Where to Find Rusted Bolts in Arc Raiders

Finding Rusted Bolts in Arc Raiders can be a bit of a challenge. You might recall spotting them all over the place when you weren’t actively searching, but as soon as you need them, they seem to vanish. This is a classic Arc Raiders experience—once you start hunting for something, it feels like it disappears entirely.

For the first stage of the Trophy Cabinet project, you’ll need three Rusted Bolts along with some smaller Arc parts for Pops, Ticks, and Surveyors. While you can snag Surveyor Vaults from Arc Couriers, the bolts are likely to be your main hurdle. Here’s where to track down those elusive Rusted Bolts in Arc Raiders.

The game suggests looking for Rusted Bolts in Mechanical and Industrial areas, but your best bet is to focus on locations that feature both tags. The Spaceport is a prime example, with Container Storage and Vehicle Maintenance at its center, plus the Shipping Warehouse to the north. These spots offer plenty of opportunities to find bolts, often lying around on shelves, much like Rusted Tools.

You might also want to check out the Water Treatment Control in the west Dam Battlegrounds or the Primary Facility located under the Control Tower in the center of the map. Personally, I found my bolts at the Scrap Yard in the southern part of Dam Battlegrounds, specifically by breaching the large vehicles scattered around.

Additionally, keep an eye out for containers with torn sides that have small drawers, like those found in the Loading Bay at Stella Montis and various other Industrial areas. These can also yield Rusted Bolts, so stay vigilant!
