Arc Raiders Quest Guide – All 64 Missions and Best Quests

Arc Raiders Quest Guide

Our Arc Raiders Quest Guide is designed to walk you through all 64 quests available in the game, from the very first introductory missions to the most demanding late-game tasks. Each mission comes with different objectives, locations, and difficulty levels, and this guide explains exactly what you need to do for every single one. Here, you’ll find a clear Arc Raiders quest walkthrough for each mission: what is required, where to complete it, and how to finish it in the most efficient and time-saving way possible.

 

 

Arc Raiders Quests – Key Takeaways

• 64 total quests from five different NPCs
  All main quests in Arc Raiders are given by five quest-giver NPCs, each representing a different part of the game’s progression, story, and mechanics.
• Some quests require specific tools or items
  You’ll need special tools like Burlettas, EMPs, keys, and other mission-critical items to complete certain objectives, especially in mid and late-game quests.
• Quest difficulty increases over time
  Early quests focus on simple tasks and basic mechanics, while later missions become more complex, combining multiple objectives, larger areas, and more dangerous enemies.
• Quest chains build on previous missions
  Several quests are linked together in chains, requiring you to use items, knowledge, or progress from earlier missions to unlock or complete new ones.

How Arc Raiders Quests Work

Arc Raiders quests are the core of your progression. They teach you how the game works, introduce you to new mechanics, and reward you with gear, crafting materials, currency, and other valuable resources. Each quest is framed as a mission from one of the NPCs, and together they guide you across different zones, enemy types, and gameplay systems.

During these missions, you’ll take part in scavenging, repairing structures and devices, and fighting ARC units. Some quests are straightforward “go there and do this” tasks, while others require you to secure an item and extract safely without dying, turning the mission into a high-risk, high-reward run.

As you progress deeper into the questlines, missions begin to chain across multiple areas and raids. You may be asked to gather specific parts, destroy powerful ARC machines, or complete several objectives in a single run. Understanding how quests connect and planning your route in advance becomes crucial if you want to finish them quickly, avoid unnecessary deaths, and get the most value from every Arc Raiders mission.

Arc Raiders Quest List

There are currently 64 quests in Arc Raiders, and below you can find the complete list of every mission available in the game. If a quest is not appearing for you, make sure you’ve completed all the earlier missions in its chain. Many Arc Raiders quests are progression-based, meaning that new tasks only unlock once you’ve finished the previous steps offered by the same NPC.

Some missions also require you to reach certain milestones, visit specific locations, or progress the story before they show up. If you’re missing a quest, double-check your current objectives, talk to all available NPCs, and revisit the hub areas to refresh the quest list.

Best Arc Raiders Quests

While it’s worth completing every Arc Raiders quest as it becomes available, some missions are noticeably more rewarding, more efficient, or simply more important for your overall progression. In this section, we’ve highlighted the best Arc Raiders quests that stand out at different stages of the game — from your very first runs to the point where you’re comfortable taking on tougher challenges.

Some quests are designed to teach you the fundamentals of the game, others require you to master more advanced mechanics like extraction, resource management, or positioning, and the very best ones give you valuable rewards that make future raids smoother and more profitable.

Arc Raiders Best Early Game Quests

The best early game Arc Raiders quests are simple, direct, and extremely efficient for new players. They introduce you to core systems such as combat, scavenging, and navigating the map, while also giving you early gear and resources that make later missions less punishing. By prioritizing these quests first, you’ll build a solid foundation before tackling more complex chains.

Some of the strongest early-game quests include:

• Picking Up the Pieces – Loot three containers to receive a Rattler III and ammo, giving you a reliable early weapon that makes your first real fights much easier.
• Clearer Skies – Eliminate 3 ARC enemies and collect ARC Alloys, helping you get comfortable with basic combat while also gathering materials for crafting and upgrades.
• Trash Into Treasure – Gather wires and a battery, introducing you to scavenging and teaching you how to spot and prioritize useful components in the environment.
• A Bad Feeling – Find and search ARC Probes or Couriers, encouraging exploration and awareness of the battlefield as you track down specific targets.
• Off the Radar – Repair an antenna at a Field Depot, which shows you how objective-based tasks work and how important it is to manage risks while performing repairs under pressure.

These early Arc Raiders quests are quick to complete, easy to understand, and perfectly suited for players who are still learning how raids flow. By clearing them early, you’ll secure better gear, extra resources, and a much smoother start, putting you in a great position for the more demanding quests that follow later in the game.

Arc Raiders Best Middle Game Quests

The best Arc Raiders middle game quests become noticeably more complex and demanding than early missions. At this stage, you’ll often need to complete multiple objectives in a single run, move across several zones, and deal with stronger ARC enemies. In return, these quests provide better rewards, including higher-quality gear, crafting components, and blueprints that prepare you for the most difficult late-game encounters.

If you want to progress efficiently through the mid-game, focus on the following standout quests:

• Into the Fray – Kill a Leaper and obtain a Pulse Unit. This mission helps you practice dealing with more dangerous enemies and rewards you with valuable components for crafting and upgrades.
• Eyes in the Sky – Place LiDAR scanners in three areas. This quest trains your ability to move carefully across the map while staying aware of enemy patrols and extraction routes.
• A Balanced Harvest – Search Lab 1 in Dam Battlegrounds. You’ll explore a more complex location, learn its layout, and gain access to useful loot and resources.
• Back on Top – Spray paint walls in different locations. While it sounds simple, this quest forces you to traverse multiple areas, plan a safe route, and manage your time efficiently.
• Greasing Her Palms – Gather intel and items across three areas, pushing you to juggle several objectives at once and rewarding you with great mid-game resources.

These mid-game Arc Raiders quests are excellent for learning how to handle multi-step missions, navigate dangerous zones, and manage your inventory and extraction timing. Completing them consistently gives you the resources and knowledge you need to transition smoothly into the late-game phase.

Arc Raiders Best Late Game Quests

The best Arc Raiders late-game quests are where the real challenge begins. These missions often require careful planning, map knowledge, and solid gear, as they send you into high-risk areas with demanding objectives. In exchange, they provide rare loot, advanced blueprints, and top-tier materials that are essential if you want to fully optimize your character and builds.

Some of the most important late-game quests to prioritize include:

• The Trifecta – Kill Wasp, Hornet, and Snitch, then collect their parts. This quest pits you against multiple dangerous ARC enemies and rewards you with highly valuable components once you succeed.
• Unexpected Initiative – Gather Fertilizer and a Water Pump across rooftops, encouraging smart movement, vertical navigation, and awareness of enemy lines of sight.
• Straight Record – Disable three EMP traps and generators. This mission trains your ability to deal with traps and environmental hazards while staying alive under pressure.
• Our Presence Up There – Complete power installation and antenna activation, combining technical objectives with the need to defend yourself in exposed locations.
• Medical Merchandise – Loot medical containers in three areas, sending you into contested spots where other players and ARCs are likely to be hunting for the same rewards.

Clearing these late-game Arc Raiders quests will unlock access to top-tier gear, rare resources, and high-value blueprints that dramatically improve your raid performance. By focusing on them once you’re properly geared and experienced, you’ll be able to tackle the toughest content in the game, refine your builds, and truly unlock the full potential of your character.

Arc Raiders Quests Walkthrough

In this part of our Arc Raiders Quest Guide, you’ll find detailed Arc Raiders quest walkthroughs for every mission in the game. Use the navigation or side panel on the right-hand side to quickly jump to the specific quest you’re interested in, whether you’re stuck on an objective or just planning an efficient route through the questlines.

If you complete the missions in the order listed below, you should be able to progress smoothly through all 64 quests with minimal backtracking. However, if a quest doesn’t appear in your log, double-check that you’ve finished all previous missions from the same NPC. Many Arc Raiders quests are locked behind earlier steps in a chain, so missing one prerequisite can temporarily block the next quest.

Picking Up the Pieces

Quest Giver: Shani

In Picking Up the Pieces, your goal is to loot three containers in any of the following locations: Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, or Buried City. This is one of the simplest quests in Arc Raiders and is designed to introduce you to basic scavenging.

Open any loot containers you come across in these zones — you don’t need specific types, and each opened container that gives loot will count toward your quest progress. Focus on moving through safe areas, looting as you go, and extracting if things get risky, as dying with a full backpack is never worth it.

Rewards: Rattler III and 80 Medium Ammo.
These rewards give you a solid early-game weapon and enough ammo to comfortably handle your next few quests.

Clearer Skies

Quest Giver: Shani

Your second mission from Shani, Clearer Skies, requires you to complete two related objectives:

• Destroy 3 ARC enemies
• Collect 3 ARC Alloys

ARC Alloys have a chance to drop from defeated ARC enemies, so the most efficient way to complete this quest is simply to hunt down ARC units until you’ve collected enough alloys to satisfy the requirement. Focus on smaller groups first so you don’t get overwhelmed, and loot every enemy you take down to avoid missing potential drops.

This quest is a great introduction to basic combat and resource farming in Arc Raiders, helping you get comfortable fighting ARCs while building up useful materials.

Rewards:

• 1× Backpack Cosmetic (Black – Hiker Color)
• 3× Sterilized Bandage
• 1× Light Shield

These rewards improve both your survivability and your style, giving you extra healing options and a cosmetic backpack to customize your Raider.

Trash into Treasure

Quest Giver: Shani

In Trash into Treasure, Shani sends you out to collect 6 wires and 1 battery. These items are commonly found in Electrical and Technological areas, making this quest a good way to learn how to recognize useful loot locations on the map.

Look for areas marked with a lightning icon on your map — these indicate the right type of zone to search. While wires and batteries are fairly abundant and can be found in many locations, prioritizing these icon-marked spots will speed up completion and reduce the number of risky runs you need to make.

As you loot, keep an eye on your backpack space and avoid picking up too much junk; focus on quest items and valuable materials to make each trip efficient.

Rewards:

• 1× Tactical Mk. 1
• 3× Adrenaline Shot

You’ll get a useful tactical item and a few Adrenaline Shots to help you reposition quickly or escape dangerous situations in later quests.

A Bad Feeling

Quest Giver: Celeste

A Bad Feeling is one of Celeste’s early quests and sends you searching for ARC Probes or ARC Couriers. Your objective is simple: find and search any ARC Probe or ARC Courier on the map.

ARC Probes are usually easier to track because they emit a distinct beeping sound, helping you locate them even if they’re not immediately visible. Listen carefully as you move through the area and follow the sound to pinpoint their position. Both Probes and Couriers can spawn in multiple locations, so stay mobile and sweep through high-activity zones until you spot one.

This quest helps you practice audio-based tracking and environmental awareness, key skills for spotting threats, resources, and objectives later on.

Rewards:

• 10× Metal Parts
• 5× Steel Spring
• 5× Duct Tape

These crafting materials are extremely useful early on, letting you start building and upgrading gear, and giving you a stronger foundation for the rest of your Arc Raiders quest progression.

Off the Radar

Quest Giver: Shani

In the Off the Radar Arc Raiders quest, Shani once again sends you into the field, this time to restore communications by fixing a damaged antenna. Your objective is to find a Field Depot and repair the antenna on its roof. Field Depots are small military-style outposts scattered across the map, often guarded or located near active patrol routes.

Some of the easiest Field Depots to locate are:

• East of the Power Generation Complex
• South of the Hydroponic Dome Complex

However, you’re not limited to these two — Field Depots appear in many locations across the map, so if you don’t spot them in those areas, keep exploring nearby roads, military structures, and small encampments. Once you find one, climb onto the roof, look for the broken antenna, and interact with it to perform the repair. Be ready to defend yourself, as fixing the antenna can leave you exposed to ARC enemies or other players.

Rewards: 2× Defibrillator
These give you a reliable way to revive teammates or recover from dangerous encounters, making them extremely useful for future Arc Raiders quests and co-op runs.

The Right Tool

Quest Giver: Tian Wen

The Right Tool is your first quest from Tian Wen, and it immediately raises the difficulty compared to earlier tasks. Instead of generic enemy kills, you must destroy three specific types of ARC units:

• Fireball
• Hornet
• Turret

The best place to hunt for Fireballs and Turrets is inside Research and Administration zones, where ARC defenses are more concentrated and varied. These areas often feature stationary defenses and tougher patrols, so move carefully and use cover whenever possible.

Hornets, on the other hand, are flying enemies that can show up across many parts of the map. Keep an eye on the skies as you travel and listen for their distinct audio cues to locate them quickly.

This quest teaches you to recognize and prioritize enemy types, an important skill when you start targeting specific ARC units for later missions and farming routes.

Rewards: Cheer Emote, 1× Stitcher II, 1× Extended Light Mag I
You’ll get a cosmetic Cheer Emote for style, a solid Stitcher II weapon, and an Extended Light Mag to improve your ammo capacity, all of which make combat more comfortable and efficient.

Safe Passage

Quest Giver: Apollo

In Safe Passage, Apollo tasks you with using explosives to clear the way. To complete this Arc Raiders quest, you must destroy two ARC enemies with any type of explosive grenade. This mission is less about raw damage and more about learning how to use grenades effectively in real combat scenarios.

The recommended option here is the Light Explosive Grenade, which is strong enough to:

• One-shot Pop ARCs
• Hit grouped enemies when aimed correctly

Pop ARCs are ideal targets because they move slowly, have predictable patterns, and are easy to hit with thrown explosives. Lure them into open areas, throw your grenade at their feet or just ahead of them, and watch them pop. Try not to overcommit to risky positions just for a grenade kill — you only need two successful eliminations to finish the quest.

Rewards:

• 5× Li’l Smoke Grenade
• 3× Shrapnel Grenade
• 3× Barricade Kit

These rewards give you a strong utility package: smokes for disengaging or repositioning, shrapnel grenades for extra damage, and barricade kits for improvised cover in tough fights or during extraction.

Hatch Repairs

Quest Giver: Shani

In Hatch Repairs, Shani sends you to secure and stabilize one of the Raider Hatches. Your goal is twofold:

1. Repair the leaking hydraulic pipes near a Raider Hatch
2. Find the Hatch Key nearby

When you arrive at the Raider Hatch, look around the structure for leaking pipes and a repair valve. The valve you need to interact with is located on the side of the Hatch itself, making it fairly easy to identify once you get close. Interact with it to stop the hydraulic leak and complete the repair step.

Next, you’ll need to search for the Hatch Key. The key is usually found very close to the Hatch, often lying on the ground or near nearby containers and props. Take a careful lap around the area, checking the immediate surroundings so you don’t miss it.

This quest helps you get familiar with interactable objects and key items in Arc Raiders, both of which are crucial for more complex missions later on.

Rewards: 1× Raider Hatch Key, 1× Binoculars
The Raider Hatch Key is a valuable tool for future content, and the Binoculars make scouting much easier, letting you plan safer routes and avoid walking blindly into ARC patrols or hostile squads.

A Better Use

Quest Giver: Tian Wen

In the A Better Use Arc Raiders quest, Tian Wen sends you to interact with one of the game’s key support mechanics: the Supply Drop system. Your objective is to request a Supply Drop from a Call Station and then loot it. This quest teaches you how to safely call in and secure high-value supplies during raids.

A Call Station is a slim metal structure that looks like a thin pipe with several smaller pipes branching out at the top. They can be tricky to spot at first because they blend into the environment, but they appear all over the map. Make a habit of scanning rooftops, open compounds, and strategic choke points for these devices.

Once you find a Call Station, interact with it to request a Supply Drop, then watch the sky and locate the incoming crate as it lands. Move carefully, as the sound and flare can attract ARCs and other players. After the drop lands, loot the crate to complete the objective.

Rewards:

• Extended Light Magazine I
• Compensator I
• Stable Stock I

These attachments significantly boost your weapon handling and stability, making your guns feel more reliable and effective in future fights.

What Goes Around

Quest Giver: Apollo

In What Goes Around, Apollo once again focuses on creative combat. Your mission is to destroy an ARC enemy using a Fireball Burner. This objective is similar in spirit to Safe Passage, but instead of grenades, you’re now learning how to work with area-denial and damage-over-time tools.

The best targets for this quest are Pop ARCs, as they are slow, predictable, and easy to hit. They don’t move around much, which makes it simple to apply Fireball Burner damage until they are destroyed. In most cases, it only takes 1–2 uses of the Fireball Burner to finish them off.

Try to position yourself at a safe distance, ignite the area around the Pop ARC, and avoid getting swarmed by other enemies while you focus on your target. This quest is ideal for practicing controlled engagements and learning how to use special weapons for precise objectives.

Rewards:

• 3× Blaze Grenade
• 2× Noisemaker
• 5× Blue Light Stick

These tools expand your tactical options, allowing you to deal area damage, create distractions, and mark or illuminate areas as needed.

Down to Earth

Quest Giver: Shani

In Down to Earth, Shani tasks you with performing a field delivery operation. Your objective is to find a Field Crate, carry it to a Field Depot, and collect your reward — all within a single raid.

Field Crates usually spawn close to Field Depots, which makes them relatively easy to locate. When you find a Field Depot, scan the surroundings in roughly a 50-meter radius for a crate. It will be a large, carryable box that you must pick up and transport.

Once you’re carrying the crate, you’ll notice a major drawback: it occupies both of your hands, meaning you can’t use weapons while transporting it. This makes you extremely vulnerable to ARC attacks and other players. Because of that, you should:

• Clear nearby enemies before picking up the crate
• Plan a safe route to the Field Depot
• Move quickly and avoid open areas

After successfully delivering the crate and interacting with the Depot, the quest will complete and you can claim your reward.

Rewards:

• Combat Mk. 1
• Medium Shield

These rewards give you a solid combat weapon and additional protection, making your character more durable for the tougher quests ahead.

Sparks Fly

Quest Giver: Apollo

Sparks Fly is another high-impact tactical quest from Apollo. Your task is to destroy a Hornet using either a Trigger’Nade or a Snap Blast. While both tools work, the Trigger’Nade is generally the easier and more reliable option.

Hornets are flying enemies that often hover or patrol above open spaces. Hitting them can be tricky if they keep their distance, so you should use cover to your advantage. Peek in and out of cover to bait the Hornet into flying closer, then throw the Trigger’Nade when it enters an ideal range. A well-placed Trigger’Nade usually takes down a Hornet in a single hit, so you shouldn’t need many attempts.

This mission trains you to time your throws, lead your targets, and use terrain intelligently, all of which are vital skills in mid and late-game fights.

Rewards:

• 4× Crude Explosives
• 2× Processor
• Trigger ’Nade Blueprint

The blueprint unlocks access to the Trigger’Nade for future crafting, giving you a powerful and reusable tool for taking down tougher enemies and completing similar objectives.

The Trifecta

Quest Giver: Shani

The Trifecta is a multi-step Arc Raiders quest from Shani that pushes you to hunt down some of the most iconic flying ARCs in the game. Your objective is to:

• Destroy a Wasp and obtain a Wasp Driver
• Destroy a Hornet and obtain a Hornet Driver
• Destroy a Snitch and obtain a Snitch Scanner

These enemy types are commonly found across all areas of the map, so you won’t struggle to encounter them, but you may need a few runs to collect all required drops. Make sure you’re equipped with accurate weapons or solid explosives to bring them down quickly before they overwhelm you or force you into bad positions.

This quest is excellent for mastering anti-air combat, target prioritization, and resource collection. You’ll also become more familiar with spawn patterns and patrol behavior for high-value ARC targets.

Rewards:

• Skin Orange Camo (Origin Colour)
• 1× Raider Hatch Key
• 2× Defibrillator
• 1× Dam Control Tower Key

These rewards not only give you cosmetic customization but also important utility keys and revival tools, opening up more areas to explore and strengthening your team support options for future Arc Raiders quests.

Greasing Her Palms

Quest Giver: Celeste

In the Greasing Her Palms Arc Raiders quest, Celeste sends you on a multi-location assignment that has you visiting three specific points of interest across the map. This mission is all about exploration and navigation, so make sure you’re prepared for a bit of travel and potential encounters along the way.

You must visit the following locations:

• The Locked Room inside the Water Treatment Control Building in Dam Battlegrounds
• The rocket thrusters outside the Rocket Assembly area at the Spaceport
• The barricaded area on Floor 6 of the Space Travel Building in Buried City

When you accept the quest, you automatically receive the key for the Locked Room, so you do not need to search for it in the environment. Simply head to the Water Treatment Control Building, locate the locked door, and use the key to gain access.

For the barricaded area on Floor 6 in the Buried City, you don’t actually need to break the barricade yourself. If another squad has already breached it, you only have to walk through the opened path for the quest objective to count as completed. This makes it worth checking busy areas, as other players might unintentionally help you progress.

This quest is perfect for players who want to learn map layouts and key structures while progressing Celeste’s questline.

Rewards:

• Granted: Dam Surveillance Key
• Lure Grenade Blueprint
• Speaker Component
• Electrical Components

These rewards unlock new tactical tools and crafting options, especially the Lure Grenade Blueprint, which is extremely useful for manipulating ARC positions and setting up plays.

Dormant Barons

Quest Giver: Shani

The Dormant Barons quest from Shani is simple but very thematic. Your only task is to loot a Baron Husk in Dam Battlegrounds. Baron Husks are the large, inactive ARC remains scattered across the area, and they stand out thanks to their massive size.

Head to Dam Battlegrounds and look for one of these huge mechanical husks. To loot a Baron Husk, you must climb on top of it until you see the loot prompt appear. Interact with it to collect the required items and complete the quest.

There’s usually little complexity here—just make sure the area is relatively safe before climbing up so you don’t get shot off by enemies mid-loot.

Rewards:

• 3× Door Blocker
• 3× Li’l Smoke Grenade

These rewards give you extra defensive tools and utility, letting you secure doors, block entryways, and cover your movements with smoke in future missions.

Doctor’s Orders

Quest Giver: Lance

In Doctor’s Orders, Lance needs you to gather a set of medical and crafting items. This Arc Raiders quest leans heavily into scavenging and smart looting, pushing you to visit medical locations and recognize key resources.

You must collect:

• 1× Syringe
• 2× Antiseptic
• 1× Durable Cloth
• 1× Great Mullein

Here’s where to look:

• Syringe & Antiseptic – These are commonly found in medical locations, such as the Hospital in Buried City and other clinic-style buildings. Check medical cabinets, shelves, and supply boxes.
• Durable Cloth – This material tends to spawn almost anywhere, especially in residential, commercial, or storage areas. While running your medical farm route, you’ll often find some naturally.
• Great Mullein – This is a plant resource that can be found on the second floor of Galleria. Look around plant pots, balcony edges, or decorative greenery to spot and harvest it.

Plan a route that hits a major medical location and then swings through Galleria so you can pick up everything in one or two efficient runs. This quest helps you get comfortable with resource farming for healing and defensive items, which is vital for longer, riskier raids.

Rewards:

• 3× Adrenaline Shot
• 3× Sterilized Bandage
• 1× Surge Shield Recharger

These rewards significantly improve your survivability, giving you strong healing and a way to recharge your shield, which is especially useful for tougher mid- and late-game Arc Raiders quests.

Mixed Signals

Quest Giver: Shani

In the Mixed Signals Arc Raiders quest, Shani asks you to track down and destroy an ARC Surveyor to obtain 1 Surveyor Vault. Surveyors are heavily armored reconnaissance units, making this one of the more demanding early–mid game encounters.

Surveyors are covered in thick armor plating, which makes them tough to break with light weapons. As soon as you engage, the Surveyor will try to flee, combining high durability with mobility. Because of that, you need to burst it down quickly before it escapes or drags you into a bad position.

To make the fight easier:

• Bring a weapon that uses Heavy Ammo for maximum armor damage.
• Use a Showstopper grenade if you have one – it stuns the Surveyor in place, giving you a short window to shred its armor and finish it off.
• Try to fight in open terrain where you have a clear line of sight and room to chase if needed.

Finding a Surveyor ARC can be the hardest part of the quest, as they do not spawn very often. Look for blue beams shooting into the sky, which mark their activity and can be seen from very far away. Move toward the beam, scout carefully, and be ready for a quick, high-damage engagement.

Rewards: Photoelectric Cloak, Raider Hatch Key
The Photoelectric Cloak improves your stealth and survivability, while the Raider Hatch Key opens up more progression options tied to hatches later in your Arc Raiders journey.

What We Left Behind

Quest Giver: Tian Wen

The What We Left Behind Arc Raiders quest from Tian Wen takes you on a multi-location story run, asking you to track down notes and containers spread across several key areas. This mission is perfect for players who want to explore the world while progressing their gear.

You’ll need to visit three locations:

1. Buried City – Parking Garage

• Head to the Parking Garage in Buried City.
• On the bottom floor, look for a locked door that can be breached. Once inside, loot any two containers. They don’t need to be specific ones – as long as they’re interactable and yield loot, they will count toward the quest.

1. Dam Battlegrounds – South of South Swamp Outpost

• Travel to Dam Battlegrounds and move south-west of the South Swamp Outpost.
• Look for a tower-like structure in the area and pick up the notes inside. Take your time and clear nearby enemies so you don’t get ambushed while searching.

1. Spaceport – Bilguun’s Hideout

• Go to the Spaceport, then reach the Container Storage Rooftop. From there, you can spot Bilguun’s Hideout, which is easily recognizable thanks to the yellow tarp covering it.
• Make your way to the hideout and collect the notes inside to complete the final step of the quest.

This mission emphasizes navigation, awareness, and safe looting across multiple zones, so plan a sensible route and avoid over-committing to fights you don’t need.

Rewards: Muzzle Brake II, Vertical Grip II, Stable Stock II
These weapon attachments dramatically improve recoil, control, and handling, giving you a noticeable power spike for upcoming Arc Raiders quests.

A First Foothold

Quest Giver: Apollo

A First Foothold is a four-step quest from Apollo, and all of its objectives take place in Blue Gate. The mission focuses on stabilizing key positions and infrastructure, helping you become familiar with the region’s landmarks.

Here’s the full route:

1. Terminal South-West of Olive Grove

• Travel south-west from the Olive Grove in Blue Gate.
• Look for a Terminal and interact with it to complete the first objective. This step introduces you to key tech points you’ll see in other missions.

1. Ridgeline Deck-Platform

• Head to the Ridgeline, where you’ll find a deck-platform with a prompt to stabilize it.
• Interact with the platform to secure it, finishing the second part of the quest.

1. Abandoned Shack Near Trapper’s Glade

• Move slightly south of Trapper’s Glade and locate an abandoned shack.
• Climb onto the roof and interact with the prompt to nail down the roof, completing the third step.

1. Abandoned Church North-West of Data Vault

• Finally, travel north-west of the Data Vault to find an abandoned church with a Satellite on top.
• Climb up or find access to the roof, then interact with the Satellite Dishes to finish the quest.

This mission is all about map familiarity and environmental interaction, making Blue Gate feel like a real, lived-in location rather than just a combat zone.

Rewards: 3× Shrapnel Grenade, 3× Snap Blast Grenade, 3× Heavy Fuze Grenade
You’re rewarded with a powerful set of explosives, giving you great offensive tools for tougher enemies and future objective-based Arc Raiders quests.

Broken Monument

Quest Giver: Tian Wen

In Broken Monument, Tian Wen challenges you to collect three specific items in a single round, all located in the Scrap Yard. Because everything must be brought back in one go, the main difficulty is surviving long enough to extract safely.

Items to find:

• Compass
• Video Tape
• Old Field Rations

Where to look:

• Video Tape – Found in the middle of the Scrap Yard, near large pipes. It’s one of the easier items to spot once you know the central area.
• Compass – Located in a car graveyard filled with multiple vehicles. Check seats, dashboards, and nearby crates around this cluster of wrecked cars.
• Old Field Rations – Found in a large container north of where you picked up the Compass. Look inside containers and storage units directly north of the car graveyard.

A critical detail: picking up the items is not enough. You must extract and deliver them back to Tian Wen for the quest to complete. If you die, you lose the items and will need to start over from scratch. Clear enemies methodically, avoid unnecessary fights, and don’t get greedy once you have all three.

Rewards: Arpeggio I, Compensator II, 80× Medium Ammo
The rewards give you another weapon upgrade, a solid Compensator for improved recoil control, and a large stack of ammo to sustain your next series of raids.

Straight Record

Quest Giver: Celeste

Straight Record is a multi-step Arc Raiders quest from Celeste that takes place in the north-west part of Dam Battlegrounds, specifically around Victory Ridge. It focuses on investigating and disabling a dangerous EMP setup.

Your objectives:

1. Investigate the EMP Trap

• Head to Victory Ridge in the north-west part of Dam Battlegrounds.
• Look for an EMP trap that resembles a small metal tower. Interact with it to investigate and log its presence.

1. Find and Inspect Three Generators
   From the EMP trap, you’ll need to locate three generators in the surrounding area:

   • First generator: slightly north of the EMP trap.

   • Second generator: on top of ruined buildings to the left (west). Climb the rubble or use elevated paths to reach it.

   • Third generator: located to the south of the EMP trap.

   Move cautiously between these points; the area can be heavily contested by ARC enemies and sometimes other players.

2. Disable the EMP Trap

• Once all three generators have been investigated, return to the EMP trap.
• Interact with it again to shut it down for good, completing the quest.

Straight Record is a great example of a mission that mixes investigation, navigation, and objective-based gameplay, teaching you how to work around environmental hazards that can affect your equipment and positioning.

Rewards: 5× Medium Gun Parts, 3× Advanced Mechanical Components
These high-quality components are extremely valuable for weapon crafting and upgrades, giving you a strong boost in power as you move into more challenging Arc Raiders content.

Marked for Death

Quest Giver: Tian Wen

In the Marked for Death Arc Raiders quest, Tian Wen sends you into the north-west of Buried City to investigate suspicious activity near the Su Durante Warehouses. This is a short but atmospheric mission focused on tracking and investigation rather than combat.

Once you arrive at the Su Durante Warehouses, look along the outer walls of one of the warehouses. You’ll spot a metal box on the ground with a prompt allowing you to investigate it. Beneath the cache, you’ll notice footprints in the dirt, which are the key to progressing the quest.

Follow these footprints just a few meters away from the original cache location. They lead to another interactable object — once you investigate that second point of interest, the quest will be completed. There’s no need to travel far or search multiple buildings; the entire sequence plays out in a compact area around the warehouses.

Rewards:

• Shotgun Choke II
• Angled Grip II

These attachments greatly enhance your shotgun accuracy and weapon control, making close-quarters encounters much more consistent and lethal.

Reduced to Rubble

Quest Giver: Shani

In Reduced to Rubble, Shani assigns you a two-part mission in Blue Gate, centered around documenting the damage and remains left behind by ARC forces. This quest is a good way to explore the region and learn important landmarks.

You’ll need to visit two locations:

1. Highway Collapse (South-West Blue Gate)

   • Travel to the south-west part of Blue Gate to reach the Highway Collapse area.

   • Once there, look for a spot that gives you an on-screen prompt to take a photo of the highway. Interact when the prompt appears to log the destruction.

2. Broken Earth (ARC Remains)

   • From there, move on to the Broken Earth area, where you’ll find massive remains of a large ARC robot.

   • Approach the remains and look for a prompt to investigate. Interact with it to complete the quest.

This mission encourages you to explore and understand battlefield aftermath, setting the tone for how devastating ARC incursions can be.

Rewards:

• 1× Binoculars
• 1× Zipline
• 3× Barricade Kit
• 3× Door Blocker

These tools give you better scouting, mobility, and defensive setups, which are invaluable when tackling more dangerous Arc Raiders quests.

Keeping the Memory

Quest Giver: Celeste

Keeping the Memory is a short but emotional quest from Celeste, focused on honoring fallen forces. You’ll be heading to the Wreckage area of Dam Battlegrounds, where a massive ARC robot lies destroyed.

First, find the large ARC robot remains in the Wreckage area. From there, move north-east of the robot, where you can spot a bush with an interaction prompt labeled “Search for Helmet.” Interact with the bush to retrieve a fallen Raider’s helmet.

After picking up the helmet, you’ll need to place it on a nearby rod or marker to complete the memorial. Look around the immediate area for a rod or similar structure that you can interact with. Once you place the helmet, the quest is complete.

This mission is straightforward but helps tie the world-building together, reinforcing the human cost of the conflict with the ARCs.

Rewards:

• 5× Simple Gun Parts
• 5× Duct Tape
• 5× Magnet

These materials are excellent for early crafting and weapon upgrades, giving you flexible options to improve your gear.

Market Correction

Quest Giver: Tian Wen

Market Correction is another quick and easy quest from Tian Wen that takes place in Morano Station, located in the Buried City. It’s ideal to clear while you’re already running other missions nearby.

Once you arrive at Morano Station, look for two trash buckets with red flags tied to them. These are positioned next to one of the smaller buildings in the area, so keep an eye out for the red flags as a visual marker.

All you need to do is interact with both trash buckets. Each bucket counts as a separate interaction, and once you’ve checked both, the quest will complete. There’s no need for combat or special items, making this an efficient mission to finish quickly between more demanding runs.

Rewards:

• 1× Silencer II
• 1× Extended Light Mag I
• 1× Compensator I

These attachments significantly improve your stealth, ammo capacity, and recoil control, making them very strong for mid-game loadouts.

Eyes on the Prize

Quest Giver: Tian Wen

In Eyes on the Prize, Tian Wen sends you back to the southern part of Buried City, slightly south-west of Plaza Rosa. This mission combines light exploration with a small crafting requirement.

Your goal is to:

1. Find a building with a blue tarp on the rooftop in the target area.
2. Once you reach the rooftop, you’ll see a generator that needs repairs.

To repair the generator, you must spend 3 Wires, so make sure you bring at least 3 Wires in your inventory before starting the quest. If you arrive without them, you’ll have to backtrack or run another raid.

Interact with the generator and confirm the repair to complete the mission. This quest reinforces the importance of bringing the right materials when tackling objective-based content.

Rewards:

• 1× Extended Shotgun Mag II
• 1× Extended Medium Mag II

These magazines increase your ammo capacity for key weapon types, letting you stay in fights longer without constantly reloading.

Industrial Espionage

Quest Giver: Tian Wen

Industrial Espionage is a clever quest from Tian Wen that has you bugging a cache to gather intel. To start, head to the Gas Station in Buried City, where you’ll need to interact with a Metal Cache located on-site.

However, there’s an important requirement:
You must bring at least 1 Burletta with you to complete the quest. Without it, you won’t be able to progress.

Here’s what to do:

1. Travel to the Gas Station in Buried City.
2. Locate the Metal Cache and interact with it.
3. You’ll be prompted to deposit 1 Burletta into the cache.
4. After depositing the Burletta, interact with the cache again to bug it, completing the mission.

This quest introduces you to Burletta usage and interaction with special caches, which shows up in other advanced missions and systems later on.

Rewards:

• Burletta Blueprint
• 3× Mechanical Components
• 3× Simple Gun Parts

The Burletta Blueprint is the real prize here, unlocking the ability to craft Burlettas in the future, while the components and gun parts support your ongoing weapon and equipment upgrades.

Echoes of Victory Ridge

Quest Giver: Celeste

In the Echoes of Victory Ridge Arc Raiders quest, Celeste sends you to investigate a hidden stash beneath a ruined bridge in Dam Battlegrounds. This mission focuses on smart navigation and safe extraction rather than direct combat.

You’ll need to travel to the West Broken Bridge, located in the northern part of Dam Battlegrounds. Once you arrive, look for the section of the bridge that has collapsed. Your goal is to get underneath the broken span, where a small hideout is tucked away out of sight.

To make it easier to locate the hideout, watch for a blue tarp hanging from the edge of the collapsed bridge. This tarp acts as a visual marker, guiding you straight to the stash. Head underneath, loot the hidden cache, and then extract safely with the items to complete the quest. If you die before extracting, you’ll lose the loot and need to repeat the mission.

Rewards:

• 6× Crude Explosives
• 2× Processor
• 1× Music Box

The explosives and processors are useful for crafting and combat, while the Music Box adds a nice bit of flavor and atmosphere to your Arc Raiders progression.

Unexpected Initiative

Quest Giver: Tian Wen

Unexpected Initiative is a mid-game Arc Raiders quest from Tian Wen that sends you climbing across rooftops in Buried City. Your objectives are to collect Fertilizer and a Water Pump, both located high above street level.

Here’s how to complete it:

1. Grandioso Apartments – Fertilizer

   • Travel to the Grandioso Apartments in Buried City.

   • Climb all the way up to the rooftop.

   • Look for a flowerpot up there. Interact with it to loot the Fertilizer.

2. Piazza Roma – Water Pump

   • Next, head to the two buildings on the left side of Piazza Roma.

   • Once again, climb to the rooftops.

   • Find and interact with the water pump to obtain the second required item.

After you collect both items, extract safely and return to base to complete the quest. This mission is a good reminder to always scan upward — in Arc Raiders, rooftops often hide valuable loot and quest objectives.

Rewards:

• Il Toro I
• 40× Shotgun Ammo
• Shotgun Choke II

These rewards give you a strong shotgun-focused boost, perfect for close-range engagements in future quests and raids.

A Symbol of Unification

Quest Giver: Celeste

In A Symbol of Unification, Celeste sends you to perform a symbolic act at a frontline position in Dam Battlegrounds. The quest takes place in the Formicai Outpost, located in the southern part of the area.

To complete the mission:

1. Travel to Formicai Outpost in south Dam Battlegrounds.
2. Enter a small building within the outpost. Inside, look for a bag you can interact with. Loot it to obtain a flag.
3. Carry the flag to the flagpole located on top of the same building.
4. Interact with the flagpole to raise the flag and complete the quest.

The mission is simple mechanically, but it adds a thematic layer to the war against the ARCs by restoring a symbol of resistance and unity in a contested zone.

Rewards:

• Aviator (Outfit)
• 3× Mod Components
• 5× Duct Tape

Alongside the Aviator outfit for visual customization, you receive crafting materials that are especially useful for upgrading and modding your Arc Raiders gear.

The Major’s Footlocker

Quest Giver: Tian Wen

The Major’s Footlocker is a compact but rewarding quest from Tian Wen. It sends you to recover a piece of memorabilia tied to a high-ranking figure.

Here’s what to do:

1. Travel to the apartments north-west of the Dam.
2. Look for the building on the west side of Ruby Residence.
3. Inside or around this building, find a metal box that prompts you to “Search for memorabilia.”
4. Interact with the box to obtain the quest item, then extract safely to finish the mission.

There’s no complex puzzle here, but staying alert and avoiding unnecessary fights will ensure you don’t lose the memorabilia before extraction.

Rewards:

• Hullcracker Blueprint

The Hullcracker Blueprint unlocks a powerful tool for dealing with armored enemies or structures, making this quest a high-value pickup for your long-term Arc Raiders progression.

Out of the Shadows

Quest Giver: Shani

In Out of the Shadows, Shani tasks you with hunting down an ARC Rocketeer to obtain a Rocketeer Driver. Rocketeers are dangerous enemies that can quickly punish careless positioning, especially in open areas.

To make this fight manageable, it’s highly recommended to use Wolfpacks:

• 1–2 Wolfpacks are usually enough to bring a Rocketeer down quickly, especially if you support them with your own fire.
• Deploy the Wolfpacks to distract and pressure the Rocketeer, then focus on staying in cover and dealing damage while it’s busy.

Once the Rocketeer is destroyed, loot the Rocketeer Driver and head to extraction to complete the mission. Avoid overstaying in high-threat zones—your goal is to kill the Rocketeer, grab the item, and get out.

Rewards:

• 3× Surge Shield Recharger
• 2× Wolfpack

These rewards give you both defensive power (Surge Shield Rechargers) and additional Wolfpacks for future fights, making it easier to handle dangerous elite enemies in later Arc Raiders quests.

Celeste’s Journals

Quest Giver: Celeste

In Celeste’s Journals, you’ll help Celeste recover two important personal records spread across opposite ends of the map. This quest is heavily focused on travel, careful looting, and safe extraction.

You must retrieve two journals:

1. Journal 1 – South Swamp Outpost

   • Travel to the South Swamp Outpost.

   • Enter the buildings and inspect the beds inside.

   • Look for a prompt that says “Search for Journals” near the beds and interact to find the first journal.

2. Journal 2 – Raider Outpost East

   • Next, head to the Raider Outpost East, located on the opposite side of the map.

   • Once again, check the beds inside the buildings, looking for the “Search for Journals” prompt.

   • Interact to retrieve the second journal.

After collecting both journals, you must successfully extract with them. If you die, you’ll lose the items and have to repeat the collection process. Plan your route carefully, avoid overly aggressive fights, and prioritize survival over extra loot.

Rewards:

• 1× Magnetic Accelerator
• 3× Heavy Gun Parts
• 1× Exodus Modules

These rewards provide a strong boost to your weapon performance and high-end builds, making this quest a valuable milestone in your overall Arc Raiders progression.

Arc Raiders Quests FAQ

Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about Arc Raiders quests — how many there are, how they work, and what you can expect from them in terms of progression and replayability.

How Many Quests Are in Arc Raiders?

There are a total of 64 quests in Arc Raiders, split between five main NPC quest-givers:

• Shani
• Celeste
• Tian Wen
• Apollo
• Lance

Each NPC focuses on slightly different themes — from exploration and story-driven tasks to combat, scavenging, and technical objectives. Together, these 64 quests form the backbone of your Arc Raiders progression, guiding you through new areas, mechanics, and rewards as you advance.

Can You Do Quests Solo in Arc Raiders?

Yes, most Arc Raiders quests can be completed solo. The majority of objectives are designed to be manageable by a single player, especially early and mid-game missions that focus on learning the basics, exploring key locations, and gathering resources.

However, some late-game quests can become much easier if you bring teammates, especially when:

• You’re dealing with multiple elite enemies in the same area.
• The quest involves long travel routes through dangerous zones.
• You must complete several objectives in one raid and don’t want to risk losing everything on death.

While solo play is absolutely viable, teaming up can make certain missions faster, safer, and more forgiving.

Can You Repeat Quests in Arc Raiders?

No, in Arc Raiders most quests cannot be repeated once they are completed. After you finish a quest:

• Its rewards are granted to your account.
• The quest is marked as completed in your progression.
• You cannot take the same quest again from the NPC.

Because of this, it’s worth approaching quests with some care — especially those with higher difficulty or long routes — since their rewards are one-time only and tied to your overall account progression rather than something you can farm repeatedly.

Are There Daily Quests in Arc Raiders?

No, there are currently no daily or weekly repeatable quests in Arc Raiders. All main quests in the game are one-time objectives that you complete permanently as part of your progression.

Instead of a daily-quest system, Arc Raiders focuses on:

• One-off story and progression quests
• Exploration, farming, and extraction gameplay
• Optional challenges and enemy hunting for resources and gear

Once you clear all 64 quests, your ongoing progression comes from improving your builds, farming materials, hunting specific enemies, and mastering the maps, rather than redoing the same quests on a daily cycle.
