If you’re taking part in the Flickering Flames event in ARC Raiders and can’t seem to find Empty Wine Bottles or Candle Holders, you’re not alone. You might have had lots of these before and sold them without thinking about it, only to realise later that you need them. This guide shows you the best and most reliable locations to find both items, so you can spend less time searching for them.
Empty Wine Bottle and Candle Holder Locations
Empty wine bottles and candle holders are required for the Flickering Flames event. Both empty wine bottles and candle holders are most commonly found in residential areas. Here’s where you can easily get them.
Empty Wine Bottle Locations in ARC Raiders

For empty wine bottles, the game suggests checking residential areas, and you can find a few there. You can check the Village on The Blue Gate. Look for the empty wine bottles on the cabinets, refrigerators, and dresser drawers, as these containers have a better chance of spawning empty wine bottles.

Grandioso Apartments and Plaza Rosa are also good places to search. Make sure you check every floor in each building. Most of them have multiple apartments, and many include kitchens with lootable spots.

You can also check out the Ruby Residence and Pale Apartments. When looting these places, stick to kitchen containers again, as they are the most reliable spots for empty wine bottles.

Head to the New District from the bottom-right side of the map. Clear the first building you enter. Once you reach the breach door, clear that room as well. At the end of the room, jump out and move into the next building through the windows. After you jump in, check the lockers on all three floors, then clear the rest of the building. You will find plenty of loot and empty wine bottles here.

However, the best and most reliable spot is the Library. On the Buried City map, enter the Library from the back and loot all the lockers on the ground floor. After that, go upstairs and loot the lockers there as well. You will almost always find at least one empty wine bottle this way.
Candle Holder Locations in ARC Raiders

When it comes to candle holders, the best place to look is Damn Battlegrounds. This area has some of the most commonly looted residential buildings. Focus on the Ruby Residence, the Pale Apartments, and Pattern House, as these are your best spots for finding candle holders.

Grandioso Apartments in Buried City is also a good option. It’s smaller, but there are still plenty of containers and rooms to search. Spawn near the Fail Apartments and Ruby Residence in Damn Battlegrounds, here candle holders are easy to find.

You can also search the Village on The Blue Gate. It is on the northwest side of the map and has apartment buildings. Here you will find a lot of residential loot. It is one of the easiest places to find candle holders.
