Radial Press is an Epic crafting material in ARC Raiders. It is mainly associated with Mechanical and Industrial loot areas on Pendola Pass. You cannot craft it directly, so search likely locations and check every surface carefully.
Where to Find Radial Press
For the best chance, deploy to Pendola Pass. Location reports point strongly to Almatera Station, where most known Radial Press spawn points are concentrated. Porta Benvenuti has also been reported as a location, but Almatera Station should be your first stop.
The item appears as loose loot, not guaranteed inside a container. Check shelves, tables, counters, train-car seats, and other flat surfaces as you move through the area. It is small and easy to overlook, so avoid sprinting past rooms without scanning them closely.
Search Almatera Station First
Almatera Station is a useful place to start because it has many spawn points. Once you reach the station, enter the building and head upstairs. The second-floor room containing rows of metal shelves is a good place to search.
Move along each row and inspect every shelf. Do not check just the first few racks and leave; the item can appear in different positions, and another type of loot may occupy a spawn point in a given raid. If the station has a high-value loot zone marker, it is worth checking, although the marker does not guarantee a Radial Press.
Check Train Cars and Nearby Loot Areas
If the shelves are empty, search parked train cars around Almatera Station and the Railyard. Walk through each accessible carriage and inspect tables, seats, and ledges. Radial Press may be lying in the open, so opening containers alone is not enough.
You can also check Mechanical and Industrial areas on Pendola Pass, including the Railyard, Railroad Junction, and Loading Platforms. These locations contain relevant loot types, but individual spawns are random. Treat them as alternatives rather than guaranteed locations, and prioritize the station when you want an efficient route.
Before deploying, check whether Pendola Pass is available to you and plan a route that links the station with rail areas. Do not cross the entire map just to inspect one spawn if the route is unsafe. Listen for footsteps and gunfire, since a quiet room can become dangerous when a squad arrives. If you find valuable upgrade materials along the way, take them only if you can still move comfortably and reach an extraction point in time.
Try Storm Huts During a Raid
Storm Huts are another source of useful materials on Pendola Pass. They become available later in a raid, so check the map as the match progresses and move toward a hut when it appears. Search the shelves and floor inside before leaving.
If you are already searching train cars, gather materials early and check Storm Huts when they become available. Radial Press is not guaranteed to appear in any hut.
What Is Radial Press Used For?
The main reason to collect Radial Press is the Gunsmith upgrade. You need three Radial Presses, three Magnetic Accelerators, and one Emperor Modulator to upgrade the Gunsmith from Level III to Level IV. This upgrade supports weapon amplification, making the material important for players working toward stronger weapon builds.
Radial Press can also be used for certain furniture designs, including the Chambers Nightstand Design. It has a sale value of 3,000 Raider Coins, but keep three for the Gunsmith upgrade before selling extras.
Tips for Bringing It Back Safely
- Search Pendola Pass first, especially Almatera Station’s upper-floor shelves.
- Inspect surfaces in train cars instead of relying only on containers.
- Check the raid’s loot-zone markers before choosing your route.
- Carry a safe-pocket augment if available and secure a Radial Press as soon as you find one.
- Extract promptly once you have the material you need.
