As you explore the Rust Belt in Arc Raiders, you will encounter locked containers that standard breaching methods and keys cannot open. These Security Breaches hold some of the most valuable loot in the game, including high-tier weapons, ammunition, and useful utility items.
To access them, you must unlock the Security Breach skill for your Raider. Earning this skill takes time and planning, so you need to invest resources wisely to gain access without slowing your overall progression.
How to Unlock the Security Breach Skill in Arc Raiders
You unlock Security Breach through the Survival skill tree. The game requires you to invest 36 points in Survival before the perk becomes available, and you must spend one additional point to activate it.
In total, you need at least 37 skill points dedicated to Survival to gain access to Security Lockers.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Survival points needed | 36 |
| Extra point to unlock the perk | 1 |
| Minimum total investment | 37 points |
Although you can rush Survival early, that approach slows your overall progression. Ignoring Mobility reduces stamina efficiency, which forces you to spend more time moving between objectives and farming experience.
Prioritize the two Mobility upgrades below before committing heavily to Survival:
- Youthful Lungs
- Marathon Runner
After strengthening your stamina management, shift your focus to Survival. If you follow this path and skip early Expeditions, you will typically unlock Security Breach at around level 48, while maintaining smoother movement and faster XP gains.
