The Flickering Flames event in Arc Raiders is now live, bringing cold, eerie weather to the topside. The update introduces a new map condition, new cosmetics, and lootable items, making it worth exploring, even for experienced Raiders.
The main goal is to complete the Flickering Flames project, which involves six distinct steps. Each step requires a significant amount of materials donated. One of these materials is the Film Reel, needed specifically for completing step three of the project. Here’s everything you need to know about finding Film Reels and where to focus your search.
Where To Find Film Reels
Film Reels are a type of Trinket item categorized under Residential items. You’ll generally find them in locations marked with a person icon. Here are the best areas to search if you’re after Film Reels:
- Village in The Blue Gate
- Grandioso Apartments and Saint Maria Houses in Buried City
- Ruby Residence and Pale Apartments in Dam Battlegrounds
Among these, the Village is the top choice because it contains mostly Residential-focused loot and has a high density of lootable spots. The Village features many apartments, each with multiple floors that you can explore. This makes it easier to find valuables like Film Reels since you’ll have numerous places to search within a compact area.
Pro tip: Focus on lockers, dressers, cabinets, and suitcases since these are most likely to contain valuables.
It’s best to start your search on the northern side of the Village, which is mainly residential. The southern part has more businesses, so the north provides a better chance for looting Residential items without interference. Don’t forget to check the roofs and attics; some are accessible only through skylights.
If you prefer exploring a different map, Buried City is another excellent option, especially the southern parts, which are full of Residential locations. Grandioso Apartments and Saint Maria Houses are particularly good—one with many individual apartments and the other with small buildings filled with loot containers.
For players who want to avoid fighting, Pale Apartments and Ruby Residence in Dam Battlegrounds are good options. These areas are less prominent, usually overlooked by other players, and located away from main points of interest. They are broken into several buildings, each with a few apartments, making them a quiet spot to find Film Reels without fear of other Raiders.
Note: Film Reels cannot be purchased or crafted; they must be looted from the environment or found on fallen enemies. You’ll need to find the two Reels through legitimate loot runs.
