The Cold Snap event for Arc Raiders is now live, bringing new cosmetics to earn, a snow-themed map challenge, and more materials to collect. During this event, your main goal is to complete the Flickering Flames project, which is similar to the Expedition Project. It involves donating specific materials in different steps.
One of these steps requires you to donate three Candle Holders, which are uncommon items. Many players have sold or left these behind without much thought, but now that they’re needed, here’s where to find Candle Holders for the event.
Where to Find Candle Holders
To find Candle Holders, look in areas marked as Residential. These locations are indicated by a small person icon and are more likely to spawn Candle Holders. The best places to search are:
- Village on The Blue Gate
- Grandioso Apartments on Buried City
- Ruby Residence and Pale Apartments on Dam Battlegrounds
Among these, the Village on The Blue Gate is the most fruitful. Situated on the northwest side of the map, this village has many apartment buildings with multiple floors, making it an excellent spot for loot. The high density of containers increases your chances of finding residential items like Candle Holders.
During a single play session, I saw teammates gather all three Candle Holders they needed for Flickering Flames, and I found two of mine in the same run. To maximize your chances, focus on scavenging dressers, containers, suitcases, and cabinets, as these are usually filled with residential items.
If the Village isn’t your preferred area, the Grandioso Apartments serve as a good backup. It’s smaller but still has plenty of containers and loot spots. The southern part of Buried City is mainly residential, so running from house to house is also effective.
Note: Be aware that Buried City’s tight spaces can be more dangerous because players tend to focus more on PvP there.
Another good location is the Ruby Residence and Pale Apartments on Dam Battlegrounds. Situated northwest of the Hydroponic Dome Complex, this area is quieter, with less chance of running into other players. It comprises several apartment buildings, each with at least two fully lootable apartments. Although it’s less dense than the other locations, it’s ideal for quick in-and-out looting since you might spawn right near these buildings.
Remember, you need three Candle Holders for the Flickering Flames project. Any extras you find can be sold or dismantled, as they aren’t used for anything else at this time.
