The Buried City button puzzle is one of ARC Raiders’ biggest secrets, here’s the full solution with the exact button order and locations.
The Buried City button puzzle in ARC Raiders is a hidden multi-step secret that rewards players with access to a locked loot room filled with rare collectibles and high-value items. Unlike standard puzzles, this one spans the entire Buried City area and must be completed in a strict sequence without mistakes.
This guide explains how the puzzle works, where every button is located, and the correct order to solve it safely.
How the Buried City Button Puzzle Works
The puzzle consists of 15 buttons in total.
- Buttons 1–14 are spread across different points of interest in the Buried City
- Button 15 unlocks the secret room once all previous buttons are activated in order
Pressing a button out of sequence resets the entire puzzle, forcing you to start again from Button #1. The sequence is shared across the session, meaning multiple players can contribute, but mistakes affect everyone.

Once all 14 buttons are activated in order, head to the secret room entrance and press Button #15 to unlock the door.
Rewards From the Secret Room
Completing the puzzle grants access to a hidden loot room that can contain:
- Rare collectible items
- High-value crafting materials
- Unique cosmetic objects (including musical instruments like guitars and shakers)
Because of the puzzle’s length and risk, most players choose to extract shortly after looting.
