How to Farm Breathtaking Snow Globes
Breathtaking Snow Globes are required 3x for ARC Raiders Expedition 3 Outfitting. Use this Buried City route, target the right containers, and keep runs short before Flashpoint changes land.
Breathtaking Snow Globes are an Expedition 3 Outfitting requirement. You need 3 total, and each one sells for 7,000 coins, which makes them too valuable to throw away if you are still pushing the current cycle.
Best map and POIs
The strongest current route is Buried City under the Bird City map condition.
- Santa Maria Houses: your opening residential cluster.
- Top-floor sealed room west of Santa Maria Houses: the highest-confidence stop on the run.
- Plaza Rosa Pharmacy: good cleanup stop before extraction.
Community guides and the March 3 PC Gamer route line up on one simple pattern: hit the sealed room early, then clear fast residential drawers and cabinets before the run turns into a PvP hold.
Farm route
- Load Buried City when Bird City is active if possible.
- Run straight to Santa Maria Houses and clear the residential containers quickly.
- Enter the building directly west of Santa Maria Houses and loot the top-floor sealed room.
- Sweep Plaza Rosa Pharmacy, then extract at the nearest Raider Hatch east of Santa Maria.
Containers to prioritize
Snow Globes are a container loot item, not an enemy drop. Prioritize:
- Chimney nests on rooftops
- Sealed loot rooms
- Filing cabinets
- Big brown chests of drawers
- Cupboards and cabinets
If the first sealed room is cold, do not turn the raid into a full-map search. Resetting into another short route is usually faster than stretching one run too long.
Solo vs squad
This is one of the better solo farms in the current Expedition 3 set. The route is short, the containers are the main objective, and the best version of the run is in and out before other players rotate into the area.
Risks and pacing
- Rare spawn dependency: even a strong route is still a trinket hunt.
- Early contest: sealed rooms draw players who already know the route.
- Bird City variance: it helps, but do not write it as a guaranteed multiplier.
Use wording like reliable or highly consistent for this route, not guaranteed.
