The Cold Snap event brings a seasonal shift to the world of Arc Raiders, adding new challenges and objectives tied to the Flickering Flames project. Players must gather specific materials to progress through this winter-themed activity, making resource management an important part of the experience.
Among these materials, Candle Holders hold particular value due to their limited availability. Players actively search residential areas and other designated zones to collect enough of them to complete their event goals efficiently.
How to Locate Candle Holders in Arc Raiders
Players can obtain Candle Holders by exploring Residential areas marked with the small human-shaped icon on the in-game map. These zones contain key loot objects such as dressers, suitcases, cabinets, and containers, where Candle Holders most frequently spawn. Careful searching in every room improves the chances of finding this uncommon material.
The following areas offer reliable opportunities for collection:
| Location | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ruby Residence & Pale Apartments (Dam Battlegrounds) | Positioned northwest of the Hydroponic Dome Complex. These sites have a manageable number of enemies and accessible storage spots. | Optimal for consistent farming with minimal interference. |
| Village at the Blue Gate | Located in the northwest section of the map, featuring numerous apartment structures and dense loot pools. | High loot density makes this a productive zone. |
| Grandioso Apartments, Buried City | Compact area with frequent player encounters. | More risk, but potential for quick finds if approached carefully. |
Each Flickering Flames project requires three Candle Holders. Any extras can either be sold for currency or broken down into crafting materials for later use.
