What to know
- Candle Holder is classified as Uncommon rarity.
- It's found in Residential loot pools/containers (i.e., non-industrial, non-ARC-machine zones).
- Primary use: Recycle for Metal Parts (8× when fully recycled).
- Candle Holder is safe to pick up when you’re clearing residential areas and want to convert loot to usable upgrade materials.
In ARC Raiders, many loot items fall into either high-tier crafting resources or “junk” recyclable items that you pick up to recycle for base materials. The Candle Holder is part of the latter category. It’s found in everyday, residential-type zones and offers a relatively low but reliable return when recycled; making it a good item to pick up when passing through residential or low-threat areas.

Candle Holder locations
Because the Candle Holder comes from residential or “mundane” loot pools, rather than specialized tech or ARC-machine zones, you’ll encounter it in less risky parts of the maps. The four maps you mentioned (Dam Battleground, Blue Gate, Buried City, Spaceport) all have residential or nearby non-industrial zones where such items spawn.
| Map | Primary Zones (for residential loot) | Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Dam Battleground | Nearby housing blocks, service quarters, maintenance staff rooms | Sweep through peripheral residential structures after major objectives. |
| Blue Gate | Facility outskirts, admin quarters, staff living areas | Search house-style containers and crates in support zones. |
| Buried City | Abandoned residential flats, low-threat side areas | Clear lower-level living quarters away from heavy machine activity. |
| Spaceport | Living quarters, staff lounges, cargo-bay adjacent rooms | Look in lounge areas or adjacent residential modules for “household” loot. |
How to use Candle Holder in ARC Raiders
Because the Candle Holder is not directly used in high-tier crafting, its use is simple: recycle it for base materials.
If salvaged, you’ll receive:
- 4x Metal Parts
If recycled, you’ll receive:
- 8× Metal Parts
Tips for faster Candle Holder farming
- While clearing a map run, when you enter residential or low-tech zones, loot all small containers and side-rooms — Candle Holders are more likely there.
- Because it’s low-threat loot, you can pick them up while doing lighter objectives, making them efficient “material farming” items.
- Stack size is 3, so carry space is minimal; pick them when you have free inventory slots.
- If you’re full on higher tier materials or focused on extraction, prioritize recycling these and similar items (see cheat-sheets) to convert them into Metal Parts.
- Even though it’s “cheap” relative to epic items, every Metal Part counts — don’t overlook these mundane finds.
