Find the Train Model and Colorful Shoes in Arc Raiders by looting furnished residential interiors like Ruby Residence, where these small pickups can appear across common, rare, and epic tiers.
Both the Common Train Model and the Colorful Shoes — which turn up in common, rare and epic flavors — are interior loot you pick up while sweeping furnished residential buildings, with the only on-screen sighting so far inside Ruby Residence.
These are small, set-dressing-style pickups rather than world objects you interact with, so you find them the same way you find any other loot in Arc Raiders: by looting the rooms of furnished buildings on a raid. The Train Model is a single item; the Colorful Shoes show up across rarity tiers, so the “rare” and “epic” versions are the same item rolling a better loot tier rather than separate pieces of gear. Right now the confirmed evidence is thin — one clear sighting and a handful of named-but-unconfirmed buildings — so it’s worth knowing what’s solid and what’s still a lead before you go hunting.
Where the Train Model and Colorful Shoes spawn
| Item | Rarity | Where it spawns | Confirmed or lead |
|---|---|---|---|
| Train Model | Common | Residential or commercial interiors | Spawn type reported; pulled on screen in Ruby Residence |
| Colorful Shoes | Common | Residential interiors | Found in Ruby Residence |
| Colorful Shoes | Rare | Residential interiors | Found in Ruby Residence |
| Colorful Shoes | Epic | Residential interiors | Found in Ruby Residence |
The most reliable line on the Train Model is that it spawns in residential or commercial interiors — the furnished, lootable building types rather than open exterior areas. The Colorful Shoes follow the same pattern: they’re indoor loot, sitting on shelves, in cabinets and in the general clutter you’d rummage through inside a house. All three shoe rarities appear to come from the same residential pool, so a single furnished building can in theory hand you the common, rare or epic roll on any given raid.
For an actual address, only Ruby Residence is confirmed — that’s where all three Colorful Shoes rarities and the common Train Model have been seen pulled in one stash. Beyond that, the Pale Apartments, Ruby and the Pattern House have been floated as likely spots, but those are guesses flagged with “probably” rather than verified sightings, and there’s an open suggestion that the items may simply turn up across residential POIs generally. Treat that as a starting list of places to check, not a guaranteed loot table — sweep any furnished residential interior and you’re in the right kind of building.
Loot every furnished room in a residential building before you extract — these items sit in ordinary house clutter, so the cabinets and shelves you’d skip are exactly where they roll.
Which project these items feed into
These aren’t gear you equip — they read as project and crafting materials, the kind of miscellaneous items Arc Raiders has you hand in to advance workshop or quest work. The Train Model and the rare Colorful Shoes have both been tied to a build reportedly called Converging Paths, with the shoes attached to a “Cabinet of Curiosities” step within it.
That naming comes from a single thin source, so hold it loosely — the project title, the step name and any required quantities aren’t confirmed. You’ll sometimes see figures like a few Train Models and several rare Colorful Shoes quoted as the cost, but those counts are single-source and unverified, so don’t bank on a specific number until the in-game project screen shows it to you. The practical takeaway is simpler: these are collection-style materials worth banking, not vendor trash to drop.

Farming the residential interiors efficiently
Because Arc Raiders is an extraction game, the inside of a building resets between raids — once you’ve cleared Ruby Residence (or any other residential POI) and extracted, you can drop back in on a fresh run and loot the same rooms again. That makes a building you’ve confirmed drops these items a repeatable farm rather than a one-and-done.
The method is just thorough looting: hit a furnished residential interior, check every room, and open the shelves, cabinets and containers rather than grabbing the obvious floor loot and leaving. There’s no confirmed drop rate or guaranteed spawn here, so expect some runs to come up empty — rerun the building on a new raid, and widen your net to the other residential POIs if one address keeps disappointing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Common Train Model used for in Arc Raiders?
It appears to be a project material rather than usable gear — it’s been linked to a workshop build reportedly called Converging Paths. The exact project name and how many you need aren’t confirmed, so treat it as a collectible worth keeping rather than something to sell off.
What’s the difference between common, rare and epic Colorful Shoes?
They look to be the same item at different loot tiers rather than three separate items. The rarity is the roll the loot gives you on that pickup; the rare version specifically is the one tied to the hand-in step mentioned above, so it’s the tier most worth holding onto.
Are these items guaranteed to spawn, or is it random loot?
They’re random interior loot, not a fixed pickup. There’s no confirmed spawn rate, so a given raid may turn up several or none. Because interiors reset each raid, the reliable approach is to rerun furnished residential buildings until they drop.
Can you find the Train Model and Colorful Shoes outside the residential buildings shown?
Likely, but it isn’t confirmed. The Train Model is reported to spawn in residential or commercial interiors, and there’s a suggestion these items may appear across residential POIs broadly — but only Ruby Residence has actually been seen dropping them, so anywhere else is a lead to test, not a confirmed location.
