Where to Find the Shaker in Arc Raiders

NecroFiend

What is the Shaker?

The Shaker is a rhythmic instrument that is used to grab the attention of the ARC. It’s an uncommon gadget that plays a repeating rhythm when the fire button is held down. During the rhythm, you can’t use other weapons, gadgets, or perform actions like breaching or searching containers unless you unequip the Shaker. This limitation is similar to carrying a Field Crate.

But beyond its mechanics, the Shaker can also impress other Raiders, making it a bit of a showpiece, and it's useful in certain situations where attracting attention is key.

Where Can You Find the Shaker?

The Shaker can be found in a few specific areas across the map. As a player, you’ll likely come across it during exploration, but here are the key spots where it has been spotted:

1. Buried City – Music Puzzle Room

• The Music Puzzle Room in the Buried City is one of the main places to find the Shaker. You’ll need to solve the puzzle to gain access, which can take a bit of time and effort, but it’s a rewarding spot to grab this gadget.
  
  

2. Goalie Deck

• The Goalie Deck is another location where you can find the Shaker. If you're exploring this area, keep an eye out for containers and other lootable spots. This deck is a bit more of a high-traffic area, so expect some resistance while trying to collect your Shaker.
  
  

3. Scavenging

• In addition to these fixed locations, scavenging can also yield the Shaker. It’s a random drop, so your luck will determine whether or not you find one. Always check your surrounding area for hidden stashes when scavenging.
  
  

How Do You Use the Shaker?

Once you’ve obtained the Shaker, using it is straightforward but has some unique restrictions.

• Activating the Shaker: Hold down the fire button, and your character will start playing a rhythm. This rhythm is continuous and can’t be interrupted unless you unequip the Shaker.
  
• Limitations: While using the Shaker, you won’t be able to do anything else, such as:
  
  
  • Using weapons or gadgets
    
  • Breaching doors or containers
    
  • Searching for loot
    
    

This limitation means you need to think strategically about when and where you use the Shaker. It’s ideal in situations where you need to distract or impress ARC or other Raiders, but you should be prepared to be unable to perform other actions for a short time.

What’s the Shaker’s Repair Cost?

Like many gadgets in Arc Raiders, the Shaker can get damaged over time. Here’s what you’ll need to repair it:

• Required Materials:
  
  
  • 4 Plastic Parts
    
    
• Durability: +50
  
  

Plastic Parts are a common resource, so repairing the Shaker shouldn’t be too difficult. However, it’s good practice to always keep a stockpile of materials in case your gadgets take a hit during a mission.

Can You Recycle or Salvage the Shaker?

If you no longer need your Shaker or you want to break it down for materials, you can recycle or salvage it.

• Recycling: If you recycle the Shaker, you’ll get:
  
  
  • 10 Plastic Parts
    
    
• Salvaging: Salvaging it yields:
  
  
  • 4 Plastic Parts
    
    

Both options provide a good return on materials, especially Plastic Parts, which are useful for crafting and repairing other gear.

How to Repair and Upgrade the Shaker

Repairing the Shaker is simple enough with the right materials. Once you have the Plastic Parts, you can easily restore the gadget to its full durability. If you’re actively using the Shaker, it’s important to repair it as soon as it gets damaged so you can continue to use it in your missions.

If you want to upgrade the Shaker or buy other blueprints to enhance your gadgets, you can buy Il Toro blueprint. This is a good option if you’re aiming for better performance with your gear, especially for those more difficult raids where you’ll need all your gadgets to work flawlessly.

Final Thoughts on the Shaker

The Shaker is a fun and unique gadget that serves its purpose in specific scenarios. Whether you’re trying to impress others or simply attract the attention of the ARC, it can be a valuable tool in your arsenal. Be mindful of its limitations and always have a plan for when to use it. Whether you find it in the Buried City, on the Goalie Deck, or through scavenging, it’s a solid addition to your loot pool.
