Prospecting Probes is a map condition in ARC Raiders where ARC scanning probes deploy across the map, systematically surveying resource deposits. The probes emit visible scanning beams that highlight areas rich in materials. Following the probes leads to concentrated loot zones with higher-than-normal material spawns. However, the probes also attract other Raiders looking for easy farming runs, making these hotspots contested.
Strategy & Tips
Follow the probe scanning paths to find concentrated loot zones. Bring a large backpack or augment with extra safe pockets — you will find more materials than usual. Be cautious around probe hotspots as other Raiders will be farming the same areas. Consider arriving at a probe zone, looting quickly, and extracting before competition arrives. The probes move on a pattern, so learn their routes for efficient runs.
