ARC Raiders Dog Collar location

ARC Raiders‘ introduction of Scrappy will certainly help players find scrap and items at all times, and getting the Dog Collar will be essential to upgrade and train your companion.

I am unsure why Embark chose to name the item “Dog Collar”, but it is what it is. You’ll have to clear a bit of the early game content to get your hands on the item, and this guide will help you find it in the first place.

How to find the Dog Collar in ARC Raiders

The Dog Collar appears to be best found in residential areas. Keep completing the main questline until you gain access to the Buried City map in ARC Raiders. You can also find a Dog Collar on the Spaceport map.

I have marked the locations on the screenshot above to make it convenient for you to find the Dog Collar. Once you’re at the marked locations, look on top of places like furniture, as you can find the item at random. I, incidentally, found one inside a bin, so that’s another place to look at. Here are the locations to specifically look for in Buried City.

• Santa Maria Houses
• Red Tower
• Grandioso Apartments

How to use the Dog Collar in ARC Raiders

The Dog Collar is required for obtaining your first Scrappy upgrade, and using it is pretty simple. You’ll first need to find the item and then extract it successfully into your inventory. You can toggle the ‘Train Scrappy’ option to make things easier, which will automatically mark the item in your inventory. To reduce the risk, make sure to place it in your safe spot to avoid losing it in case of death.

You can then use the Dog Collar to train Scrappy and upgrade him to the next level. In the playtest, we also required a Torn Blanket along with the Dog Collar, which is no longer the case in the full version of ARC Raiders.
