Overview and importance of ARC Raiders “Market Adjustment” quest
ARC Raiders is an extraction shooter that collects resources on the surface controlled by the mechanical life form ARC and develops the underground city of Speranza. Quests can be ordered from traders and cleared to receive rewards and progress in the story. “Market Adjustment” is Tian Wen's second quest, which has an espionage theme. Trader Tian Wen is good at weapon-related transactions, and progressing through this questline will make it easier to obtain powerful blueprints and parts.
Basic information about the quest:
- order trader: Tian Wen
- Prerequisite quest: Clear “Marked Target”
- the goal:
- Within 1 round Search for a treasure chest near Marano Station
- tamper with hidden objects
- Recommended level: Early stage (around level 5)
- Time required:2-5 minutes
- Difficulty level: Low (easy if you know the location)
| reward item | detail | effect |
|---|---|---|
| Silencer II ×1 | Suppressor Mk2 | Gunshot noise reduction, ideal for stealth combat |
| Extended small magazine ×1 | Small Extended Magazine | Increased number of small arms bullets, increased sustained combat power |
This reward can be equipped on SMGs and pistols in the early stages, and the silencer is an essential part that makes it difficult to reveal your position to the enemy. Extended magazines reduce the risk of running out of ammo, giving you an advantage in engagements with ARCs and raiders. We recommend clearing the quest as soon as possible to increase Tian Wen's trust level and lead to the next quest “Keep an Eye on Me.”
Prerequisites and detailed ordering instructions
Please meet the following conditions before accepting the quest. Skipping will result in wasted time.
- Go to Speranza trader area: Go to the underground city marketplace and find Tian Wen's counter. He is near the center of the arms dealer area.
- Clear the prerequisite quest “Marked Target”: This is a quest to eliminate a target in a buried city. After clearing the stage, talk to Tian Wen to unlock “Market Adjustment”.
- Start raid: Select “Market Adjustment” from the quest menu and select the buried town. Start solo or duo. Check for quest sharing when playing in a group.
Note: If the prerequisites have not been cleared, “Market Adjustment” will not be displayed in Tian Wen's conversation. Parallel progress is ideal, as marked targets can be completed within 10 minutes.
Map details: Accurate location explanation of the buried city of Marano Station
Buried City is a ruined city in the eastern area, and Marano Station is located on the east side. Please note that it may be written as “Marano Station” on the map. A station is a structure along the railroad tracks, with shops and buildings dotted around it.
Coordinate wind position information (map reference):
- approximate location: East end of the buried city, area near the spaceport.
- detail: It's on the northeast side of the station, behind the store (a hut-like building). Trash cans are placed along the exterior walls of buildings.
- landmark:This is a ruin located 50m northeast of the station platform, beyond the railroad tracks. The quest marker points to the entire station, so zoom in to see it.
Virtual image description (actual screenshot reference):
- Image 1: A map of the entire hidden city. Mark Marano station with a red circle. It's near the east coast.
- Image 2: Close-up view of the station. Northeast building (brown wall), there is a green garbage can on the right.
- Image 3: A close-up of the trash can. Interactable and an “investigate” prompt will appear.
Example of arrival route:
- Recommended drop point: Buried Town East Gate or directly above the station.
- Optimal solo route: Immediately after dropping, go straight northeast and follow the wall to the back of the store.
- Duo time: One person will take control of the station, and the other person will head to the trash can.
Step-by-step strategy: Perfect procedure to clear 1 round
The quest only has two steps, but there is a time limit (1 round = 20 minutes or less), so speed is the key. Please comply with the following:
Step 1: Search for treasure chests near Marano Station (Trash can investigation)
- After starting the raid, you will be immediately transferred to Marano Station. We aim to arrive within 1 minute of the drop.
- You will arrive at the back of the store on the northeast side of the station. Trash cans are fixed to the ground and surrounded by weeds and debris.
- Select Investigate in the interaction. It will be recognized as a treasure chest and the next action will be unlocked.
- Time required:30 seconds
- Tips: Scan the surrounding area (use ping function) to check for enemies. ARCs (small drones) tend to wander around.
Step 2: Trick the hidden object (sabotage)
- Immediately after investigation, a “Sabotage” prompt will appear in the same trash can. Select and execute.
- After the animation, a quest completion notification will be displayed.
- Time required:10 seconds
- Tips: You will hear the sound of destruction, so immediately move to cover. If a raider is nearby, it will be detected immediately.
Clear confirmation: “Completed” will be displayed in the quest log. You can scour the area before escaping, but please allow plenty of time.
| time | action |
|---|---|
| 0:00 | Start raid, go straight to the station |
| 1:00 | Arrival and investigation of trash can |
| 1:10 | Sabotage completed |
| 2:00 | Secure escape point/return |
How to use rewards and the overall picture of Tian Wen quest line
The clear reward Silencer II is the best equipment for AMR-1 and P-1 pistols. The extended small magazine increases the number of bullets by 20%, contributing to saving ammunition in the early stages. Craft these in your workshop and use them in your next raid.
Tian Wen's quest progression order (after market adjustment):
- Market adjustment (this quest)
- Something I can't take my eyes off of
- industrial espionage
- …(more than 10 in total)
A special blueprint will be released by clearing the line. At the same time, proceed with Shani and Celeste's quests to accelerate the strengthening of your base.
Points to note and tips for avoiding mistakes: Troubleshooting essential for beginners
Although this quest is easy, it is easy to fail due to the following mistakes.
- Wrong place: Please be aware of the fluctuation in the notation of Marano Station and Marano Station. Map enlargement is required.
- Time over: If you lose 5 minutes due to a drop mistake, you will immediately retry.
- enemy interference: ARC-Wasp and Hornet will appear in the surrounding area. If a silencer is not equipped, Snipe has priority.
- raider encounter:Duo is recommended as it is a popular area. If you're alone, move stealth.
- Missed the trash can:Use the light when mapping at night. Expand the quest marker.
Advanced Tips:
- Combined use of monetary policy: Search lockers around the station and add 5k credits in 1 raid.
- alternative route: Go around from the south of the station and avoid enemies.
- Changes after patch: Fixed the shield charger in 1.1.0, improving the survival rate.
Common failures and how to deal with them:
- “There are no trash cans.'' → Check behind the store. Reset by relogging.
- “Cannot be destroyed'' → Failure to investigate. Interact twice.
