How to get Power Cable in ARC Raiders

Some items that should be more common in ARC Raiders feel like they’re esoteric parts of the Arc of the Covenant, only the latter would probably be easier to find.

Unfortunately, they’re necessary for many upgrades and progressions in the game, and you absolutely must find them if you’re pose any serious threat to advanced players. The Power Cables are one such item, seemingly quite common but actually tough to get.

So, here are some spots that have the best odds of spawning them, allowing you to properly progress in the game.

Where and how to find Power Cables in ARC Raiders

Power Cables generally spawn in any Electrical, Commercial, or Residential loot zone, meaning there’s quite a wide variety of locations you can visit to find them. However, they most commonly spawn in various electrical devices, such as in computer screens that usually appear in office spaces on the various maps or in Field Depots.

We have had the most luck with finding Power Cables in the lower parts of the Power Generation Complex on Dam Battlegrounds, where they tend to spawn as in-world items rather than in containers. You can usually loot them from the top of the various consoles and machines that are in those parts of the zone.

A few Field Depots in Dam Battlegrounds also tend to spawn with computers, whose screens can oftentimes be looted for Power Cables. Make sure to visit any of the depots you come across and check if you can’t find some Power Cables inside.

Additionally, visiting places like the Grandioso Apartments in Buried City spawns a ton of these relatively common items, including Power Cables. The upper floors that have those bigger, more spacious apartments are the best parts to check out, as I’ve also looted pink components and blueprints from their many stashes before, alongside Power Cables themselves.
