If you spend any real time in ARC Raiders chasing gear, you know the pain of sprinting into a "hot" zone and finding every crate already cracked open, every corridor stripped clean, while players with pockets full of ARC Raiders Coins sprint off to extraction with your loot. What most squads still miss, though, is how much value sits way above eye level. People hug cover, clear rooms, sweep alleys, but almost nobody looks up or plans a proper vertical route. There's one spot in the Buried City that proves this every match, and it stays untouched mainly because it's awkward as hell to reach if you're not ready.

Finding The Galleria Spire

Head deep into the Buried City and move toward the Galleria complex. Ignore the main entrances and usual firefight magnets; you're not going inside. You want the top of the primary Galleria roof. From there, tilt your camera up and you'll see a huge decorative tower sitting above the building, basically the sign for the whole place. It looks like pure set dressing and most players treat it that way. Trying to climb it using random pipes and ledges looks tempting, but it's a waste of time and usually ends with you sliding off some smooth panel while bots chew you up from below.

Why You Absolutely Need The Zipline

To make this work, you need a Zipline gadget in your loadout. No backup option, no clever workaround. If you forget it, just mark the spot on your map and come back next run; you'll only tilt yourself trying to force it. Stand on the Galleria roof directly under the spire and scan for a tiny maintenance platform near the top of the structure. It's easy to miss, looks like a scrap of metal grating, but once you see it you can't unsee it. Aim your Zipline anchor at that grating and fire. The ride up is quick, and this is where most people mess up.

Landing Without Falling To Your Death

The platform you're aiming for is ridiculously small, with no railings, no guard wires, nothing. When you hit the top of the Zipline, do not mash your movement keys or try to style it out with a jump. Just let the game place you, then tap to adjust. If you overshoot or sprint the second you land, you'll slide right off and it's a long fall. That drop will absolutely delete your health bar, and your squad will either waste time trying to rez you or loot your body while pretending they're sad. After a couple of bad falls you start to respect how sketchy that little metal square really is.

Why This Spot Is Worth The Trouble

The reason players keep coming back to that grating is simple. Up there, there's a spawn point for a military-grade weapon case that most squads never even realize exists. Because it needs a specific gadget and sits way above the usual combat lines, it's almost always untouched, turning into a quiet, repeatable farm once you get the route down. It's also not just about loot; there are missions and objectives that nudge you toward high vantage points, and knowing this climb early makes those runs way smoother. Next time you're planning a Buried City route or thinking how to stretch your ARC Raiders Coins buy value, slot the Zipline, take the risk, and claim the stash sitting over everyone else's heads.
