The latest Cold Snap update in ARC Raiders introduces a fun new way to express yourself in-game with the addition of the Shaker. If you’re tired of the usual instruments like the Flute, the Shaker lets you create unique musical tunes among the icy landscapes.
Wondering how to get your hands on this quirky item? You’re in the right place! Here’s everything you need to know about finding and using the Shaker in ARC Raiders.
How to Find the Shaker in ARC Raiders
Finding the Shaker isn’t as straightforward as you might hope—it doesn’t have a specific spawn point. Instead, it randomly appears across various maps. Unlike easier-to-find items like Candleberries, you don’t need the Cold Snap modifier to track it down.
It seems to be a rare find. I stumbled upon mine inside a container on one of the floors of the Research and Administration building. I’ve highlighted its spot in the screenshot above, but be warned, it’s a hotspot, so don’t be surprised if others are also looking there!
The Research and Administration building has decent loot, which will help level up your character. Besides the Shaker, you’ll often find key items that unlock other areas across different maps. So, keep your fingers crossed—you might discover the Shaker, just like I did!
Keep in mind that the Shaker can show up in any container across the map. So, it’s wise to check every box and crate you come across!
How to Use a Shaker in ARC Raiders
While the Shaker doesn’t offer any practical advantages in gameplay, it brings a fun musical note to your journey. Access it from your emote wheel once you have it in your inventory.
- If you’re on PC, hit the Q key and then select the Shaker.
- For console players, press the LB (Xbox) or L1 (PlayStation) button and scroll to the Shaker.
Just a heads up: Playing the Shaker can attract nearby ARCs, so be ready for a potential ambush. Generally, it acts like the Flute, and it doesn’t tie into any quests.
