where to find rusted bolts arc raiders

You can reliably farm Rusted Bolts in Arc Raiders by focusing on Industrial + Mechanical areas, especially places with lots of vehicles, containers, and heavy machinery.

Best Rusted Bolts Locations

  • Spaceport (top pick)
    • Check the central Container Storage and Vehicle Maintenance areas.
* Also sweep the **Shipping Warehouse** to the north; all three spots mix Industrial and Mechanical tags, which boosts your chances.

* Look on shelves and open surfaces the same way you’d look for Rusted Tools.
  • Dam Battlegrounds
    • Scrap Yard (south side of Dam Battlegrounds) : breach the big derelict vehicles here – many players report this as the most consistent farm for Rusted Bolts.
* **Water Treatment Control (west Dam Battlegrounds)** : another solid Industrial/Mechanical cluster with good bolt spawns.
  • Primary Facility (Control Tower area)
    • Head to the Primary Facility under the central Control Tower and loot any mechanical rooms, storage corridors, and machinery clusters.
  • Stella Montis & other Industrial hubs
    • In Stella Montis , hit the Loading Bay and similar industrial zones.
* Look for containers with ripped‑open sides that have little drawers you can pull out; these container-drawer props often hold Rusted Bolts.

How to Spot and Farm Them Efficiently

  • Prioritize dual‑tag POIs
    • The in‑game hint is “Mechanical” and “Industrial,” but guides stress that locations combining both tags (like Spaceport and Dam Battlegrounds’ Scrap Yard) are much more efficient than generic single‑tag spots.
  • What to loot
    • Shelves and open storage in maintenance rooms.
* Breachable vehicles (especially in the Scrap Yard).

* Industrial containers with side openings and pull‑out drawers.
  • Typical use case
    • You’ll first need Rusted Bolts for the opening stage of the Trophy Cabinet project, alongside basic Arc parts from Pops, Ticks, and Surveyors.
* Because those other parts are common, the bolts tend to be the actual bottleneck, so it’s worth doing a few dedicated runs to these specific POIs.

Simple farming route example

  • Start at Dam Battlegrounds.
  • Run through Scrap Yard first, breaching every big vehicle.
  • Swing by Water Treatment Control on the west side and clear shelves, containers, and mechanical rooms.
  • Extract, then alternate this loop with a Spaceport run focused on Container Storage → Vehicle Maintenance → Shipping Warehouse.

If you tell me where you are currently stuck (map or project), I can suggest a tighter 2–3 POI loop you can run repeatedly. Information gathered from public forums or data available on the internet and portrayed here.
