Buried City is the map we run when we want steady progression, not coin-flip boss loot. It gives a strong mix of blueprints, valuables, attachments, weapons, meds, and crafting materials in one tight route. The key is simple: hit dense loot, skip dead rooms, extract once the bag is worth protecting.

↖ Best Buried City Loot Route in ARC Raiders
This route is built around speed, loot density, and low wasted movement. If one area is already hit, rotate. Do not stare at empty shelves.
| Step | Location / Action | Priority Loot | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rush Pharmacy | Blueprints, meds, attachments | Go first if you spawn close |
| 2 | Check Security Breach | Batteries, rare parts, attachments | Always check if active |
| 3 | Loot drawers / shelves | Blueprints, valuables | Fast clear only |
| 4 | Rotate to Pointy Roof | Weapon cases, loose containers | Skip if looted |
| 5 | Hit street containers | Blueprints, materials | Trash bins are worth tapping |
| 6 | Move through Grandioso / central route | Weapons, valuables, parts | Keep moving |
| 7 | Check Admin / Space Travel areas | Sensors, batteries, tech loot | Good material stop |
| 8 | Extract near Town Hall route | Secure profit | Leave when bag is strong |
Core rule: once you find one blueprint, play cleaner. Once you find two blueprints, stop gambling and extract.
↖ Why Pharmacy Is the Best First Stop
Pharmacy is the strongest early-game target on Buried City because it stacks multiple loot pools in one building.
You can pull:
- Blueprints
- Weapon attachments
- Healing items
- Valuables
- Small weapons
- Crafting materials
- Security Breach loot
That is why it gets contested. Everyone with hours on the map knows Pharmacy pays.
↖ Pharmacy Loot Priority
| Area | Loot to Check | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Back room | Security Breach | Very High |
| Drawers | Blueprints, cash, valuables | Very High |
| Shelves | Meds, attachments | High |
| Side rooms | Weapons, parts | Medium |
| Lower floors | Extra containers | Only if safe |
If you arrive late and every drawer is open, leave. A dead Pharmacy is not worth a fight.
↖ Best Items to Keep on Buried City
Buried City fills your bag fast. Bad looting kills profit. Carry compact value, not bulky junk.
| Tier | Keep First | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| S | Blueprints, legendary items, rare parts | Long-term progression |
| A | Lance Mixtape, Music Box, rare attachments | High value per slot |
| B | Durable Cloth, Batteries, Sensors, Gun Parts | Crafting and upgrades |
| C | Basic weapons, grenades, ammo | Only if space allows |
| D | Low-value non-stacking junk | Drop first |
↖ Fast Inventory Rules
- Drop excess ammo before dropping rare materials.
- Break down broken or low-value guns for Gun Parts.
- Keep one usable backup weapon. Not three.
- Replace bulky junk with compact valuables.
- Do not spend 30 seconds sorting loot in a hot building.
If you are overweight, your raid is already in danger. Fix the bag fast or extract.
↖ Blueprint Farming on Buried City
Buried City is one of the best maps for repeatable blueprint farming because it gives many fast checks per raid.
| Source | Blueprint Chance | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Pharmacy drawers | High | Fast, dense, repeatable |
| Trash containers | Medium | Often ignored by players |
| Suitcases | Medium | Easy route value |
| Security Breach rooms | Medium-High | Strong rare loot pool |
| Half-looted buildings | Medium | Players miss small containers |
Do not only chase perfect rooms. Blueprint farming is about volume. More quality container checks means more chances.
Practical result: a strong Buried City run can easily leave with 1–2 blueprints, attachments, valuables, and enough materials to justify the raid even without PvP.
↖ Kinetic Converter and Anvil Splitter Farming
For Kinetic Converter and Anvil Splitter, Buried City is one of the best maps. Pharmacy buildings are the main target.
| Item | Best Farm Spots | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kinetic Converter | Plaza Rosa Pharmacy, Piazza Arbusto Pharmacy, Launch Towers | Rare direct loot |
| Anvil Splitter | Plaza Rosa Pharmacy, Piazza Arbusto Pharmacy, Launch Towers, Formai Outpost | Strong pharmacy spawn potential |
↖ Best Buried City Locations
| Location | Strength | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Plaza Rosa Pharmacy | Best container density | High |
| Piazza Arbusto Pharmacy | Smaller but efficient | Medium |
| Double Pharmacy route | Huge value if spawn is good | High |
| Night / Hurricane Buried City | Better rare loot pressure | High |
If you spawn close to Plaza Rosa, rush it. If you spawn far, think twice. Late arrivals usually fight over scraps.
↖ Legendary Items and Blueprint Sources
Not every legendary item is crafted. Some must be found, bought, or earned from bosses and events.
| Legendary Item / Blueprint | How to Get It | Best Source |
|---|---|---|
| Kinetic Converter | Found as loot | Buried City pharmacies, Launch Towers |
| Anvil Splitter | Found as loot | Buried City pharmacies, Formai Outpost |
| Legendary Guitar | Purchased | Shani, 70 blue credits, once daily |
| Queen Reactor | Boss drop | Queen raid armor/core |
| Matriarch Reactor | Boss drop | Matriarch raid armor/core |
| Equalizer Blueprint | Event / boss loot | Harvester, Queen/Matriarch core |
| Jupiter Blueprint | Event / boss loot | Harvester, Queen/Matriarch core |
| Aelion | Map-specific loot | Stella Montis, especially Night Raid |
| Dolabra Blueprint | Special loot source | Close Scrutiny, ARC Assessors |
| Snap Hook Blueprint | Electromagnetic raid loot | Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport |
For Queen and Matriarch, breaking armor can drop useful core loot. The main core is better, often holding multiple reactors, but it also paints a target on your back.
↖ Snap Hook Blueprint Farm
The Snap Hook Blueprint is best farmed during Electromagnetic raids. Do not waste normal runs expecting consistent results.
| Map | Best Area | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Dam Battlegrounds | Research and Admin | Electromagnetic raid |
| Spaceport | Departure Building | Electromagnetic raid |
If you only need a regular Snap Hook, check high-tier loot spots like Launch Towers or the same areas used for Kinetic Converter and Anvil Splitter.
Snap Hook is worth farming. Better movement means better routes, faster escapes, and fewer deaths while carrying rare loot.
↖ Scrappy Rare Item Returns
Scrappy can bring back rare items, but the odds are low. Treat him as a bonus, not a farming plan.
| Possible Return | Method | Expectation |
|---|---|---|
| Kinetic Converter | Feed rare fruit options, such as agave-type items | Very rare |
| Anvil Splitter | Rare food pool | Very rare |
| Matriarch Core | Fruit mix-style feeding | Very rare |
| Queen Core | Rare return pool | Very rare |
| Legendary blueprints | Not expected | Do not rely on it |
Use Scrappy daily if you can. Just do not build your progression around him.
↖ Buried City PvP Rules
Buried City PvP is messy because the best loot spots are obvious. Win by choosing fights, not by chasing every sound.
| Situation | Correct Play |
|---|---|
| You have no rare loot | Take smart fights for kits |
| You found a blueprint | Rotate safer |
| You found two blueprints | Extract |
| Pharmacy is contested | Fight only with angle advantage |
| Enemy runs away injured | Do not chase into unknown buildings |
| You are overweight | Avoid fights unless trapped |
The best raid is not the one with the most kills. It is the one where you extract with the loot that moves your account forward.
↖ Common Buried City Mistakes
| Mistake | Why It Fails | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Staying too long in Pharmacy | Players rotate in fast | Loot key containers, leave |
| Ignoring trash bins | They can hold blueprints | Tap quick bins on route |
| Carrying too much ammo | Wastes space | Drop excess early |
| Over-sorting inventory | Gets you killed | Use tier priorities |
| Fighting after rare loot | Turns profit into risk | Extract |
| Chasing every player | Invites third parties | Fight for value only |
Buried City rewards tempo. Move, loot, decide, leave.
↖ FAQ
↖ What is the best loot route on Buried City?
Start at Pharmacy, check the Security Breach, clear drawers and shelves, rotate through Pointy Roof, hit street containers, move toward Grandioso or Admin areas, then extract near Town Hall when the bag is strong.
↖ Is Buried City good for blueprint farming?
Yes. Buried City is one of the best repeatable blueprint maps because Pharmacy drawers, trash bins, suitcases, breach rooms, and half-looted buildings all create many fast blueprint checks.
↖ Where do Kinetic Converter and Anvil Splitter spawn?
The best spots are Plaza Rosa Pharmacy, Piazza Arbusto Pharmacy, and Launch Towers. Anvil Splitter can also appear around Formai Outpost on Dam Battlegrounds.
↖ When should I extract from Buried City?
Extract after finding one high-value blueprint plus good loot, or immediately after finding two blueprints. Also leave if you are overweight, low on meds, or forced into bad rotations.
↖ Where do I farm the Snap Hook Blueprint?
Farm the Snap Hook Blueprint during Electromagnetic raids. Best spots are Research and Admin on Dam Battlegrounds and the Departure Building on Spaceport.
↖ Summary
Buried City is the best ARC Raiders map for consistent account progress. It gives blueprints, valuables, attachments, weapons, meds, and crafting materials without needing a perfect raid.
Run the route fast: Pharmacy → Security Breach → Pointy Roof → street containers → Admin / Space Travel → extract.
Prioritize blueprints, legendary items, rare attachments, compact valuables, and crafting materials. Drop junk early. Break down bad guns. Avoid ego fights once the loot is good.
For legendary farming, use Buried City for Kinetic Converter and Anvil Splitter, then branch into boss raids, Harvester, Stella Montis, Close Scrutiny, and Electromagnetic raids for specific blueprints. This map pays because it is efficient, repeatable, and brutally practical.
