How to get Rubber Ducks in Arc Raiders

Rubber Ducks aren’t normal loot that can be found anywhere, as they are tied to the Bird City map modifier. The map changes during this condition, and chimneys become loot points, called Bird Nests. You can find all of the Rubber Duck types during this event in Bird Nests. While you will typically find a duck in many nests, the one you get is random, and there are no fixed spawn locations for the rare duck.

So you will need to follow this cycle:

  • Enter a raid when the Bird City map modifier is active 

  • Find chimneys on top of buildings 

  • Search the Bird Nests

  • Loot Rubber Ducks or other trinkets 

What is the Bird City map modifier?

Bird City map modifier in Arc Raiders.

The Bird City map modifier is a unique condition that affects the Buried City map. The map condition turns chimneys into spawn points for Bird Nests. You can’t find the Rubber Ducks without this modifier being active, and Buried City is the only map that is affected by this condition. 

The main changes the Bird City map modifier brings are:

  • Activate Bird Nests on chimneys 

  • Enable Rubber Duck spawns 

It's important to note that while the Bird City modifier makes Rubber Duck spawns active, it doesn’t guarantee you will find them. The loot remains random, and it's a matter of probability what you get from Bird Nests.

Where to find Rubber Ducks

Rubber Ducks have no fixed spawn points in Arc Raiders, so there are no guaranteed locations that you can go to loot them. There are, however, some ways for you to increase the efficiency of your search.

Bird Nests

Rubber Ducks can only be looted from Bird Nests, so your best bet is to search for Bird Nests on rooftops.

Keep in mind:

  • They only spawn during the Bird City condition 

  • Dense residential districts will have more rooftops and potentially more Bird Nests

  • You will likely have to search multiple Bird Nests, as not all of them will have Rubber Ducks 

  • Even if they do, the ducks may not be the type you want 

Hidden rooftop spots

Some chimneys are on rooftops that aren’t in plain view, as they may be inside courtyards or back facings. But these chimneys may also spawn Bird Nests, so it's important to look for them while searching for Rubber Ducks. 

Higher-yielding locations

Some locations have a higher potential of spawning Rubber Ducks, because of denser chimneys in the areas:

  • Town Hall 

  • Santa Maria Houses

  • Piazza Arbusto

  • Plaza Rosa

Tips for farming Rubber Ducks more effectively

These tips can help you farm Rubber Ducks more efficiently and make money.

  • Bird City: Keep an eye out for when the Bird City map condition becomes active 

  • Rooftops: Focus on rooftops, as that’s where Bird Nests will spawn

  • Residential areas: Prioritize areas with building density, as they will have more rooftops

  • Chimneys: Search all chimneys for Bird Nests, especially hidden ones 

  • Fast-paced: Don’t slow down, keep searching chimneys regardless of whether you found a rare duck or not

  • Avoid combat: This task requires you to search, and combat will eat precious time

  • Extract: Leave once you have checked all rooftops, as there is no point in staying around

Conclusion

You may want Rubber Ducks as a collectible item or want to sell them for a high value. Regardless of your intentions, finding Rubber Ducks may be challenging. While the item spawns during the Bird City map condition, you won’t be the only one searching for it, and some players may also be waiting to attack at the right moment. This is why it's important to search for Bird Nests and the correct hidden spots to make farming the ducks efficient. If you don’t have the game, you can buy the Arc Raiders Steam key from LootBar!
