ARC Raiders has 7 maps: Pendola Pass, Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, Spaceport, The Blue Gate, Stella Montis and Riven Tides. Between them they hold 202 named places and 47 return points. Spaceport has the most named places at 35, with Dam Battlegrounds close behind at 34, while Riven Tides has the fewest at 22. Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, Spaceport and The Blue Gate each have 8 return points, and Pendola Pass has only 4.
A return point is where a Raider leaves a round, and the in-game map shows where each one is. They come in 5 types: Transceivers, Elevators, Raider Hatches, Metro stations and Airshafts. Dam Battlegrounds is the gentlest map at difficulty 2 of 5. Pendola Pass, Buried City and Spaceport sit at 3 of 5, and The Blue Gate and Stella Montis at 4 of 5, with Stella Montis offering 6 return points. Riven Tides is the hardest at 5 of 5 and has just 5 return points, so plan your way out before you go deep.
An ordinary round, with no map condition running, has 2,152 loot container spots of 18 kinds, but a round fills only some of them, so a spot that held a container last time can be empty the next. ARC can appear in 1,020 areas, and which machine shows up varies from round to round. The Sentinel, Turret, ARC Turbine, Snitch, Hydra and ARC Surveyor each have spawn points of their own. Cold Snap, Hidden Bunker, Husk Graveyard, Lush Blooms, Uncovered Caches, Hurricane, Electromagnetic Storm, Close Scrutiny, Bird City and Locked Gate each bring spots of their own, and those spots exist only in that condition's rounds.
When a map opens, it shows the named places and the return points. Loot containers, world objects, quest objects, ARC spawn areas and the map conditions are switched on in the panel. Choose a map, then pan and zoom to move around, turning each of these on or off in the panel as you need it. You can search for a place or a return point by name, and the address keeps your current view, so you can share exactly what you are looking at.
