BLACK CRATE

TACTICAL INTELLIGENCE & STRATEGY
The long, black rectangular crate is one of the more intriguing containers you’ll come across in ARC Raiders. Sleek and low-profile, it spawns directly on the ground and is easy to miss if you’re not paying attention. Once opened, its lid sits slightly ajar, a subtle sign that it’s already been looted. While not the most common find, this crate is currently known to appear primarily on Blue Gate and Stella Montis, and and some other locked/keycard areas. What makes this container stand out is its incredibly versatile loot pool. It has the potential to drop a wide range of valuable items, including weapons, attachments, quick-use consumables, and even Blueprints, which can significantly boost your long-term progression. On top of that, it can contain quest- or project-specific items like the Radio Relay and Ruined Handcuffs, making it especially useful if you’re working through objectives. The crate also offers crafting materials spanning the full rarity spectrum—from basic resources like Fabric to high-tier components such as Explosive Compound. All things considered, this container is absolutely worth looting whenever you come across it. It’s quick to open, taking only a few seconds, and its potential payoff — from high-tier gear to rare materials — makes it one of the more rewarding finds on Topside.
