Look for a small radio-like console at the base of a tall, thin antenna or pole with a light on top. Supply Call Station markers may appear on your map only when you get close, so search around landmarks rather than relying on a map-wide icon. On Dam Battlegrounds, the Hydroponic Dome Complex is a guide-recommended place to start—but no location is guaranteed to have an active station in every raid.
What a Supply Call Station looks like
Scan the ground for a console or radio beside a slim antenna. Guides describe a pole with a light at the top; one also notes three downward-facing prongs. The console is the part you interact with to call the drop. See the ARC Raiders Wiki’s Supply Call Station reference and PC Gamer’s visual and location guide for descriptions.

Where to search and how the map marker works
A call station may not show as a map marker until you are nearby. Move through likely points of interest and check the map as you approach; a missing distant icon does not rule out a station nearby.

Start at Hydroponic Dome Complex
On Dam Battlegrounds, PC Gamer recommends checking the centre of the Hydroponic Dome Complex. GamesRadar+ reports at least 11 stations on Dam Battlegrounds, but that is a guide-reported count, not a promise that a station will be active or present in a particular raid. Treat the complex as a place to search, not a fixed spawn coordinate. See GamesRadar+’s Supply Drop guide for its reported count.

- ARK: Survival Ascended has completely recreated and redesigned the artwork and worlds of ARK to take advantage of the latest in videogame technology, Unreal Engine 5, using high-end graphics features such as fully dynamic Global Illumination (“Lumen”), so that light bounces realistically of off surfaces and provides realistic reflections, and advanced mesh streaming (“Nanite”) of hundreds of millions of triangles for extreme detail.
- Advanced new physics systems such as dynamic water so that every creature creates waves, ripples, splashes, and bubbles as they move through fluids, and fully interactive physical foliage where every blade of grass, bush, and tree reacts to characters, explosions, projectiles, and physics objects.
- ARK: Survival Ascended includes access to all of ARK’s worlds, including Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, ARK Genesis Part 1, ARK Genesis Part 2, and more. The Island is released now, with the subsequent expansion worlds to be added at no additional cost on a regular basis.

How to call and loot the Supply Drop
- Find the console. Approach the radio-like unit at the antenna’s base.
- Request the drop. Interact with the console and watch for the drop’s arrival.
- Reach the container and breach it. The container must be breached before you can take its contents. Other Raiders may arrive or loot it first, so calling a drop can draw competition.
- Take the loot. The community reference lists ammunition, quick-use items and weapons among the possible contents; the loot pool can change with updates. See the ARC Raiders Wiki’s Supply Drop reference.
Completing the A Better Use quest
The A Better Use objective involves both requesting a Supply Drop from a Call Station and looting that drop. Finding and activating the station alone may not complete the full objective. The PC Gamer quest list describes the objective.

The community reference for Search Supply Drops describes scoring points by searching drops called from stations and says the trial is available on maps other than Stella Montis. It suggests that the station’s white light can be easier to spot on Buried City at night. Trial rules and map availability can change, so check the active trial details in game before choosing a route. See the ARC Raiders Wiki’s Search Supply Drops reference.
