ARC Raiders celebrates the winter season with the Cold Snap update, which allows players to participate in the Flickering Flames event and earn various rewards. The project that came with the event requires players to search for various items on Topside, the music albums being one of them. To make your hunt easier, here's a guide to the best places to find music albums ARC Raiders and earn merits.

How To Get Music Albums In ARC Raiders (Best Places)
The Music Album is a blue rarity ornament coin in ARC Raiders that is usually found in areas with exchange classified as condominium or commercial. There are several buildings, plazas, and abandoned houses where you can find the trinkets, but one of the best places to get music albums is the houses near the Abandoned Highway Camp on the Buried City map.
These buildings are well known in the community for housing some of the best loot on the map, but be sure to only go there if there are 29 to 27 left until the raid ends (so it's not already looted). Although this area is also known for PvP, it is recommended that you use the “Don't Shoot” emote before entering to avoid risking a confrontation with an enemy raider.
When you enter the first house next to the Raider Hatch, go to the second floor and jump through the open window to reach the house on the other side. This apartment will have filing cabinets, closets, gun cases, and other lootable sources that you can search for the music album in ARC Raiders.
Once done, exit the way you came and enter the building across from the Raider Hatch. Continue up the stairs and watch out for Fireballs and Pops who may be attracted by your presence.
Directly at the top of the stairs is a locked door that you can break to enter one gold mine for trinkets. Search all the drawers, filing cabinets, suitcases and backpacks in this room that have a high chance of creating a music album ornament.
When you finally have the Music Album Blueprint, use the Raider Hatch to quickly escape back to Speranza (if you brought a Raider Hatch Key with you). When you're back, donate the music album to the Flickering Flames event project to get 1000x merit points in ARC Raiders.
