Where to find motors in Arc Raiders

By contrast to what many assumed when the game first came out, Arc Raiders has been going strong since it was released. Winning the award for the best multiplayer game of the year at The Game Awards, the game continues to add new content for its large player base.

One major feature of the game is that players must look for certain lootable components, whether for a quest or to get specific items. Motors are on the same boat, since players may find themselves specifically looking for them. Fortunately, there are a handful of reliable places to find these on every map in the game.

Where to find motors in Blue Gate Underground?

If you want to find motors quickly, the Blue Gate map is the ideal place. The center of this map houses a place called the Checkpoint, which leads to an enormous underground area known as the Underpass or the Underground Warehouse Complex. This place is known among raiders because it’s filled with abandoned cars and trucks.

Since motors can be found inside these vehicles, the large number of cars makes it the most likely place to find what you need. However, you might run into elite ARC machines or other players, so be careful.

Where to find motors in Dam Battlegrounds?

The Dam Battlegrounds is a good place to start looking for motors for new players. One of the most reliable spots is the highway located behind the North Complex elevator. You will find two buses that appear there in every match. These buses have engine parts and contain motors along with other mechanical parts.

Other good spots in this area include the Water Treatment Control, the Electrical Sub-station, and the biospheres, where motors can sometimes be found on metal shelves or utility carts.

Where to find motors in Buried City and Spaceport

If you are exploring other maps, look for areas with lots of machines or cars. In the Buried City, the parking garages near the Grandioso Apartments or the Library garages have many car hoods you can check.

On the Spaceport map, you should focus on the mechanical zones and industrial storage areas. Even unusual places, such as the back of large satellite dishes, can sometimes contain motors. Generally, any part of your map marked with a “Mechanical” or “Industrial” symbol could mean a good place to look for motors.

How to loot motors in Arc Raiders

Motors aren’t usually found lying on the ground. Most of the time, they are hidden inside containers that have to be breached. The most common container is a car hood. It’s important to check whether the car you’re planning to loot has a closed hood. If it’s already open, it’s empty. However, if it’s closed, you can interact with it to break it open. Keep in mind that breaching makes a loud noise, which can attract nearby robots, so be cautious. Once the hood is open, you can search the engine for a motor.

Tips to farm motors in Arc Raiders

• Entering a map during a Night Raid event will make your search easier. The game increases the quality of the loot you find, making it easier for rare items like motors to appear.
• You can take advantage of the Cold Snap weather to find hidden high-tier mechanical parts.
• You can also use your scanner to highlight nearby loot containers through the walls. Use it often in packed areas to find any loot you might miss otherwise.
• Don’t just look at ground level. Search on shelves, inside machinery, on top of structures, and in underground corners.
• If you need a lot of motors, replay earlier, easier missions. You can focus on looting instead of fighting difficult enemies.
