Arc Raiders: How to Get More Safe Pockets

Safe Pockets are dedicated slots in your inventory that guarantee chosen items are secured and extracted, even if your character doesn't survive the raid. This feature is especially vital for rare blueprints, epic gear, and high-value items, as protecting these assets minimizes risk and streamlines progression.

How augments change your safe pocket count

Every Raider begins with a single Safe Pocket if they equip any augment besides the Free Loadout Augment.

The number of Safe Pockets depends on the type and rarity of augment used. Basic green augments grant one slot, blue augments (Looting Mk.2) provide two, and purple or epic variants allow for up to three Safe Pockets. This lets players prioritize which loot stays safe and extractable.

How to increase the number of Safe Pockets

Step 1

Equip or craft an augment, avoiding the Free Loadout Augment, to unlock the Safe Pocket feature in your inventory.​​

Step 2

Find or buy the Looting Mk.2 Augment from the Trader Lance at the Clinic or craft it using the required materials. Applying this augment will give you two Safe Pockets, while Epic (purple) augments push this up to three.​

Step 3

During raids, put rare and essential items into Safe Pockets by dragging them into the marked section on PC or selecting "Move to Safe Pocket" on consoles. Each pocket can hold one item, so be selective.​​

Step 4

As you progress, look for higher-tier augments to further expand your Safe Pocket limit.

Guide table: Augments and Safe Pockets

Safe Pockets are most valuable when used for blueprints or rare loot that drive your crafting and progression. Make a habit of swiftly transferring these items to Safe Pockets during each raid session to avoid disappointment from sudden losses. Avoid using your Free Loadout, as it does not provide any Safe Pocket slots.
