Where Lance’s Mixtape spawns
You can find the mixtape by scavenging in Residential and Commercial loot zones. There isn’t a fixed drop step to follow — it’s part of the standard exploration loop. If you’re running cash-oriented routes, keep an eye on typical high-traffic interiors and shelves where trinkets tend to surface.
Sell price, weight, and inventory math
At 10,000 per item, the mixtape is among the most valuable trinkets you can extract. Its low weight (0.2 kg) and a stack cap of three make it especially efficient for pure profit runs. Three tapes total 30,000 value for just 0.6 kg of carry weight — easy to justify even when you’re prioritizing combat gear or med supplies.
Does Lance’s Mixtape have a use beyond selling?
There’s no documented function for Lance’s Mixtape beyond its sell value. While some trinkets in ARC Raiders can be used for quests, workbench upgrades, or recipes, this specific item is treated as a high-value sellable. Trinkets also can’t be recycled, so your options are essentially extract-and-sell or leave it behind.
How it compares to other trinkets (value)
The mixtape sits at the top end of trinket sell values. Here’s how it stacks up against a few commonly found items:
| Trinket | Sell value |
|---|---|
| Vase | 3,000 |
| Music Box | 5,000 |
| Playing Cards | 5,000 |
| Red Coral Jewelry | 5,000 |
| Breathtaking Snow Globe | 7,000 |
| Lance’s Mixtape (5th Edition) | 10,000 |
Practical advice for runs
- If you’re tight on space, prioritize the mixtape over lower-value trinkets. The value-to-weight ratio is excellent.
- Because it stacks to three, it’s worth holding a second or third copy if you’re confident you can extract safely; otherwise, bank the instant 10,000 rather than risking a wipe.
- Don’t wait on a hidden use. Treat it as reliable cash unless future updates explicitly assign it a function.
The bottom line: Lance’s Mixtape (5th Edition) is a lightweight, high-yield trinket. If you find one, extract and sell — and if you find more, stack up to three for a tidy 30,000 payout without weighing yourself down.
