There are many items you can gather in Arc Raiders to help you survive the dangers on the surface. From weapons and shields to medicine, you’ll need to gather lots of supplies as you work through the game’s more dangerous maps, quests, and events.
One material you’ll probably overlook early on is Moss, which is only used to make Defibrillators. While this might not seem important at first, Defibrillators can really turn the tide in player-versus-player fights and are especially helpful on the latest map, Stella Montis. Here’s how to find Moss and the best spots to farm for it.
Where to Find Moss
Moss is a Nature item, meaning it can spawn in any area marked with a leaf icon. The best place to farm for Moss is the Hydroponic Dome Complex in Dam Battlegrounds. Inside this area, head to the large spherical domes and search inside them.
Focus your search on the big cylindrical shelves pictured above, as they usually contain 1 or 2 pieces of Moss. When you loot these, a small search animation will play, so make sure you’re in a safe spot first. Also, check baskets and bins because Moss can sometimes appear there too.
The best time to find Moss is during a Lush Bloom event at Dam Battlegrounds because it almost guarantees getting at least one Moss from the cylindrical containers. It’s also easier to farm during the daytime since you’re less likely to get ambushed solo, and Moss is not usually a highly prioritized item for other players.
It’s a good idea to grab Moss whenever you see it while passing through, especially if you’re playing with others. Defibrillators can revive teammates instantly and restore some health, making a big difference during chaotic PvP battles. A well-timed defib might save your whole team or help you walk away with loot.
To craft a Defibrillator, you need one Moss and nine Plastic Parts. You can only make it after upgrading your Medical Station to Level 2, and no Blueprint is needed. Moss can’t be bought, recycled, or crafted elsewhere — you have to go out and find it yourself!
