When the weather turns foul in Arc Raiders’ Pendola Pass, take a trip to a Storm Hut—they’re some of the best loot spots I’ve found
Arc Raiders’ Pendola Pass map is rich with loot opportunities, with Storm Huts emerging as some of the most valuable locations for players seeking rare items. The map features multiple loot-gathering methods, from breaking into sealed, iced rooms to accessing hard-to-reach areas using the grappling hook mechanic.
Storm Huts become available exclusively during the Flash Freeze weather condition, a special environmental hazard that randomly activates in Pendola Pass. When Flash Freeze strikes, players begin taking environmental damage, with an emergency broadcast warning of deadly temperatures and the opening of protective shelters across the map. These Storm Huts appear as map icons specifically during this weather event, making them time-limited but highly rewarding destinations.
The mechanic creates an interesting risk-reward dynamic, as players must balance the threat of taking damage from harsh weather against the opportunity to loot valuable items from Storm Huts. Flash Freeze functions similarly to the previous Cold Snap map condition, maintaining gameplay consistency while introducing new shelter-based content. Pendola Pass’ design emphasizes accessible loot wherever players explore, with Storm Hut locations representing a more focused farming opportunity during active Flash Freeze events.
