**How to Find Cooling Fans in ARC Raiders (Expedition Project Stage 2 Guide)**
Despite there being computers everywhere, Cooling Fans remain one of the rarest and hardest-to-find items in ARC Raiders. These fans are crucial for advancing through Stage 2 of the Expedition Project, so most players will need to hunt them down sooner or later.

### Where to Find Cooling Fans
The **best location to find Cooling Fans** is the **Space Travel building** in the Buried City. This red “Loot Value High” building is located right in the middle of the map. Due to its central position and high loot value, expect this area to be highly contested, with other Raiders frequently circling it.
If you want to increase your odds, consider doing a **Night Raid**, as it generally comes with less player activity.

### Locating Cooling Fans in the Space Travel Building
Once inside the Space Travel building, keep an eye out for **old computer terminals**. While the small computers on desks can occasionally drop Cooling Fans, your best chance is with the **large computer units equipped with data reels**.
These key computer units can be found in these locations:
– **Level 3:** Southwest corner of the room
– **Level 4:** By the sand, behind the elevator
– **Level 6:** The room to the southwest, just before the breach door
– **Level 6:** Behind the elevators
If you don’t find any Cooling Fans in these spots (or they’re unsearchable), look next for the **vertical computer terminals** in other rooms. Focus on terminals that require breaching. Still nothing? Go back to searching the smaller desktop computers.

### Extraction Tips
Once you’ve secured your loot, the safest escape route is through the **northwest alleyway** between the Space Travel building and the Parking Garage. Look for the set of stairs leading down to the train station.

### Pro Tip: Secure Your Loot!
It goes without saying, but make sure you **bring a backpack with a safe loot compartment**. Toss your Cooling Fans in there as soon as you find them. Even if you get ambushed by an enemy camping near the train, you’ll still keep your hard-earned Cooling Fans.

**Good luck on your hunt, Raiders!**
