The Rusted Bolts are an uncommon item in the game, which is fairly easy to find if you are looking in the right places. Here is everything you need to know about their locations and how one should farm them in Arc Raiders.

Rusted Bolts can be recycled into Metal Parts x8, and you can sell them for 640 Coins. They are found in Mechanical and Industrial locations, which gives you a lot of options. Almost every map besides Buried City is great for finding these bolts, but certain areas and spots have higher chances.

Once you are ready and about to start a match, it is recommended that you take a normal kit with either a Looting Mk 2 or 3 because of the safe pockets. Free loadout is also an option, but because it doesn't offer any safe pockets, even if you were to find 2–3 stacks of rusted bolts, all of them will be lost if another online raider knocks you out.

There are specific drawers and boxes that you need to be on the lookout for once you load into the game. If you happen to spawn near the Water Treatment Control on Dam Battleground, head inside, and you will find a bunch of red lockers to loot. If there are multiple of these, you could get a few rusted bolts.

Rusted bolts can also be found inside the tool chests usually found in areas like Assembly Workshop in Stella Montis. These are mainly yellow or white in color and can have multiple searchable drawers. You might also come across shipping containers that have drawers on the side that you can loot. Since most of these containers are inside industrial areas, the chances of getting the bolts inside these are great as well.

An optimal farming route for these items would be to check out the Hydroponic Dome Complex for any tool chests or metal shelves, then go to the Water Treatment Control for the red lockers, then finally check out the containers in the Primary Facility before safely extracting at any nearby elevator.
