Arc Raiders: How to Get Laser Levels in Pendola Pass

Laser Level is an Epic Topside Material in Arc Raiders used to feed your crafting economy and an Outpost upgrade. It shows up most reliably on the Pendola Pass map, both inside the Storm Huts dotted around the terrain and in the train cars at Rallyard. Running the map at night pushes high-tier items like this one toward better spawn rates.

Quick answer: Deploy to Pendola Pass, enter a Storm Hut (one sits near Northern Tracks), and search the containers and open shelves inside. Rallyard train cars are the backup spot. Night raids raise the odds.

Laser Level stats and loot categories

Laser Level is a light item, so carrying a few back out of a raid costs almost nothing in weight. It belongs to the Mechanical and Industrial loot categories, which is why it turns up in industrial-flavored containers and areas rather than medical or residential ones. It was added in the Frozen Trail update.

Where Laser Level spawns on Pendola Pass

Pendola Pass is the snowy map to focus on, and it unlocks once you have played 25 rounds. Laser Level concentrates in a handful of industrial zones there, each with its own loot weight. Use the table below to decide where to drop in before the run starts.

Area	Loot type	Loot amount
Cielo Sereno Observatory	Industrial, on the ground	Heavy
Almatera Station	On the ground	Above average
Rallyard	Industrial, on the ground	Light
Storm Huts (e.g. near Northern Tracks)	Containers, open shelving	Contested

The item can sit loose in the open, resting on shelves, tables, seats, and inside cars, or it can be locked inside industrial containers. The containers that hold it include the Industrial Crate, Lockers, Shipping Container Drawer, and Tool Trolley.

Storm Hut method (fastest route)

Deploy into Pendola Pass, ideally during a night raid for the better high-tier drop chance. Open the map and find a Storm Hut marker, such as the one near Northern Tracks.

Move to the hut and climb up into the elevated container building. These are high-tier loot spots, so expect company and get inside quickly rather than looting the approach.

Search every container, weapon case, and scrap box inside, and check the open metal shelving units where loose items rest. Laser Level can appear in either place.

When you spot a Laser Level on a shelf, pick it up. Clear your backpack first if it is full, since the pickup prompt will warn you when there is no room.

If extraction looks dangerous, stash three Laser Levels in a secure pocket so you keep enough for the Outpost upgrade even if the rest of your loadout is lost.

Rallyard trains as a backup spot

When the Storm Huts or the observatory are contested, head to Rallyard. The train cars parked there can spawn Laser Level alongside other Mechanical and Industrial loot. It is a lighter loot zone than the observatory, so treat it as a secondary stop rather than your opening drop.

What Laser Level is used for

You will not craft a Laser Level from scratch. Its value is in breaking it down and in one workshop requirement. The Outpost Level 4 upgrade needs three Laser Levels, so that is the main reason to keep a stack rather than sell them.

Recycling one returns 2 Mechanical Components and 2 Steel Springs.
Salvaging one returns 1 Mechanical Components.
Selling one is worth 2,000 Coins.

Because the recycle output is worth close to the straight sell price, a sensible rule is to keep your first three for the Outpost upgrade and treat any extras from later runs as material or sale stock.

How to confirm you got one

After collecting it, check the Topside Material section of your inventory. The confirmed Laser Level is Epic, weighs 0.5, stacks up to three, and can be broken down for crafting materials; its listed locations are Mechanical and Industrial. Extract successfully to transfer it to your stash, ready for the Outpost Level 4 upgrade.
