In ARC Raiders, "Security Breach" is a high-level survival skill that grants access to exclusive loot containers known as Security Lockers. These lockers are one of the most reliable sources for high-tier gear, including purple rarity weapons and rare blueprints.

Key Features & Loot

• Loot Quality: These lockers frequently drop epic-tier weapons such as the Bobcat, Tempest, and Vulcano.
• Spawn Logic: While once fixed, lockers now spawn dynamically across all maps (Buried City, Spaceport, Dam Battlegrounds) to prevent players from rushing the same static points every match.
• Night Raids: The quality and quantity of loot from these breaches are significantly improved during night-time events.
• Shared Access: Once you unlock the skill, you can also search lockers that have already been opened by other players.

Loot Content & Odds

On average, a single Security Breach locker yields about 7 to 13 items. Common loot includes:

• High-Tier Weapons: Frequent drops of Epic-tier weapons like the Wolfpack, Bobcat, Bettina, and Tempest.
• Blueprints: You will often find multiple weapon blueprints and complex gun parts.
• Explosives & Ammo: Lockers typically contain ~2 explosives and at least 2 types of different ammo (Light, Medium, Heavy, or Shotgun).
• Epic Chance: There is approximately a 50% chance of finding at least one Epic item per locker.

Is It Worth It?

The community consensus is that while the skill requires a "hefty investment" that limits your ability to max out other trees (like Mobility or Conditioning), it remains the best endgame skill for dedicated scavengers. Despite a "nerf" shortly after launch that adjusted drop rates, recent "ninja buffs" in early 2026 have made it highly rewarding again.

Common Locations (Likely Spawn Points)

• Buried City: Pharmacies, the hospital rooftop (via zipline), and the second floor of the library.
• Spaceport: The bottom floor of the space travel building and various locked rooms requiring keys.
• Dam Battlegrounds: There are approximately 14 known locations where these breaches can appear.

Note: Do not attempt to use "door-glitching" exploits to access these rooms without the skill; developer Embark Studios has been issuing 30-day suspensions for such behavior as of January 2026.
