ARC Raiders Quests Guide: Objectives, Rewards, and Fast Completion Tips

Quests are the backbone of progression in ARC Raiders—they push you into new areas, introduce key mechanics (repairs, scanning, sabotage, extraction), and pay out with weapons, crafting parts, keys, and useful consumables. This guide is built for quick reference: what each quest asks you to do, where it usually happens, and what you get for finishing it—without drowning you in step-by-step walkthroughs.

Use the tables to plan your raid route, then skim the quest sections only for the ones you’re actively running.

Struggling to finish ARC Raiders quests without burning time, ammo, and good gear? ImmortalBoost’s ARC Raiders Quest Services handle mission completion efficiently, so you get rewards, keys, and progression without the frustration.

This table is meant to reduce planning friction. If you’re stacking quests, group them by map landmarks (Buried City runs, Dam runs, Spaceport runs) and avoid splitting your route across distant zones in a single raid.

Early Progression and Utility Quests

Picking Up The Pieces

Loot three containers in a map area marked with a loot-category icon.
Tip: Hit a low-risk POI and leave—this quest is about safe volume looting, not fighting.

Clearer Skies

Eliminate ARCs, collect ARC Alloy, then hand it to Shani.
Tip: Prioritize smaller drone packs so you don’t burn ammo on heavy units.

Trash Into Treasure

Gather 3 Wires and 1 Battery from general loot routes.
Tip: Run industrial/utility-heavy zones where these items tend to appear.

Off The Radar

Go to a Field Depot, climb to the roof, and repair the antenna.
Tip: Clear nearby threats first—roof work makes you predictable and exposed.

A Bad Feeling

Track down an ARC Probe or ARC Courier.
Tip: Treat it like a roaming objective—listen and scan open lanes before committing.

Combat-Driven Quests (Enemies Required)

The Right Tool

Destroy three specific ARC threats: Hornet, Turret, Fireball.
Typical spots: Dam Battleground (Hornet/Fireball), Spaceport Control Tower (Turret).

Safe Passage

Destroy two turrets using Impact Grenades (plan for heavy grenade usage).
Tip: Move cover-to-cover between throws; turrets punish exposed reloads.

Sparks Fly

Defeat Hornets using a Trigger Nade or Snap Blast.
Tip: Force a predictable flight line by fighting from cover; throw explosives when they commit to an approach.

The Trifecta

Destroy a Hornet, Snitch, and Wasp, then deliver their core parts to Shani.
Tip: Don’t overcommit to a single POI—this is easier across a wider patrol route.

Out of the Shadows

Take down a Rocketeer and loot its driver.
Tip: Fight it from hard cover and commit only when you have a safe angle.

Into the Fray

Eliminate a Leaper and recover the Leaper’s pulse unit.
Tip: Don’t start this late in a raid. Leave time to loot and extract after the fight.

Keys, Repairs, and Systems Quests

Hatch Repairs

Find a Raider Hatch, repair the yellow hydraulic pipe, then inspect a broken drone nearby.
Tip: This is easiest when the area is quiet—audio cues matter while you’re interacting.

Down To Earth

Visit a Field Depot, move a Field Crate to a Supply Station, then collect the payout.
Tip: Clear the route first. Carry objectives are where most raids go sideways.

A Better Use

Locate a Call Station and trigger a supply drop.
Tip: Don’t call supplies while surrounded—treat it like a signal flare for trouble.

Mixed Signals

Stun a Surveyor using a Showstopper grenade, destroy it, then take the Surveyor Vault.
Tip: Bring the stun tool first; without it, this quest becomes a time sink.

Multi-Location and Investigation Quests

Greasing Her Palms

Visit and scout three locations:

• Water Treatment Control building
• Rocket Assembly
• Space Travel Building
  Tip: This is a route-planning quest. Hit the closest two first, then decide whether the third is safe to push.

What We Left Behind

Search across three regions in separate stops: Buried City, Dam Battleground, and Spaceport.
Tip: Don’t force all three in one run unless your extraction route is clean.

Doctor’s Orders

Collect medical and survival supplies:

• Antiseptic & Syringes (Buried City pharmacy)
• Durable Cloth (abandoned silos)
• Great Mullein head (Dam map)
  Tip: Stack this with other Buried City pharmacy quests.

Medical Merchandise

Container searches across multiple buildings:

• 2 containers in Departure Building
• 3 containers in Buried City
• 2 containers in Research Administration building
  Tip: Enter with a “loot-and-leave” mindset—containers pull you into predictable routes.

A Reveal in Ruins

Grab the ESR analyzer from a Buried City pharmacy and deliver it to Lance.

Broken Monument

Collect three items in one raid:

• Ration (Field Depot)
• Tape (Junkyard)
• Compass (rear of Scrapyard)
  Tip: Plan the route before you drop. This quest punishes improvisation.

Marked for Death

Search the Jiangsu Warehouse outskirts, locate Tian Wen’s cache, then follow the trail it reveals.
Tip: Treat it like a breadcrumb quest—secure each clue before pushing deeper.

Straight Record

At Victory Ridge, find the old EMP trap, then shut it down by disabling three power switches.

A Lay of the Land

• Find shipping notes in the foreman’s office (Jiangsu Warehouse)
• Locate scanners (upper floor of Control Tower A6)
• Deliver scanners to Shani
  Tip: This is a “two-stop then extract” quest—avoid lingering after grabbing scanners.

Market Correction

Locate the cache near Marano Station and sabotage it.

Reduced to Rubble

Take a photo of the collapsed highway, then follow the destruction trail at Broken Earth and investigate unknown ARC activity.

With a Trace

Inspect the ARC wreckage at Barren Clearing and check the communication devices.

Eyes on the Prize

On a terrace southwest of Plaza Rosa, find the yellow junction box tied to a solar panel and rewire it using Wires from inventory.
Tip: Bring wires before you load in—this quest stalls if you forget.

Exploration, Marking, and Collection Quests

Keeping the Memory

Search the wreckage at Formal Hill, recover the hidden helmet, and return it to the memorial.

Echoes of Victory Ridge

Retrieve battle plans near the broken highway at Victory Ridge and deliver them to Major AIVA’s patch.

Industrial Espionage

Bring the Burletta pistol (from Tian Wen), plant a bug on the rival weapon cache, then leave.

Unexpected Initiative

Unlocked after earlier quests.

• Retrieve fertilizer (top floor of Grandioso Apartments)
• Find a water pump in Piazza Roma (Buried City)
• Deliver both to Tian Wen

A Symbol of Unification

At Formicai Outpost, raise a flag on the overlook platform facing Red Lake.

Celeste’s Journals

Recover two journals:

• Northern Outpost
• South Swamp Outpost

Back on Top

Mark multiple landmarks across maps:

• Dam: Pattern House, white lookout tower south of Warehouse Complex
• Spaceport: South Trench Tower
• Buried City: building with a mural in Buried Properties
  Tip: Don’t fight for marks—tag quickly and rotate out.

Digging Up Dirt

Go to Santa Maria houses in Old Town, find the statue in a house, and interact.

Turnabout

At North Trench Tower, locate blackmail files and deliver them to Celeste.

Infrastructure, Power, and Environmental Quests

Eyes in the Sky

Install LiDAR scanners at:

• Top of Control Tower
• Control Communications Tower
• Galleria sign
  Tip: This is vertical and exposed. Clear the area first.

Our Presence Up There

At the Pattern House, flip the power switch, then install the antenna on the roof.

Communication Hideout

In Old Town, restore the Red Tower: install a battery in the generator and activate the Antenna Terminal.

After Rain Comes

Repair flooded solar panels near Grandioso Apartments using 5 Wires and 2 Batteries from inventory.

Power Out

Find the electrical substation, install the fuse, and restore power.

Flickering Threat

Repair the generator, then use the ventilation shaft to re-enable power routing.

Crafting, Items, and Specialty Quests

Source of the Contamination

Search the Water Treatment building, then investigate a flood spill intake near the swamp for suspicious objects.

Switching the Supply

Go under the Spaceport, locate the tunnels, and turn the valve.

A Warm Place to Rest

Follow survivor markings from the abandoned highway, then interact with the grave near Barrett Properties.

Prescriptions of the Past

In the Departure Building at Spaceport, locate the medical exam room and search records.

Bees!

Find the beehives around Olive Grove.

Espresso

Locate the espresso machine, salvage parts, and deliver to Apollo.

Life of a Pharmacist

In the south Buried City pharmacy, go to the second floor and interact with the available clues.

Tribute to Toledo

Get a Power Rod in one of two ways:

• Find rare Power Rod spawns near Exodus areas
• Recycle a Snap Hook to obtain the Power Rod
  Deliver it to Celeste.
  Tip: Recycling is usually the reliable route if you already have a Snap Hook.

Building a Library

Collect three books in Buried City—romance, adventure, detective—then extract safely.
Tip: Don’t overloot. This quest is a stealth extraction challenge more than a combat mission.

A New Type of Plant

Find the new toxic plant near a Baron husk in the old battleground and deliver it to Lance.

Armored Transports

Acquire an armored patrol keycard, locate the armored cars, unlock them, then extract.
Tip: Treat this like a high-risk loot objective—expect attention once you start opening vehicles.

Lost in Transmission

Climb the Control Tower and establish connection at the terminal.

Best Way to Use This Quest List

If you want faster progression with fewer failed raids:

• Stack quests that share a map (Buried City runs, Dam runs, Spaceport runs).
• Bring required inventory items (wires, batteries) before dropping.
• Treat multi-stage quests as route planning problems, not combat challenges.
• Extract early after you complete objectives—most quest losses happen when players get greedy afterward.
