The new Flickering Flames event is live in Arc Raiders, meaning players can experience the new Cold Snap event, complete a brand new project, and even throw some snowballs at each other! Similar to the Expedition, you’ll need to hunt for a variety of materials that you can donate, a lot of which were items you really didn’t have a ton of use until now.
One of these is the Music Album, which you’ll need two of if you want to finish the final step of the Flickering Flames project. Here is where to find this item, so you don’t waste time just running around.
Where To Find Music Albums
For locating Music Albums, you will want to stick to any location that has Residential or Commercial-focused materials. Thankfully, this narrows down our search area to a few specific areas across the five maps. These are:
Village on The Blue Gate
Of these locations, the Village on The Blue Gate is the best choice by far for locating any type of Residential or Commerical material. This is largely due to the sheer density of searchable buildings, each of which has multiple apartments inside. You will want to look in any lockers, dressers, cabinets, or suitcases, as these are where trinket-type materials are typically found.
Alternatively, Spaceport has some solid points of interest that have Commercial loot. Of the options, I’ve always been a fan of the Departure Building as it’s broken up across multiple floors, offices, and boasts a ton of desks you can usually loot. Arrival Building is also another great spot, as it shares a lot of similarities as the Departure Building.
All that being said, Buried City is probably the most well-known and consistent place that players go to hunt down trinkets. This is due to nearly the entire southern portion of the map being Residential and Commercial themed. Both the Grandioso Apartments and Plaza Rosa are obvious choices — especially the latter, since the pharmacy has a ton of dressers to loot on the second floor.

One spot a lot of folks miss is actually on the second floor of the Hospital. There is a room on the northern end with a ton of lockers. While the Hospital is exclusively Medical, these lockers often have a ton of trinkets and can be a superb spot for specifically looking for items such as the Music Album.
You’ll also want to hunt for this item in either Night Raids or the new Cold Snap event if possible. This is because these raise the rarity of objects found, making it a little more likely you’ll be able to find multiple Music Albums in a single run. Just make sure to bring an Augment, since you’ll want to store this item in your Safe Pocket to ensure it actually makes the trip so you can donate it!
