Humidifier location in ARC Raiders
Humidifiers appear most often inside residential buildings—places like abandoned homes, small living quarters, prefabs, and multi-story apartment interiors. You’ll usually spot them tucked against walls, near beds, inside bathrooms, or in cluttered corners. If you focus on towns, survivor settlements, and compact housing blocks, you’ll dramatically increase your pickup rate.
How the Humidifier is used in crafting progression
Humidifiers are one of the required materials for upgrading mid-tier crafting stations. If you’re advancing from Framework (3/6) to Outfitting (4/6), you’ll need a sizable number of them.
Project requirement breakdown
| Required Item | Quantity | Used For |
|---|---|---|
| Humidifier | 5 | Framework → Outfitting progression |
| Advanced Electrical Components | 5 | Progression crafting |
| Magnetic Accelerator | 3 | Progression crafting |
| Leaper Pulse Unit | 3 | Progression crafting |
How to recycle and salvage a Humidifier
You can break down the Humidifier in two main ways, depending on what materials you need more.
Recycling output
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| 1× Humidifier | 2× Canister, 2× Wires |
This method is ideal if you need Wires for weapon mods or refining recipes.
Salvaging output
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| 1× Humidifier | 2× Canister |
This is slightly more streamlined and useful if Canisters are your bottleneck.
How to farm Humidifiers efficiently
- Head into any town or settlement with dense clusters of homes—these areas consistently spawn residential-type loot containers.
- Move through each house room-by-room. Bathrooms, small bedrooms, and corner shelves often hide standalone appliance items like the Humidifier.
- Prioritize multi-level buildings. Upper floors commonly contain high-value household spawns.
- Clear adjacent buildings in a loop to reset your scavenging efficiency. Once your route is complete, return after a normal world reset cycle to repeat.
- Recycle excess units at your workshop to stockpile Wires, which are needed in multiple mod recipes and tend to run out quickly.
