How to call a supply drop in Arc Raiders

There are a number of different supply drop locations in Arc Raiders, but to call one, you'll need to first find a call station, which is essentially a small antenna. As part of the "A Better Use" quest, you'll need to request a supply drop from a call station and then loot it. There are a number of call stations on each map, but they're a little hard to find as they won't show up on your map until you're within the vicinity of one. However, you'll know you're close by when you see a big antenna with a flashing light at the top. Here's how to call a supply drop in Arc Raiders and where you can find call stations. How to call a supply drop in Arc Raiders To call in a supply drop in Arc Raiders, you'll need to first visit a call station, which looks like tall telephone poles equipped with satellite dishes at the top. Once you find a call station, walk up to the base of the pole and interact with the box to call in a supply drop, but be careful as it will shoot a flare into the sky. Any nearby raiders who see it will know exactly where you are, not to mention the Arc enemies that may be attracted to the noise. After a short period of time, the supply drop will land nearby, and you'll have to breach it to gain access to the resources inside. Supply drops will usually contain lots of resources that will help you survive, including ammo and crafting materials. If you can't interact with your call station, unfortunately, it means someone has beaten you to it. Once a call station has been used, it cannot be used again, so if you ever spot one in the distance, hustle over to use it before anyone else. Call station and supply drop locations in Arc Raiders Call stations are a bit tricky to find because they don't spawn in the same locations every game. Instead, call stations have a chance to spawn within a small area. Your best bet is to check out a variety of locations, and look out for the tall antenna as you approach. Alternatively, you can also check your map to see if the supply call station icon appears on the map. As "A Better Use" is a fairly early quest, we've marked a few locations across Dam Battlegrounds and Buried City. Dam Battlegrounds call stations Dam Battlegrounds has a lot of call station locations, but they can be fairly spread out. As it can take a while to go from one side of the map to the other, we've marked possible call station locations on both the southern and northern sides of Dam Battlegrounds, which can be seen in the image below. If you spawn in the south, your best bet is to look southwest of Loading Bay. However, if you spawn in the north, we recommend looking around the Power Generation Complex and the area southwest of it. Buried City call stations Buried City is a bit smaller and more compact when compared to Dam Battlegrounds, so it's much easier to travel from one side of the map to the other regardless of where you spawn. The best and most consistent supply drop location we've found is by Piazza Arbusto and Plaza Rosa. The call station by Piazza Arbusto can be found just to the right of "Piazza Arbusto" on the map. Head to where the broken highway ends on the east side of the map, cross the rickety bridge, and a call station should be on the rooftop in front of you, near the tower. Alternatively, if this one doesn't show up, you can head southwest to Plaza Rosa, where one can spawn on the northeast corner of the building. Looking to become the strongest raider in the Rust Belt? Here are some of the best skills to unlock, both in the early and late-game. As you train to become stronger, don't forget to train Scrappy, your pet rooster, by giving them a dog collar, lemons and apricots, and prickly pears.
