The Best Places To Farm Epoxy Buckets In Arc Raiders

Published Oct 15, 2026, 2:10 PM EDT Collin is a Guides Staff Writer at TheGamer who has been writing guides for nearly ten years. He is also a professional game/level designer. More importantly, he's still waiting for a new Ape Escape game to release. Arc Raiders: Frozen Trail is the latest DLC for this extraction shooter. Along with a new map, this content drop introduces two ARC enemies, new weapons, quests, the Outpost to build, quality-of-life features, and loot. Unsurprisingly, a lot of these new materials are used to craft, upgrade, or build new gear introduced. One of these materials is the Epoxy Bucket, which is used to upgrade your Level 3 Outpost. A Rare-tier item, the Epoxy Bucket is something you can easily overlook and can be a bit tricky to find if you don't know where to look. Here is what you need to know so you can hunt down all the Epoxy Buckets needed. Where To Find Epoxy Buckets When it comes to finding Epoxy Buckets, they are currently exclusive to the new Pendola Pass map. While this could change in the future, right now you are limited to Arc Raiders' new snow-covered location. Of course, some sports on this map are better for hunting down Epoxy Buckets, so here's a quick breakdown of the key areas I always recommend looking first: Railyard Cielo Sereno Observatory Almatra Station Snow Shelters Of these locations, I have had the most success at Railyard and Cielo Sereno Observatory. For the former, Railyard is broken up into three key sections, two of which are worth exploring if you're hunting for Epoxy Buckets. The first is the large structure on the east side of this area, which has a large open office area and a couple of small rooms. You can usually find an Epoxy Bucket in this area, as it's often sitting openly on a chair, desk, or table. I have yet to find one on the desks themselves; however, looking around them can usually yield one or two. Alternatively, I recommend looking through all the open trains on the southern side of this point of interest, as there is usually an Epoxy Bucket either among the luggage, in the train cars, or any of the breachable metal boxes. As for Cielo Sereno Observatory, this is another terrific location if you're specifically looking for Epoxy Buckets. Located in the northeastern corner of the map, when you arrive here, I suggest prioritizing any metal boxes that you need to breach. Epoxy Buckets have a good chance of spawning in these, making them excellent for farming if you're looking for this item. You can find quite a few of them in the maintenance tunnels, so make sure to go into those first, as they have an abundance of breachable containers, toolboxes, and black crates you can loot. In a good run, I can average around 2–3 Epoxy Buckets from this point of interest in a single session. As for alternatives, Almatera Station can be a good place to look, thanks to all the open trains you can search around it and the building itself having a decent number of containers. However, there are way more breachable objects here, many of which don't seem to spawn Epoxy Buckets, so I wouldn't make this area my first stop. Check the trains around, but focus on hitting the other two areas listed above first. Snow Shelters are also great for finding Epoxy Buckets, but these are high traffic and extremely limited. Available only during flash freezes, you will need to look on your map during the storm for a white tent icon. This indicates which of the shelters is open. If you can beat the rush of other Raiders, you'll often find quite a bit of high-tier loot here, which absolutely includes Epoxy Buckets. Again, almost everyone on the map tries to reach these when the first flash freeze hits, so it's not the most reliable way to farm this material. That being said, if a storm rolls in and you're close, then you should drop everything and go to the shelter first. It almost always has an Epoxy Bucket, and you'll walk out with quite a few extra goodies!
