ARC Raiders: Blue Gate ALL Secret Puzzles Guide (Rare Loot & A LOT of Coins)

The Blue Gate map in ARC Raiders hides some secret puzzles, and solving them is a fantastic way to earn valuable loot and plenty of coins!

The puzzles are located throughout the game world. While none are particularly difficult on their own, they can be challenging to solve while fighting Raiders and ARCs. It’s best to learn the solutions beforehand.

In this guide, we’ll tell you how to complete every one of these puzzles with ease.

Blue Gate ALL Secret Puzzles Guide | ARC Raiders – Rare Loot and Coins

Ancient Fort Fuel Cells

To solve this puzzle, head to the Ancient Fort located in the southeast area of the map. Look for the six square-shaped ruins around the outside of the fort – these are marked by small red circles on the map. It’s helpful to have teammates assist you with this one!

Each of these ruined structures might hold a fuel cell. You need to find three of them and place them in the empty slots within the power banks located in the central tower of the fort.

Besides these ruined areas, you can also find a fuel cell inside the central tower. It’s located in the dark room immediately to your right when you go inside, as demonstrated in the video.

Now that you’ve located the fuel cells, let’s install them into the power banks inside the central tower!

Keep in mind that you can only carry one fuel cell at a time, and you won’t be able to use your weapons while you’re carrying it. That’s why we suggested asking a friend for assistance with this puzzle.

Anyway, one of the power banks is on the southeastern wall on the outside of the central tower.

You’ll find another power bank on your right as you go up the stairs to the second floor of the central tower.

Finally, you’ll find a power bank at the top of the main tower. It’s located in the dark room up there, close to a ladder.

You can also follow the black cables on the floor – they’ll guide you directly to the power banks, as they’re all connected to them.

After installing all the fuel cells, inspect the outer northwestern wall of the central tower. You should find the basement hatch open, giving you access to a hidden area where you can collect the treasure inside.

Raider’s Refuge

To find the next puzzle, head to the Raider’s Refuge. It’s located in the forest, in the northwest corner of the Blue Gate map.

When you reach the area, check the southeastern wall of the refuge. You’ll see another locked hatch there. To open it, you’ll have to locate four hidden switches scattered throughout the Raider’s Refuge.

These switches can be hard to find. Their locations change each time, and you’ll probably have to compete with other players who are trying to find them first to get the rewards.

Regardless, let’s go over the switch spawn locations we do know of:

A switch can spawn to the left of the hatch, near the refuge’s entrance.

Another can spawn on the vanity in the middle of the refuge.

You might find another switch on the northeast side of the area, sitting on top of the piles of junk outside.

A particularly tricky one can spawn behind some debris by the northwestern entrance to the refuge.

Another challenging spot to find them is behind some rubble at the southwest corner of the building.

Far less tricky than those, a switch can spawn by the terminals inside the refuge proper.

You can also find a good spot at the overhang on the northeast side of the refuge. It requires climbing to the top of the building to get there.

One more location is on the western side of the ruined attic at the top of the refuge.

Speaking of that ruined attic, you can also find a switch on the eastern side!

And potentially below the eastern side, under the attic’s floor.

You can also find a possible spawn point on the roof itself, specifically a hole in the southwest corner.

Lastly, a switch can also potentially spawn on the square-shaped ruin southeast of the refuge.

Wow, there are a lot of possible places to go! There might actually be even more, but don’t worry about that right now. Instead, press four of these switches and then go back to the hatch you saw before. You’ll find it’s now unlocked, so go ahead and explore the secret cellar and grab whatever you can find!

Defender Husks

Now, let’s tackle the Defender Husk puzzles. You’ll find two of them, and they function in a similar way. One is located to the west, near the Adorned Wreck, and the other is to the east, by the Broken Earth.

Okay, so first things first, I need to hunt around for those busted ARCs. I gotta smash ’em open and grab at least two ARC Power Cells – those are essential for what I’m doing next!

After you obtain the Power Cells, you’ll need to climb into the remains of the Defender Husk. The picture above shows an example, specifically using the eastern husk, to help you visualize it.

Once you’re inside, you’ll notice some live electrical wires. You can interact with them and insert an ARC Power Cell, but be careful – it will create a significant amount of noise!

Once you’ve placed the first Power Cell, check the rear of the husk for another area with visible wires. Steer clear of the fire pillars, and then insert a second Power Cell into that location.

Finally, you’ll need to climb to the top inside the husk. Watch the timing of the flame pillars to avoid them, then interact with the circular container you find up there.

Once you break into that container, you’ll find some rewards! It’s not the most valuable puzzle in this guide, but it’s quick and easy to complete.

Reinforced Reception Terminals

Now, let’s head to the tunnels located in the northeastern section of the Blue Gate map. Specifically, you’ll want to enter the Reinforced Reception area. Once inside, use the ziplines to descend underground.

Once you go underground, turn left. You’ll notice colored markings on the wall, but more importantly, you’ll find a terminal you can interact with.

Use the terminal and give it a moment. After a few seconds, the screen will change to display either red, blue, or yellow. In this case, it’s showing yellow.

The colors correspond to the patterns on the building’s walls and floor. These colors indicate which patterns you need to follow to solve the puzzle.

In this case, following the example, we have to follow the yellow arrows painted on the walls.

You’ll soon find another computer you can use, and it will have a colored X symbol nearby. Remember, X usually shows where to find something valuable! Use this computer to complete the puzzle and get your reward.

Reinforced Reception Fuel Cells

The terminals aren’t the only challenge in the Reinforced Reception! You’ll also find a puzzle with fuel cells, which works a lot like the one you encountered at the Ancient Fort.

You’ll find charged power banks with fuel cells in the Reinforced Reception area. Each one holds three, and you need to collect all of them.

Like the puzzle in Raider’s Refuge, it looks like the charged power banks appear in random spots. Here are the locations we’ve found so far:

One would be right below the stairs with the L and R colored signs.

To find another location, enter the room marked with the ‘L’ and ‘R’ signs. The fuel cells should be inside, close to one of the containers you can break open.

You can also find the location upstairs. Look for the red ‘L’ sign – it will be directly ahead and a little to the right as you walk up the stairs.

You might also find them directly under the yellow arrow signs. Just follow the arrows to locate them.

To deliver the fuel cells, simply follow the blue line painted on the ground. It will lead you to a large white steel gate with an empty power bank nearby.

Okay, so the task is pretty simple: I just need to carefully move all three fuel cells from the full power bank to the empty one. The tricky part is I’m super exposed while I’m carrying them, so I really need to make sure the coast is clear – no enemies or those ARCs anywhere nearby before I start!

After installing all the fuel cells, simply use the panel on your left. It will open the steel gate, leading into a large room bathed in a creepy red glow – and filled with treasure!

East Tunnel Terminals

Finally, there’s one more puzzle with colored terminals. You’ll find it on the east side of the underground area, at the location marked on the map.

Head up to the second floor of that area – you’ll find another terminal you can interact with. Like the previous puzzle, activate the terminal and wait for it to display a color. Then, simply follow the matching colored markings on the walls and floor.

Just like last time, keep following the colored markings – they’ll guide you to a computer you can search for loot. It’ll have a colored ‘X’ on it, Raider!

That’s everything you need to know to solve the hidden puzzles on the Blue Gate map in ARC Raiders. Completing them will reward you with tons of loot and coins, and could make you one of the wealthiest players!
