Deep within the Arc Raiders Riven Tides map, specifically around the central area between Hotel Complex and the Harbor, near the Stacking Yard, there exists an unassuming spot that many players frequently overlook. By navigating to this area and identifying the ladder structure, you can ascend to a platform that houses several valuable items.
How to reach the loot platform
Step 1
Make your way toward the center of the Riven Tides map, to the southwest of the Harbor and Stacking Yard (as shown in the map above and below), ensuring you remain vigilant for both hostile machines and other survivors in the vicinity.
Step 2
Locate the specific structure featuring a vertical ladder, which serves as the primary access point to the elevated platform.
Step 3
Climb the ladder. Keep your eye on the back. There will be a half landing where you can get off.
You’ll find the primary loot containers are situated here.
Step 4
Carefully inspect the area for spawning items such as grenade tubes and Crash Mats, as these can appear depending on the current raid conditions.
Step 5
Continue climbing upward.
You’ll find additional ammunition spawns at the top.
Maximize your raid loot
The items found in this location provide a solid foundation for your inventory. While grenade tubes offer tactical advantages against mechanized threats, utility items like Crash Mats are essential for traversal and survival. Keep in mind that exploring this spot during both day and night raids may yield different results, such as the potential discovery of hatch keys during daylight hours, making this a highly versatile stop for any scavengers roaming the Riven Tides.
