Arc Raiders - Magnet: Location & Use Guide

What to know

Spawns primarily in mechanical/electrical/industrial loot containers.
Often found in areas with machines, control panels, and heavy equipment.
Used for crafting and upgrades of weapons/stations in the workshop.
Can be recycled into metal parts (and sometimes copper-wire depending on data).

Magnets are important because they enable you to unlock workshop upgrades and weapon modifications that depend on mechanical/electrical components. Keeping a steady supply helps you avoid bottlenecks in gear progression and ensures you’re ready when higher-tier crafting becomes available.

ARC Raiders: Magnet Location

The Magnet belongs to the mechanical/electrical loot pool. That means you’ll want to search the parts of maps that host heavy machinery, power generation, electrical panels, and industrial zones rather than purely residential or nature-areas.

Map	Specific Area / Region	Key Loot Spot Notes
Dam Battlegrounds	Power Generation Complex / Machinery Depot	Large generators, control rooms and toolboxes — ideal for mechanical component spawns.
Spaceport	Maintenance Bay / Cargo Hangar / Storage Crates	Industrial vehicle-maintenance areas, lockers and mechanical tool cabinets.
Buried City	Service Corridor / Subway Repair Bay / Abandoned Metro Hub	Underground machine rooms and electrical repair zones give good mechanical loot.
Blue Gate	Communication Tower & Industrial Outpost Zones	Though less heavy than others, the zones labelled “mechanical/electrical” still spawn components.
