In the dangerous world of Arc Raiders, players have to fight, steal, and scavenge anything that isn't nailed down. While you will find most of your loot just lying around or stored in conveniently placed boxes, some of the gear is hidden away and requires players to actually complete small puzzles to gain access to it.
Arc Raiders: Where To Find Damaged Heat Sinks
For those wanting to level up their Utility Station, here's where to find Damaged Heat Sinks in Arc Raiders.
One of these is located in the Adorned Wreckage, which will task you with dodging jets of deadly flames to reach breachable, ARC-themed machinery. So if you're unsure of what to do, where to go, or just how to survive without catching fire, here's what you need to know about the Adored Wreckage puzzle!
Where To Find The Adorned Wreckage Puzzle
Shocking no one, you can find this puzzle in the Adorned Wreckage point of interest on The Blue Gate map. Specifically, on the west side of this location, you will want to keep an eye out for what looks like a large metal turbine that has sparking blue electricity happening inside. Thankfully, the position of this puzzle will not change, so don't worry about running around and checking all the ARC parts to find where this puzzle is.
Additionally, there are usually quite a few ARC enemies hanging around this point of interest. In my testing, I encountered quite a few higher-tier ARCs such as Leapers and Rocketeers. Given that this puzzle makes a ton of noise once it starts, you might want to wait a little until those enemies are out of earshot before starting it.
How To Complete The Adorned Wreckage Puzzle
To complete the Adorned Wreckage puzzle, you will first need to bring (or find) two ARC Powercells into the raid with you. If you don't have any, then this puzzle literally cannot even be started. Thankfully, Blue Gate has a ton of ARC, so even if you don't have any to spend, you can always shoot down a few Wasps and loot their wreckage.
This puzzle is on a timer, so please make sure you are ready to move with haste the moment you throw the first Powercell in!
Once you have both ARC Powercells, approach the blue electricity and interact with the panel that's shooting out sparks. Upon using one of your two Powercells, flames will begin spraying on and off in the middle of the turbine. You need to wait till the flames briefly turn off and then run to the back of the turbine. Don't worry, you won't catch fire if you reach the other side before they turn back on!
Now, spend your second Powercell at the electrical panel in the back of the turbine. Doing so will cause the flame spray pattern to change into igniting sections of the turbine in a circular motion.
Wait until there's an opening and run back to the entrance of the turbine, but don't jump down onto the ground. Turn to either your right or left and jump/climb onto the small openings in the side of the turbine. Then immediately rotate 180 degrees and hop onto an exposed, flat metal platform. Wait for the flames to stop blocking your path, run to the back, and breach the machinery to complete the puzzle and claim your prize.
While this puzzle's loot won't blow your mind, it will offer a nice assortment of blue-tier ARC-centric materials and some key crafting materials like Advanced Electrical Components. I've heard of people potentially getting Epic-tier items from this, but I was never able to replicate this in all my testing. However, if you're running by and have some spare Powercells, it's a nice, quick loot cache you can snag!
