Where to find a Water Pump in Arc Raiders

Water Pumps are generally pretty useless items in Arc Raiders, since you'll either sell them for a measly 1,000 coins or scrap them for a handful of metal and oil. However, the new Weather Monitor project has given the Water Pump a new lease on life. Good for the Water Pump, but not for you, as they're not common to come by.

Below, I'll give you an idea of where you should be looking to get a Water Pump, whether you're trying to finish your weather-watching device or for anything else.

You're more likely to find Water Pumps inside Mechanical and Industrial areas, so the best places to visit are the following locations in Dam Battlegrounds and Spaceport, where you can find them loose on tables or inside containers:

Dam Battlegrounds

Power Generation Complex
Controlled Access Zone
Primary Facility
Water Treatment Control

Spaceport

Shipping Warehouse
Fuel Control
Rocket Assembly
Container Storage
Vehicle Maintenance

For example, I found one inside the red lockers in the small room off to the side of the Controlled Access Zone puzzle area, but they're also often found inside metal crates or loose on surfaces like tables, shelves, or boxes. In other words, you'll need to look thoroughly, especially as Water Pumps are small.

As mentioned, you'll need to donate a Water Pump to the fourth stage of the new Weather Monitor project, alongside some Duct Tape, Rusted Bolts, and Wasp Drivers. It's probably the only one of those items you don't have stored away in your stash or can't quickly nab from killing an Arc.

Outside of this project, Water Pumps are basically worthless. You'll only get 1,000 coins for selling them, and it's not like it's hard to get Metal Parts or Oil if you decide to recycle the Pump instead.

Rory has made the fatal error of playing way too many live service games at once, and somehow still finding time for everything in between. Sure, he’s an expert at Destiny 2, Call of Duty, and more, but at what cost? He’s even sunk 1,000 hours into The Elder Scrolls Online over the years. At least he put all those hours spent grinding challenges to good use over the years as a freelancer and guides editor. In his spare time, he’s also an avid video creator, often breaking down the environmental design of his favourite games. If you can’t track him down, he’s probably lost in a cave with a bunch of dwarves shouting “rock and stone” to no end.
