Best Setup for Legendary Hunting in Arc Raiders

Legendary items are the ultimate prizes in Arc Raiders. Hunting them requires specific preparation, knowledge of drop locations, and the gear to survive the toughest areas where legendaries spawn.

Where Legendaries Drop

Legendary items appear in red zone loot caches, from boss class ARC enemies, and in specific high level quest rewards. Stella Montis peak zones and Spaceport main hangar are known legendary drop locations. These areas are the most dangerous in the game for a reason.

Gear for Legendary Zones

Bring your best gear when hunting legendaries. Epic or legendary weapons like the <a href="/items/tempest">Tempest</a> and <a href="/items/ferro-rifle">Ferro</a>. Epic armor for maximum survivability. Full healing supplies. You need every advantage when fighting through the hardest content to reach legendary loot.

Boss Farming Strategy

Some bosses have specific legendary drops associated with them. Learn which bosses drop what you want and run those encounters repeatedly. Boss respawn timers mean you can farm the same boss multiple times per session if your runs are efficient.

Risk Management

The zones where legendaries drop are also where you are most likely to lose everything. Manage your risk by extracting frequently rather than pushing for one more zone. A legendary in your base storage is worth infinitely more than one you are carrying when you die.

Team Legendary Hunts

Running legendary zones with a team dramatically improves your success rate and efficiency. Teams can clear bosses faster, cover more area, and protect each other during extraction. The legendary drops benefit whoever picks them up, so establish loot rules before the hunt begins.
