Candle Holders are considered rare residential loot in Arc Raiders and are essential for the progression of projects like Flickering Flames. Since they dont come up in sticker, like locations, it is quite annoying to find them if you are not aware of the workings of their loot system. This guide provides information about where Candle Holders can be found and how to farm them effectively.
How Candle Holders Spawn

Candle Holders are part of the residential loot pool, which implies that they can only be found in housing, type areas. They are not the ones you will find in the military, industrial, or ARC, focused zones. Their availability is, however, entirely dependent on the looting of the right buildings and containers.
Some of the significant spawn rules are:
- Only in residential areas
- Mostly inside containers, rather than being in the open
- Spawn chances are different for each raid because of RNG
- In a single run, several Candle Holders may be able to show up
Therefore, it is more important to loot thoroughly than to be quick in your movement.
Best Locations to Farm Candle Holders

The Blue Gate Village
The Blue Gate area is definitely one of the safest and most reliable places to farm Candle Holders. The village is made up of many small houses that are built very close to each other which makes the looting fast and at the same time you are taking very little risk.
Dam Battlegrounds Ruby Residence and Pale Apartments
The two apartment buildings are by far the most productive farming spots you can think of. There are more rooms and floors resulting in more containers per raid which also leads to more spawn points. PvP activity will be at its peak here.
Buried City Grandioso Apartments
Grandioso Apartments provide the same amount of residential loot as the Dam Battlegrounds but the space inside is smaller and the risk of the ambush is higher. A solid alternative if all the other maps are taken.
Buried City Santa Maria Houses
These smaller homes have fewer containers but still pull from the correct loot pool. Best used for quick supplemental runs.
Containers to Prioritize
Most of the time, a Candle Holder can be found in:
- Cabinets and cupboards
- Dressers and drawers
- Suitcases and storage boxes
- Bedroom and kitchen furniture
Skipping containers drastically reduces your chances.
Efficient Farming Tips
- Focus on one residential cluster per run
- Loot every container before moving on
- Avoid unnecessary combat
- Extract early once you find Candle Holders
- Run multiple short raids instead of long clears
Finding Candle Holders in Arc Raiders is about targeting the right areas and looting thoroughly. Residential zones like The Blue Gate Village, Ruby Residence, and Grandioso Apartments offer the best results. With focused routes and disciplined extractions, you can complete Candle Holder objectives in just a few runs instead of dozens.
