How to Farm Broken Guidance Systems
Broken Guidance Systems are required 1x for ARC Raiders Expedition 3 Outfitting. Farm Hydroponic Dome Complex on Dam Battlegrounds, prioritize red lockers and metal crates, and get out before the route gets crowded.
Broken Guidance Systems are a 1x Outfitting requirement for Expedition 3. They sell for 2,000 coins, but the important part is the source: this is a container item, and the best current route is much cleaner than the old “search every industrial room” approach.
Best map and POI
The current high-confidence farm is Dam Battlegrounds -> Hydroponic Dome Complex.
That route is stronger than the usual Stella Montis fallback because it is:
- easier to repeat solo
- lower pressure than more central industrial routes
- dense in the exact container types you want
Farm route
- Load Dam Battlegrounds and head straight to Hydroponic Dome Complex.
- Clear the red locker rooms inside the two larger domes first.
- Loot breachable metal crates, toolboxes, and workshop drawers on the way out.
- Extract via the nearby lift/elevator instead of stretching the run for marginal extra value.
Containers to prioritize
Broken Guidance Systems are most often tied to:
- Red standing lockers
- Breachable metal crates
- Toolboxes
- Workshop drawers
If the first pass through the domes is cold, reset into another Dam run. This page should rank because it gives a repeatable loop, not because it tells players to wander every industrial building in the game.
Solo vs squad
This is a strong solo route. The Hydroponic Dome loop is short, predictable, and easy to bail out of once you have the item or enough other Industrial loot to make the raid worthwhile.
Risks
- Moderate PvP if another team knows the same route
- Overstaying after the lockers are already checked
- Bad resets if you turn Dam into a full-map industrial sweep
Use language like consistent container density or safer route, not guaranteed-first-run.
