have sufficient resources, the simplest and most direct way is to directly exchange six seeds at Celeste's shop. However, note that there is a daily limit of ten exchanges!

Disassembling Industrial Items

In Arc Raiders, most of the equipment and supplies players collect are stored in their inventory. However, not all Arc Raiders items are used, inevitably leading to a lot of junk. Therefore, if you have excess industrial items, you can disassemble them into Steel Spring. Examples include:

• Cooling Coil
• Mod Components
• Advanced Mechanical Components
• Rusted Tools
• Spring Cushion
• Ruined Accordion

Note that because of the rarity of Steel Spring, while you can recycle these items outside of raids for disassembly, there's a chance you won't get Steel Spring while recycling them inside the raid. Therefore, to be on the safe side, if you have ample inventory space and no weight concerns, it's recommended to return to Speranza before proceeding.

These are common ways for players to obtain Steel Spring in Arc Raiders. If you have enough time, you can focus on the locations mentioned above where Steel Spring spawns in large quantities and collect this material by exploring the map. Of course, if you're short on time, you can also try obtaining Steel Spring by exchanging it with merchants or by dismantling items. Hope this guide is helpful!
