ARC Raiders Laser Level locations are mostly reported on Pendola Pass, where the new Frozen Trail Outpost needs three of these Epic materials for its final room expansion. Your best places to search are Almatera Station, Cielo Sereno Observatory, the Railyard and the Storm Huts that open during Flash Freeze. You’ll also need three Insulation Rolls and 40 Sheet Metal for the Level 4 room.
The tricky part isn’t a puzzle or a locked quest. Laser Levels are ordinary loot, not a fixed pickup. Players find them loose on train seats, display racks and shelves, and sometimes in containers. A successful location on one raid can be empty the next, so here’s how to choose a good route rather than search the same shelf all evening.
Best ARC Raiders Laser Level locations on Pendola Pass

These ARC Raiders Laser Level locations have been reported since the October 8 update. Pendola Pass also uses dynamic loot zones: a high-value location can change between raids. Check which areas are marked valuable when you deploy instead of assuming the Observatory or Railyard will always be best.
| Location | Where to look | Access |
|---|---|---|
| Almatera Station | Second-floor display racks and train carriages | Any raid |
| Cielo Sereno Observatory | Industrial workspaces, tables, shelving and storage | Any raid |
| Railyard / Freight Terminal | Parked train cars and industrial loose loot | Any raid |
| Storm Huts | Shelves and containers inside emergency shelters | Flash Freeze only |
| Commissary Supermarket | Visible loose loot on shop shelves | Any raid |
ARC Raiders Laser Level locations at Almatera Station
Almatera Station has one of the clearest recent leads: a player looking for their last Laser Level was directed to the second-floor display racks and reported finding it. Search those racks first, then check the seats, tables and storage in the trains around the station. Other players have also found the material on trains underneath the station.
Nothing is guaranteed in those racks. If you arrive to find the station already looted, look for nearby train carriages before moving across the whole map. Check loose items sitting on shelves as well as those inside containers; players have found Laser Levels out in the open.
ARC Raiders Laser Level locations at Cielo Sereno Observatory
At Cielo Sereno Observatory, prioritise Industrial and Mechanical loot areas. Sweep workbenches, desks, open shelves and the rooms with technical equipment. Players report Laser Levels around the Observatory, although reports don’t agree on one particular room. That means a key or locked door shouldn’t be treated as a guaranteed solution.
If the Observatory is highlighted as a valuable loot zone when you deploy, it can be a good first stop. If you spawned closer to Almatera Station, search the railway first rather than crossing the map to reach the Observatory.
ARC Raiders Laser Level locations at Railyard and Freight Terminal
The Railyard is another reported drop area. Search the parked trains and exposed loot on worktops, shelving and train seats; a material sitting in the open can be easy to miss if you’re only opening boxes. Try the industrial containers too, but there’s no confirmed single crate that always holds a Laser Level.
A route through the Railyard and Almatera Station makes sense if those areas are close to your starting point. Don’t force the same long circuit every raid. Because the map changes which zones have better loot, the best ARC Raiders Laser Level locations may be in a different nearby area next time.
ARC Raiders Laser Level locations in Storm Huts

Storm Huts are the emergency shelters around Pendola Pass. They’re normally closed, but when Flash Freeze begins, an emergency warning plays and shelter markers appear on the map. Go to the closest hut, get inside and check shelves, loose loot and containers. Players have reported Laser Levels here alongside Insulation Rolls and Epoxy Buckets.
Add a Storm Hut to your route if Flash Freeze starts, but don’t count on getting inside one on every raid. If Flash Freeze never begins, stick with the station, Railyard or Observatory instead. Our Storm Hut locations guide lists all nine reported shelter areas and how their doors open.
Fastest ARC Raiders Laser Level locations route for three items
You need three Laser Levels, so work from your nearest worthwhile area rather than fighting your way across every landmark. Follow this order when the map and weather cooperate:
- Check Pendola Pass’s current high-value areas at the start of the raid.
- If you’re near Almatera Station, search its second-floor racks and the train cars.
- If you spawn near Cielo Sereno Observatory, sweep industrial rooms and open shelves.
- If the Railyard is closest, check parked trains and nearby industrial loot.
- When Flash Freeze starts, consider diverting into the nearest open Storm Hut.
- Extract once you’ve secured a Laser Level rather than losing it on an unrelated fight.
Some players prefer night raids when hunting rare materials. There isn’t a published drop chance for Laser Levels by time of day, however, so the map’s current loot-zone quality is a better reason to pick a route. None of the ARC Raiders Laser Level locations listed above should be treated as a guaranteed every-raid spawn.
ARC Raiders Laser Level locations: Outpost Level 4 requirements
Laser Levels are one of the Outpost’s Level 3 to Level 4 construction materials. The final room requires the items below, and it has to be unlocked after the earlier expansions. You can’t skip directly from your starting room to Level 4.
| Material | Amount needed |
|---|---|
| Laser Level | 3 |
| Insulation Roll | 3 |
| Sheet Metal | 40 |
Finishing this room raises the cap for your Research Station and is required before Gunsmith Level 4. The Gunsmith’s own upgrade materials are a separate purchase. See our Outpost Upgrades, Workshop Upgrades and Insulation Roll guides for the rest of the materials.
ARC Raiders Laser Level locations not spawning: what to try
If you’ve already searched these locations and found nothing, that doesn’t mean the item is locked behind another quest. It has random loot spawns, and other Raiders may have searched the shelves before you. Try a different area on the next raid, check loose objects as well as containers, and use Flash Freeze shelters when they’re available.
Keep any Laser Levels you extract in your stash until you have all three. The item is required at the Outpost expansion screen, so selling or recycling a spare can turn a successful raid into another trip back to Pendola Pass.
