The demand for Cooling Coils has gone up ever since Expedition 2 became available in the project section of ARC Raiders.
While Cooling Coils have been present in the game since launch in October, they weren’t among the more essential items. However, the second Expedition project requires you to get this specific item if you plan on resetting your account in February.
This guide will help you narrow down the locations where you want to look.
Best locations to find Cooling Coils in ARC Raiders
Cooling Coils are available on every map in ARC Raiders. To raise your chances of success, you’ll want to look in areas that have an Industrial nature. The simple reason is Cooling Coils are considered Industrial items.
My two favorite maps for this resource so far have been Dam Battlegrounds and Spaceport. On Dam Battlegrounds, you’ll want to look at the Power Generation Complex, the Water Treatment Control Center, and the Hydrophonic Dome Complex in particular. I have found Cooling Coils across all three locations on my previous raids.

On Spaceport, you’ll want to be looking at Shipping Warehouse, Container Storage, and Rocket Assembly. The latter is also known for spawning other items like Mod Boxes, which are also required to complete the new Expedition project.

If you’re at the locations that I have mentioned, you’ll want to be looking into every possible container. The actual spawn location of these items, like all other resources, will be random. You’ll also have to be lucky, as someone could have looted them from their spawn locations. Either way, Cooling Coils aren’t the easiest items to find.
You can also try your luck on maps where the Cold Snap modifier is active. It raises the chances of finding rarer items, so that could help your case better. You’ll need to find at least four Coolig Coils to complete the second stage of the new Expedition project.
