IN Arc Raidersthere is a lot of random material you will come across during your journey. While most have a purpose right away, some take several months to actually be worth extracting with.
One of these is Rusted Bolts, which is an uncommon material you need if you want to complete the first stage of the Trophy Display. Thankfully, there are a few places you can look to find this item so you can complete this project.
Where to find rusty bolts
Classified as both Industrial and Mechanical, Rusty Bolts have a higher chance to spawn in any location designated with this type of loot. However, there are a few places where I had much more success finding them in my tests, and those are the places I recommend visiting first if you're growing them. The locations are:
- Vehicle maintenance and container storage in the spaceport
- Power Generation Complex in Dam Battlegrounds
- Loading Bay in Stella Montis
Of these places, I've had the most success at Spaceport. Specifically, vehicle maintenance due to the large volume of breakable containers, lockers and small bins in shipping containers, you can loot. Those little trash cans in the shipping containers had the best chance of showing up in my tests, but this point of interest in general is a great first stop if you're looking for Rusted Bolts.
Alternatively Container storage is another good place if the breakable room on the top floor is not hit. That room has lots of trash cans and boxes that you can rummage through to find Rusted Bolts. That being said, this location is a pretty hot spot for PvP if you're not playing solo, so be aware that you may have to struggle if you venture onto Container Storage.
At Dam Battlegrounds, you have a few options, though I like the Power Generation Complex because of both its size and density of lootable metal containers. These often contain rusty bolts, making this northern region the place to look on this map. Refine your search on the underground east side of the Power Generation Complex, as there is a hallway outside the control room with a large group of these metal boxes that you can break.
Water Treatment Control is also a good place to raid, but unless you play right by it, there's a good chance it will get taken over. Also, outside of the western room, there aren't a ton of places you'll actually find Rusted Bolts. As said, if you're spawning far away from the Power Generation Complex, this region is an okay substitution and at least worth checking out before extracting.
Stella Montis is another surprisingly consistent map for finding Rusted Bolts. Largely concentrated in the Loading Bay, there are tons of different shipping containers across the various floors for players to loot. These bins along the side of the open containers have a decent chance of spawning Rusted Bolts, and there are usually about two or three per container.
You'll want to check all the floors, but just keep in mind that Bastion and Shredder are roaming the lowest level! If they aren't destroyed, I suggest you just check the second and third floors of the Loading Bay before moving on.
Unfortunately, there is currently no way in Arc Raiders to craft or directly purchase Rusted Bolts. You will have to find them the old fashioned way. Thankfully, you only need three Rusted Bolts, and you can hand them over to Trophy Display the moment you extract with this material. This ensures that you are not clogging up your valuable storage space while trying to find leftover rusted bolts!
