You’ve jumped into ARC Raiders and are making headway by collecting materials, extracting, and completing quests. One of the quests you receive from Celeste early in the game is “A Bad Feeling.” It requires you to find and search Arc Probes or Couriers, introducing you to a way to obtain loot from Arc enemies in the game. If you want to quickly complete the “A Bad Feeling” quest, we have listed the locations of Arc Probes and Arc Couriers in ARC Raiders below.
Okay, first things first, you need to know what the Arc Probe and Courier look like. The former is similar in design to a missile and can be found stuck in the ground or just lying there. You can gut its internals for loot. The latter, Arc Courier, looks more like a saucer from an alien invasion.


An easy way to spot both the Arc Probe and Courier from a distance while exploring the map is to look for black smoke rising from these mechanical corpses. With the basics out of the way, it’s time to check out where you can find Arc Probes and Couriers in ARC Raiders:
Arc Probe Locations in ARC Raiders

Celeste wants you to explore Arc Probes and Couriers to not only introduce you to new loot but also to help unlock additional quests. So, here are all the places where we found the Arc Probes:
- In the forest to the West of the Water Treatment Control
- To the south of the Research & Administration building (we even found two probes close by)
- Right outside the Power Generation Complex
- In the center of the Hydroponic Dome Complex, close to the Field Depot
Arc Courier Locations in ARC Raiders

Here are all the places where we found Arc Couriers in ARC Raiders:
- Near the Victory Ridge spawn point
- Near the west wall of the Electrical Substation
- Near the intersection road of the Electrical Substation and Water Treatment Control
- To the south of the Research and Administration building, near the slope
- In the forest just south-west of Testing Annex
Now, an important thing to note here is that these are the most common spawn locations of the Arc Couriers and Probes. While the Courier will likely be found at the locations easily, Probe spawns can be a little random. These are Arc Raiders enemy types too, but they don’t actively shoot at you.
Still, both of these machines are worth chasing for high-tier loot and completing the “A Bad Feeling” quest in ARC Raiders. Once you complete the quest, you will obtain 10 Metal Parts, 5 Steel Springs, and 5 Duct Tape from Celeste.
To conclude, these are only some of the locations that we discovered in our first few raids. We will be updating this guide with more locations, and Arc Probe and Courier locations on other maps. If you locate one of these ARCs, do let us know in the comments section. We will add them to the list for our readers.
Upon completion, the “A Bad Feeling” quest from Celeste gives 10 Metal Parts, 5 Steel Springs, and 5 Duct Tape.
