How to complete the Launch Tower Loot in Arc Raiders

Many events in Arc Raider modify the map and give raiders more opportunities to obtain higher rarity loot. These events require players to visit multiple locations, push buttons, and loot key items. Because of this, there is a chance that the raiders will work together to complete the action faster and share the loot.

The Run Tower Loot The event is one of the shorter events and the loot is substantial, especially if there aren't many players looting containers. Here is the complete event guide for the Launch Tower Loot in Arc Raider.

Updated on January 11, 2026, by Waseem Muhammad: Despite the event only running for 2 hours each day, the player can provide good loot, especially if they are the only person looting chests, which is highly unlikely in most cases. The guide below has been updated to include more information on how to deal with the ARC waves that appear after pressing the button. Also added some tips and strategies on what players should do with enemy raiders who might zipline when they hear the roar.

Run the Tower Loot Event Guide in Arc Raiders

Launch Tower Loot event runs twice daily at 11:00 PM PST / 8:00 AM CET and 7:00 AM PST / 4:00 PM CET. The event lasts an hour, so you'll probably have time to do 2-3 runs depending on how long they last. To play it, start matchmaking on Cosmodrome a map with either a freeload or a full loadout.

Since there are many ARC enemies and potentially other raiders competing as well, it's best to bring a better loadout just to be safe.

Once you spawn, get to the launchers located in the center of the map. These are the tallest structures on the map, so you should be able to see them from almost anywhere. When you reach the towers you can go inside, but on the side to be locked you will find both doors. In the middle is a generator that requires a fuel cell to operate.

The location of the fuel cell is random, but it is always near the launch towersso you'll have to leave this room and look around. A Fuel Cell is a small, portable item that slows you down and prevents you from sprinting. because of that you should be careful not to have any ground or flying ARCs nearby or they will cause you problems.

Once you take the fuel cells back to the generator, simply interact with them to insert them, and there should be a lever on the side that you can pull.

The lever activates the gates to open, allowing you to go up the ziplines on either side of the towers. Be careful when you get to the upper area Pop and Fireball up here, and once you've dealt with them, go on to the roof.

There will be a few ARC enemies so you can deal with them if you want, and go up the stairs and you'll see a locked container with a switch next to it. Activating the switch makes a loud noise that attracts and summons flying ARCs, even the Rocketeer.

Now players can deal with these ARC enemies, which is extremely difficult if you are playing solo and there are no raiders around to help you. Alternatively, you can go down to the room where the Pops were and wait PUSH after activating the switch. This will cause most of the ARCs to lose sight and fly away, giving you time to sneak around and loot everything. You can also throw a smoke grenade to make the looting process easier.

There's a locked container on either side of the tower, so you can repeat the same process on the other side and pull up at the nearby elevator with your hard-earned loot. Watch out for people spawning near mining sites, as some players find it easy to defeat raiders who have already looted the tower instead of participating in the event themselves.

Tips for completing the Launch Tower Loot Event

If you're playing Solo and want loot all to yourself, then you're going to need a decent loadout. For Augment you can take a Combat Mk. 3 (flanking) because of the useful slots you get and have to place mines. Your load should ideally include:

Shock mines
Explosive mines
Grenade finder
wolf packs
Barricades
It heals a lot.

From Run Nades they are pretty overpowered right now, you might as well bring a few to the enemy raiders.

When loading into the match, run straight to the tower and zipline up after inserting the fuse cell. Now you only have time to position yourself around one entrance to the tower, meaning 2 ziplines can be covered. Place your explosive and impact mines near both ziplines. Place the barricade on the first staircase so players can't rush in and shoot you from behind. You can then use the second barricade on the tower roof to act as cover from the ARC when it appears.

When you see wasps and hornets, take out your Seeker Grenades and start throwing them in the air so most of these flying ARCs are addressed. Two Wolfpack Grenades should be enough for the Rocketeers.

Bringing a weapon like Renegade or Venator is best, as they easily deal with ARC and are also great weapons against any raider. Once you've finished looting the first chest, you can go to the other side and trigger the button on that side as well.

Keep in mind that since you haven't placed any mines on the other side, there is a very high probability that more raiders will come from that side and may even join forces to fight you. You can place a few min on the stairs on the other side before pressing the buttons if no one is standing there; otherwise prepare to fight.

After getting the loot from both chests, your next task will be to mine. The problem is that some players opt out of the event, but linger around the extractwaiting for players to come with all the loot. Some players may also have placed Jolt Mines at the bottom of the ziplines, so you'll have to go down carefully.

If you plan to complete the event in Duos or Trios, you can complete the mine setup much faster, giving you plenty of time to jump to the other chest and set the traps on the other side.
