where to find expired respirator arc raiders

You’ll find Expired Respirators in medical loot areas , with one standout farm that almost every recent guide agrees on: the Testing Annex in Dam Battlegrounds.

Best spot: Testing Annex (Dam Battlegrounds)

Most players farm Expired Respirators at the Testing Annex , a small medical research building on the Dam Battlegrounds map.

  • Go to Dam Battlegrounds and head to the Testing Annex on the southeast side of the map.
  • Go inside and up to the first floor/upper floor , then move into the science/medical rooms (yellow glass panels, lab desks, medical machines).
  • Search every container : filing cabinets, desks, medicine stands, medical shelves, lockers, and storage racks.
  • Put any Expired Respirator you find immediately into your Safe Pocket so you keep it even if you die.

There is an extraction lift right outside (Red Lake Balcony side), so you can extract as soon as you find one and quickly reset the run; most players finish their three respirators in just a few short runs this way.

Other places they can spawn

If Testing Annex is contested or already looted, Expired Respirators can still appear in other medical zones.

  • Buried City Hospital
    • Huge medical area with lots of cabinets and shelves.
* More dangerous and more contested than Testing Annex, but with high loot density and good when **Night Raid** condition is active for extra drops.
  • Other medical sections
    • Medical areas in buildings like Research & Administration (near locker rooms) can also drop Expired Respirators from their medical loot containers.

Wherever you go, the pattern is the same: prioritize clearly medical interiors and loot every searchable container in those wings.

Quick tips for Trophy Display Project

Expired Respirators are needed for Stage 2: Soaring Menaces of the Trophy Display Project , and you need three of them.

  • Aim for short, focused Testing Annex runs : sprint there, loot medical rooms, Safe Pocket the respirator, extract, repeat.
  • Use Testing Annex as a multipurpose farm : you can also pick up things like Cracked Bioscanners, Rusted Shut Medical Kits, and Antiseptic while hunting respirators.

If you follow that loop on Dam Battlegrounds, you’ll usually clear the “where to find Expired Respirator Arc Raiders” problem in just a handful of runs.
