Continue ShoppingCoins are one of the core resources in ARC Raiders, enabling upgrades, crafting improvements, and stronger loadouts. If you often feel stuck with weak gear or cannot take risks in raids, optimizing your farming route is key. This guide focuses on simple, repeatable, high-value farming loops that fit all player levels.
| Item Type | Value Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| High-Rarity Trinkets | ★★★★☆ | Best coin-per-slot efficiency |
| Tech Components & Electronics | ★★★☆☆ | Useful for crafting and selling |
| Weapon/Tech Cases | ★★★☆☆ | Open or sell depending on needs |
| Low-Value Junk / Scrap | ★☆☆☆☆ | Avoid — fills backpack too quickly |
Tip: A half-empty backpack of high-value items is worth more than a full backpack of junk.
| Location | Run Duration | Why It's Good | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buried City – Library Route | 4–6 minutes | Many lockers, quick to loot, fast extraction | Low |
| Dam Battlegrounds – Admin Offices | 8–12 minutes | Dense interior loot, manageable combat routes | Low–Medium |
These runs are great when you're building your early coin reserves.
| Location | Run Focus | Notes | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydroponic Dome Complex | Interior loot sweep | High chance of rare crafting items | Medium |
| Blue Gate Village | House/shop looting | Multiple extraction points; good escape safety | Medium |
Ideal when your gear is decent and you want faster growth.
| Location / Event | Reward Potential | Risk Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Battleground | Very High | High | Dense enemy presence; only attempt when geared |
| Event-based Loot Zones | Extremely High | High–Very High | Best coin bursts when modifiers/events are active |
Only run these once you are confident in combat, movement, and extraction.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Choose a target zone before deploying |
| 2 | Set a personal time limit (e.g., extract within 7 minutes) |
| 3 | Loot only high-value items |
| 4 | Stop before over-pushing — do not chase one extra room |
| 5 | Extract cleanly |
| 6 | Sell immediately to convert items into coins |
| 7 | Repeat the same successful loop for steady income |
This approach focuses on ARC Raiders Coins per hour, not one lucky run.
| Situation | Best Practice |
|---|---|
| Carrying rare loot | Put highest value item in Safe Pocket |
| Hearing nearby combat | Avoid unless necessary — survival = profit |
| Playing solo vs squad | Solo = keep all loot / Squad = higher survival |
| Inventory fills too fast | Prioritize small, high-value components |
| Upgrading base | Storage and crafting workbenches pay off over time |
The key to earning coins efficiently is consistency, smart routing, and disciplined extraction. Start with safe farming zones, refine your loot priorities, and gradually move into higher-risk areas when your gear is ready. Once you establish a steady coin income, the game opens up significantly — stronger loadouts, better survivability, and more confident combat engagements.
