Candle holders in Arc Raiders aren’t just decorative-they’re a key crafting material hidden in unexpected places. Here’s where to track them down before your next raid leaves you in the dark.
Candle holders are a crafting material found in Residential areas in Arc Raiders. At the time of writing, they’re required for the Flickering Flames project, as the second stage requires three of them to be donated, alongside some other resources. Chances are you’ve found them in the past and either sold or recycled them because they weren’t used to craft anything themselves.
Best residential POIs to farm Candle Holders fast
The fastest Candle Holder farms are three dense residential POIs that share the Residential loot table and have lots of indoor containers.
Top POIs to farm
-
Village (The Blue Gate): Highest density; many multi-floor apartment blocks packed with dressers, cabinets, and suitcases, making it the most reliable spot for multiple Candle Holders per run.
-
Grandioso Apartments (Buried City): Compact residential block in the southern part of Buried City with tightly packed rooms and repeatable cupboard spawns, but high PvP risk.
-
Ruby Residence & Pale Apartments (Dam Battlegrounds): Cluster northwest of Hydroponic Dome Complex with several fully lootable apartments, lower player traffic, and quick in-and-out runs.
Quick route tips
-
Prioritize the Village when you want maximum Candle Holders in one expedition; clear each apartment building floor by floor instead of hopping between buildings.
-
Use Grandioso for short, high-intensity runs, and pick Ruby Residence/Pale Apartments when you want safer, low-pressure farming with fewer other squads around.
Best residential POIs on Dam Battlegrounds for Candle Holders
On Dam Battlegrounds, the best residential POIs for farming Candle Holders are Ruby Residence and Pale Apartments in the northwest section of the map, just above the Hydroponic Dome Complex.
Primary POIs
-
Ruby Residence: Multi-story apartment buildings with several full interiors; strong chance of 1-2 Candle Holders per clear when you thoroughly loot drawers, cabinets, fridges, and suitcases.
-
Pale Apartments: Sits right next to Ruby Residence and shares the same residential loot table, so running both in a single route greatly increases your odds of getting all three Candle Holders in one raid.
Extra residential spot
-
Pattern House: A smaller residential location on Dam Battlegrounds that can also roll Candle Holders, useful to chain after Ruby Residence and Pale Apartments if you still need more.
