Toaster: Location

Toasters spawn exclusively in residential interiors within specific maps in ARC Raiders. The best locations for finding toasters are:

The Village area in Blue Gate, which is a large commercial and residential zone. This area offers high chances of finding multiple toasters inside houses, kitchens, and cupboards, often allowing players to collect several toasters in one run.

Pale Apartments and Ruby Residence in Dam Battlegrounds, where apartment buildings with multiple kitchens offer a moderate spawn rate with lower raider activity.

Apart from these, toasters can be found in residential zones of other maps as well.

How to use Toaster in ARC Raiders

Toasters in Arc Raiders are key rare recyclable items mainly used for upgrading your Workshop’s Refiner from level 1 to level 2, which is crucial for crafting advanced mechanical and electrical components. Apart from this critical workshop upgrade, toasters can be recycled into crafting materials—specifically 5× Plastic Parts and 3× Wires per toaster—or salvaged for 3× Wires.

Players may also sell toasters for a high coin value (around 1,000 Raider Coins), but it's recommended to reserve at least three toasters to complete the Refiner upgrade before deciding whether to recycle or sell extras. Due to their rarity, farming toasters efficiently by searching residential interiors like kitchens and apartments maximizes your crafting progress and resource efficiency.

Tips for efficient use of Toasters

  • Always reserve exactly 3 toasters for upgrading your Workshop’s Refiner from level 1 to 2, as this is essential for unlocking advanced crafting options.
  • Prioritize looting residential interiors like kitchens and apartments where toasters spawn more frequently to maximize your farming efficiency.
  • After completing the Refiner upgrade, decide whether to recycle extra toasters into useful crafting materials (5 Plastic Parts + 3 Wires) if you’re low on components, or sell them for around 1,000 Raider coins if you need currency.
