**Where to Find Cooling Fans in ARC Raiders**
Despite computers being everywhere, Cooling Fans are surprisingly difficult to find in ARC Raiders. This rare item is essential for Stage 2 in the Expedition Project, so most players will eventually need to track them down. Here’s a guide to help you locate Cooling Fans as efficiently as possible.

### **Best Place to Find Cooling Fans**
The prime spot for Cooling Fans is the **Space Travel building** in the Buried City. This high-value, red loot building sits at the center of the map. Due to its location and abundance of valuable loot, it’s a popular hot zone—expect plenty of competition from other raiders. To improve your chances, consider attempting a **Night Raid** when there’s typically less player activity.

### **Searching in the Space Travel Building**
Once inside Space Travel, focus on locating old computer terminals:
– **Small desktop computers** on desks may occasionally drop Cooling Fans.
– **Your best chance**, however, is searching the **large computer units with data reels**.
Here’s where you can find key computer terminals:
– **Level 3:** Southwest corner of the room.
– **Level 4:** By the sand, just behind the elevator.
– **Level 6:** In the room to the southwest before the breach door.
– **Level 6:** Behind the elevators.
If these terminals don’t yield any Cooling Fans (or they can’t be interacted with), seek out the **vertical computer terminals** in other rooms. Prioritize those that require breaching. If these don’t provide what you need, return to searching the small desktop computers scattered throughout.

### **Escape With Your Loot**
Once you’ve secured the Cooling Fans, plan your escape route carefully. The safest way out is usually through the **northwest alleyway between Space Travel and the Parking Garage**. Look for the stairs leading down to the train station.
**Tip:** Bring a backpack with a **safe compartment**. Place your Cooling Fans inside so that, even if a sneaky player ambushes you at the extraction, you’ll still keep your hard-earned loot.

With these tips, you should have a much easier time collecting Cooling Fans for your Expedition Project. Good luck, and watch out for other raiders!
