Humidifiers might look like simple household appliances, but in ARC Raiders, they’re rare and valuable resources used for crafting and project upgrades. Whether you’re hunting for them to complete an expedition project or to recycle them for useful materials, knowing exactly where to find Humidifiers can save you several frustrating runs.
What Are Humidifiers in ARC Raiders?
A Humidifier is a recyclable and rare material found primarily in residential buildings across the different maps. When salvaged, it provides:
- 2× Canisters
- 2× Wires
You can also sell it for $1,000, but it’s more valuable when used in crafting or upgrades. For example, certain Outfitting (4/6) projects require:
- 5× Humidifiers
- 5× Advanced Electrical Components
- 3× Magnetic Accelerators
- 3× Leaper Pulse Units
Each Humidifier weighs about 2 kg and stacks up to three units, so plan your stash space carefully before heading out.
Best Locations to Find Humidifiers
Although they’re rare, Humidifiers consistently spawn in residential-type buildings across various maps. Below are the most reliable farming locations:
1. Red Tower – Buried City
The Red Tower is the most dependable location to secure a Humidifier.
- How to reach: Load into the Buried City map and travel northeast from Plaza Rosa.
- What to look for: The Red Tower is a tall, red-painted structure easily visible from a distance. Enter through the ground-level entrance and move upstairs to find a room with a broken wall.
- Loot tip: On the left side, search the red lockers—they usually contain at least one Humidifier.
- Once looted, exit through the same entrance and take the escalator leading down to the metro station to extract safely.
Pro tip: Use a normal loadout instead of a free one so you can store the Humidifier in your Safe Pocket if you get knocked down.
2. Ruby Residences – Dam Battlegrounds
This is another strong farming area located on the north side of the Dam map.
- Look for apartment-style complexes with balconies and shrub-covered facades.
- Search each floor thoroughly—Humidifiers often spawn on kitchen shelves or utility corners.
- A few runs through this zone usually yield at least one guaranteed find.
3. Hospital – Buried City
Head to the northern section of the Buried City map to find the old hospital complex.
- Focus your search on the middle and upper floors, where residential equipment spawns are denser.
- Humidifiers here are often tucked beside hospital lockers and side rooms with dismantled furniture.
4. Space Travel Building – Buried City
This building can be identified by the JKV logo near its entrance.
- It’s a lower spawn-rate area but a reliable repeatable farm over multiple runs.
- Lockers on the top floors are your best bet; while rare, you can usually pull one Humidifier every few expeditions.
Farming Tips
- Target residential plots: The in-game tooltip specifically notes that Humidifiers spawn in “Residential” areas—so avoid warehouses or military bases.
- Plan for weight: Each unit weighs 2 kg, so don’t overload your inventory before extraction.
- Repeat runs efficiently: Extract once you’ve secured the item—reloading the same map refreshes spawn chances.
- Watch for enemy Pops: These can ambush you during your descent to extraction zones, especially near metro entrances.
What to Do With Humidifiers
You can:
- Recycle them for Canisters and Wires to craft higher-tier gear.
- Sell them for $1,000 to free inventory space.
- Use them in Expedition or Outfitting projects, which require multiple units.
Balancing between keeping and recycling them depends on your upgrade priorities. Early players should store at least 5–10 Humidifiers before selling extras. Play Now!
