Are you looking for Water Pumps to farm Oil? Here's a guide on where you can find the Water Pumps in ARC Raiders.

As ARC Raiders is an extraction shooter, looting and crafting with materials is a major part of the game's progression. After crafting different items, you can take them with you to the topside to make your adventure a lot easier. 

The more you progress to the endgame stage, eliminating large ARCs will become a central focus of the game's PvE and PvP aspects. To take out these ARCs, you will need explosives like the Wolfpack and Trailblazer grenades.

The core element for highly effective explosives is oil. Personally, I ran out of oil in no time thanks to the trials and PvE challenges of the game. If you're constantly running out of oil then look for Water Pumps as they are a great source of oil and metal.

Water Pumps are an important requirement for completing the requirements for the final phase of the Flickering Flames project. While the drop pattern of loot is random in ARC Raiders, there are certain places that can drop certain items, like Water Pumps.

Water Pumps are a crafting resource that falls under the industrial category. If you're looking for Water Pumps, then try venturing into or looking into industrial POIs of all maps in ARC Raiders. Here are the best locations to look for Water Pumps:

  • Research and Administration and Power Generation Complex in Dam Battlegrounds
  • All Industrial POIs in Spaceport, mainly Shipping Warehouse
Metaforge
All Industrial POIs in Dam Battlegrounds in ARC Raiders
All Industrial POIs in Dam Battlegrounds in ARC Raiders

In our play sessions, the best places to look for Water Pumps were the Research and Administration and Power Generation Complex in Dam Battlegrounds. For both of these POIs, you can search the brown square breachable containers for Water Pumps, then extract through the Pump House hatch or the Power Generation Complex extraction.
