Arc Raiders quests can sometimes get pretty complicated, demanding you venture across multiple maps to complete various objectives. A Bad Feeling isn’t one of these, though, as it asks something quite simple of you: Just open an Arc Probe or Arc Courier. But where exactly will you find one of these, and what will you find inside? We’re here to answer that for you, so read on for where to find Arc Probes and Arc Couriers.
Where to find Arc Probes
You may occasionally see a fresh Arc Probe come in from the sky (keep an eye out for something that looks like a rocket coming down). These will be standing straight up once they land. However, these aren’t likely to be the probes you normally come across, as most Arc Probes are found tipped over on their sides. In either case, you can hear Arc Probes from some distance–listen for their odd bleeps and bloops emitting every few seconds.

While they’re found in randomized spots all across every map, Arc Probes are considerably more common during the Electromagnetic Storm map event. During the event, check the roof of the Testing Annex on the Dam Battlegrounds map to score at least 2-3 of them in the same spot–which is a great way to start getting your points up if you’re trying to knock out an Open Arc Probes weekly trial that may be active.
