Best Forgotten Relics Farming Route in ARC Raiders
The event trinkets spawn in normal loot spots, but not all locations are equal. The best results came from areas with dense drawers, furniture spawns, lockers, and breachable containers.
Best Route Order
| Priority | Location | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Space Travel | Best early trinket density. Drawers, lockers, tables, chairs. |
| 2 | Research Building | Strongest follow-up. Lots of drawer clusters. |
| 3 | Parking Garage | Breachable containers can drop event trinkets. |
| 4 | Library | Good lockers, but often looted early. |
| 5 | Breach Room | Solid backup if main areas are cleared. |
| 6 | Santa Maria / Red Tower / Apartments | Great for loose furniture spawns and cleanup loot. |
Core route:
Space Travel → Research → Parking Garage → Library/Breach Room → Apartments → Extract
If you spawn near Space Travel, go there immediately.
If you spawn near Pharmacy, loot quickly, then rotate. Pharmacy is not the best event farm.
Best Loot Sources for Forgotten Relics Trinkets
The big mistake is only opening containers. Some of the best event items spawn sitting on chairs, tables, shelves, and floors.
Loot Priority Table
| Loot Source | Priority | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Drawers | S | Best source overall. Prioritize in Space Travel and Research. |
| Tables / Chairs / Floor Loot | S | Event trinkets can spawn loose. Always scan rooms. |
| Breachable Containers | A | Confirmed to drop event trinkets. Good in Parking Garage. |
| Lockers | B | Decent, especially in Space Travel and Library. |
| Trash Cans | B | Can drop trinkets. Quick check only. |
| Radar Containers | C | Low value for event farming. Skip unless convenient. |
| Industrial / Medical Containers | C | Usually not worth targeting for event items. |
If you see a weird object on furniture, check it. Colorful Shoes, Train Models, and other event trinkets can sit in plain sight.
Event Trinkets to Prioritize
Inventory space gets tight fast because many event trinkets do not stack. Drop weak loot early. Protect the good stuff.
High-Value Event Items
| Event Trinket | Priority | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Colorful Shoes / Golden Boots | S | High value, strong event progress. |
| Equatorial Sundial | S | One of the best event finds. |
| Elephant Obelisk | S | Rare, high-value target. |
| Vintage Steering Wheel | A | Good event item. Keep it. |
| Train Model | A | Common enough, still worth taking. |
| Sextant | B | Keep unless replacing with better loot. |
What to Safe-Pocket First
| Safe Pocket Priority | Item Type |
|---|---|
| 1 | Rare event trinkets |
| 2 | Blueprints you need |
| 3 | High-value keys/keycards |
| 4 | Compact high-value trinkets |
| 5 | Emergency mobility item |
If you only have two safe pockets, protect event trinkets and blueprints first. A random attachment is not worth losing a rare event item.
What to Drop During a Profitable Run
Do not get sentimental with trash loot. This event rewards ruthless inventory management.
Drop These First
| Drop Item | Why |
|---|---|
| Low-tier attachments | Usually worse than event trinkets. |
| Single grenades | Replaceable. |
| Weak normal trinkets | Event items give coins and progress. |
| Extra ammo near extract | Risky, but valid if you are leaving. |
| Duplicate low-value keys | Keep only what you actually need. |
Keep These
| Keep Item | Why |
|---|---|
| Event trinkets | Coins + merits. |
| Blueprints | Long-term account value. |
| Security Checkpoint Keycard / Cellar Key | Useful and rare enough. |
| High-value normal trinkets | Good filler after event items. |
| Strong weapon drops | Worth extracting if durability is good. |
If your bag is full and you find Colorful Shoes or Equatorial Sundial, drop the weak attachment. No debate.
Tested Run Results
This route is not theory. Two clean Buried City runs produced strong results.
| Run | Main Route | Approx. Value | Notable Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Run 1 | Pharmacy → Breach Room → Space Travel → Research | ~175k coins | Multiple event trinkets found after rotating to Research. |
| Run 2 | Space Travel → Research → Parking Garage → Cleanup | ~182.7k coins | 776 merits, 390 from event items, 44.8k XP. |
The second run proves the point: Space Travel + Research carried most of the value. Parking Garage and cleanup spots added the extra push to break 180k coins.
How to Run the Route Fast
Speed matters. Other players want the same loot.
Step-by-Step Route
1. Spawn check.
If close to Space Travel, rush it.
2. Clear Space Travel.
Hit drawers, lockers, tables, chairs, and loose floor loot.
3. Rotate to Research.
Prioritize drawer clusters and desks.
4. Check Parking Garage.
Open breachable containers if safe.
5. Sweep secondary spots.
Library, Breach Room, Santa Maria, Red Tower, apartments.
6. Extract at 150k+ value.
Do not throw a profitable run for one more drawer.
When to Leave
Extract when one of these happens:
| Condition | Action |
|---|---|
| Bag value hits 150k+ | Start moving to extract. |
| You have rare event trinkets | Stop gambling. Leave. |
| You found a needed blueprint | Protect it. |
| Main route is heavily contested | Rotate or extract. |
| Timer is low | Stop looting. Move. |
Greed kills more raids than bad aim.
Combat Tips for the Forgotten Relics Route
This route is profitable, so expect company. Play fast, listen hard, and avoid dumb fights.
ARC Enemy Rules
| Threat | Best Play |
|---|---|
| Pops / Fireballs | Clear fast before looting. |
| Wasp | Break line of sight or kill quickly. |
| Sentry Turret | Destroy before looting Research rooms. |
| Shredder | Avoid unless forced. |
| Multiple ARC enemies | Rotate indoors. Do not fight in the open. |
Player Rules
- If a room is half-looted, someone may still be nearby.
- If you hear breaching, stop sprinting and listen.
- If you are carrying 150k+, avoid PvP.
- If extraction is called late, approach from cover.
- If you dropped ammo for loot, extract immediately.
A full backpack is not profit until you leave.
Best Loadout for Event Farming
You do not need premium gear. You need enough to move, survive, and leave.
| Slot | Recommended Pick | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon | Reliable mid-tier gun | Clears ARC and scares off light pushers. |
| Mobility | Snap Hook / Zipline tool | Faster rotations and safer escapes. |
| Heals | Bandages + stronger heal | Covers chip damage and bad falls. |
| Utility | Grenade or mine | Useful if chased. |
| Augment | Extra safe pocket if available | Huge value for event items. |
The extra safe pocket is massive in this event. More protected slots means more guaranteed merits and coins.
Common Mistakes That Kill Profit
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Farming Pharmacy first every run | Go Space Travel or Research instead. |
| Ignoring furniture loot | Scan tables, chairs, shelves, and floors. |
| Keeping bad attachments | Drop them for event trinkets. |
| Looting too long after 150k+ | Extract and bank the run. |
| Skipping nearby breachables | Check them if safe. |
| Fighting while stacked | Leave. The loot is the win. |
