Barren Clearing location in ARC Raiders: The Blue Gate map

MapThe Blue Gate
Loot categoriesARC
Container spots8
Nearest return pointReinforced Hatch, about 170 m

Barren Clearing is a named place in the upper left of The Blue Gate. The in-game map marks it with the ARC loot category, so expect machine salvage rather than household or industrial pickings.

In an ordinary round the clearing has 8 container spots, most of them Wasp Husks, alongside 2 Raider Caches, a Worn Backpack and a Crashed ARC Probe. Most of these are possible spots, and a round fills only some of them. An ARC Turbine and an ARC Surveyor both have spawn points here, though not every spawn point is used each round, and two areas can hold large ground machines, with the machine varying from round to round.

The nearest way out is the Reinforced Hatch, a Raider Hatch about 170 m away in a straight line; The Blue Gate has more than one level, so the walk can run longer. Cold Snap rounds bring 12 spots of their own, and Husk Graveyard rounds have 4.
