Candle holders are a crafting material you’ll only run into in Residential areas in Arc Raiders. Right now, they’re needed for the Flickering Flames project — stage two asks for three of them, plus a few other bits. If you’ve been looting for a while, you may have picked some up before and sold or scrapped them since they don’t craft anything on their own.
Like most things in Arc Raiders, candle holders sit in a specific item type and loot pool. That means your odds go up if you focus on the right places. If you’re hunting for them, here’s where to look.
Arc Raiders candle holder locations
Candle holders are classed as Residential items, so head to points of interest marked for Residential loot on each map. Consistently solid options include:
- Ruby Residence and Pale Apartments on Dam Battlegrounds
- Grandioso Apartments, Santa Maria Houses, and Red Tower on Buried City
- Village, Raiders Refuge, and Ruined Homestead on The Blue Gate
Loot is still RNG, so it can take a bit. Prioritize typical residential containers — cupboards, suitcases, cabinets — and scan for floor loot while you sweep through. Some players have noted they’re seeing candle holders a touch more often since the project went live, though that could simply be because folks are actually watching for them now.
