ARC Raider's core gameplay loop is focused on deploying on maps, looting valuable items, and extracting back to Speranza. However, things can go wrong quickly as ARC Machines and players pose a great threat, and there's always a risk of losing your loot. However, you can utilize the Safe Pockets in the inventory to keep your most valuable items safe from getting lost upon death. This guide will explain how Safe Pockets work in ARC Raiders & how to increase them for your character.
How to Use Safe Pockets in ARC Raiders (Prevent Item Loss)
Safe Pockets are a great way to secure your most valuable loot in ARC Raiders. Storing your items inside this section of your inventory will guarantee its extraction, even if your character dies during the raid. It's a great feature that players should utilize for specific loot, such as legendary gear, blueprints, items with high sale value, etc.
To use the Safe Pockets in ARC Raiders, make sure you have an Augment other than the "Free Loadout Augment" equipped. Equipping an Augment will allow you to have a safe pocket inside your inventory.
Now, if you come across any valuable item during raids, simply drag and drop the item into your Safe Pocket. If you're on a controller, press the action button on a piece of loot and choose the "Move to Safe Pocket" option. If a player dies, they'll still lose all their equipment and loot, but the item stored in Safe Pocket will be auto-extracted.
How to Increase Safe Pockets in ARC Raiders
At the start of the game, players will have access to a single Safe Pocket, but they can increase it later on. To increase your Safe Pocket from one to two, players can get the Looting MK. 2 Augment either during raids or by purchasing it from Trader Lance at the Clinic.
Equipping the Looting MK. 2 Augment will allow players to have two Safe Pockets, while the Epic version of the Augment can bring up their total Safe Pocket count to three in ARC Raiders. This is an immensely useful feature that players should utilize, as Topside is an unpredictable place, and nothing hurts more than losing your hard-earned loot.
