What is ARC Raiders? A must-read game overview for beginners and the importance of the quest system
ARC Raiders is an innovative PvPvE extractive shooter game developed by Embark Studios. Players take on the role of a rebel army known as “Raiders” as they explore the ruins of a fallen Earth. The basic loop is to collect valuable materials and return to the underground base while fighting fierce battles with the robot army “ARC” that has invaded from space and competing for resources with other players. The game's appeal lies in its exciting exploration, crafting system, and diverse quests. In particular, quests are story-based missions that are ordered from traders, and by clearing them, your reliability will increase and new equipment and skills will be unlocked.
One of the quests that you will definitely encounter at the beginning of this game is “Radar Evasion”. It is a simple mission to accept orders from the trader “Shani”, but the location of the field storage is difficult to understand, so beginners can easily get stuck.
In this article, we will explain the exact locations of all field storage areas in the Dam Battlefield, Spaceport, and Buried City with map images, as well as cover rooftop antenna repair procedures, reward details, PvP, and ARC enemy countermeasures. A complete guide with tips for both solo and team play. Players who want to progress through quests quickly and become stronger efficiently should read to the end.
Basic information on radar avoidance quest: Order conditions, purpose, recommended level
Quest summary
- Quest name: Radar avoidance (English notation: Off The Radar)
- client: Trader “Shani” (located in the left area of the underground base)
- the purpose: Repair the antenna on the roof of the field storage
- Clear conditions: Complete antenna repair within one raid
- Recommended level: Lv.1~Lv.3 (Since this is an early quest, a low level is sufficient)
- Time required: 5-15 minutes (depending on map selection and movement)
- Difficulty level: Easy (battles can be avoided, but you need to be careful in PvP)
Order conditions
To accept this quest, you must clear the following prerequisite quests. All these will be released from Shani one by one.
- Collect parts: Investigate 3 containers in the loot area
- clear sky: Destroy 3 ARC enemies + obtain 3 ARC alloys
- recycling: Get 6 wires + 1 battery
If you clear these, you will automatically receive the “Radar Evasion” order from Shani's conversation. The prerequisite quest focuses on collecting materials, so it's easy to proceed in parallel.
Unlocked elements after clearing
Immediately after clearing the quest, Celeste will give you a “bad feeling.” This is an investigative mission with the ARC probe and the like, and the story really picks up. Also, Shani's trust level will increase and subsequent quests (e.g. field work) will be unlocked. In the long run, quest progression is the key to obtaining crafting materials and blueprints.
List of field storage locations for all maps: complete map of dam battlefield, spaceport, and buried city
The field storage building is a cylindrical building resembling a clay pipe, with a large antenna on the roof. When you approach it, “Field Storage” will be displayed on the map and a quest marker will be attached. There are multiple on each map, and they are not placed in Blue Gate. We recommend “Dam Battlefield”, which has a lot of field storage. Below you will find a detailed list of all locations on each map. Coordinates are explained in relative positions (the house icon is a landmark when zooming in on the in-game map).
Dam Battlefield (Field Depot total 6 locations: most efficient)
The Dam Battlefield is close to the starting point and has a high storage density, so it should be given top priority. We recommend heading southwest immediately after respawning.
| location number | Detailed location | Landmark/access method | Image image description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Southwest side, between the electrical substation and the water tower | It's on the southwestern edge of the map, near the dam itself. The ladder is on the east side. | It is located alone on an open flatland on the shore of a dam lake. Many small ARC enemies will appear around you. |
| 2 | Northeast, east side power generation equipment area of power generation facility | It's inside the fence on the far right of the power plant group. The stairs are on the north side. | It is a place where it is easy to hide because it is surrounded by equipment and machinery. Supplies are plentiful. |
| 3 | Central part, below control tower A6 | South of the control tower, along the road. The ladder is on the west side. | It's a PvP hotspot. We recommend moving fast. |
| 4 | Northwest, east end of ruined residential area | This is an area with a high concentration of house icons. The stairs are on the south side. | You can stop by while exploring the interior. |
| 5 | Southeast, water tower base | This is a flat area directly below the tower. There are multiple ladders. | It is for beginners. There are fewer enemies. |
| 6 | East end, under the collapsed expressway | It's near the road collapse. The stairs are hidden. | There are many reward crates. |
Lap route tips: It is possible to complete the entire circuit using the triangular route of 1 → 5 → 2. Please start from 1 when soloing.
Spaceport (Field Depot, 4 locations in total: abundant supplies, but intense PvP)
Spaceports are easy to get blueprints, but there are many players. You can take advantage of poor visibility during night attack maps.
| location number | Detailed location | Landmark/access method | Image image description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | South, outside the rocket assembly area | Outside the south fence of the assembly area. The ladder is on the east side. | This is an area where rocket parts are scattered. |
| 2 | Center, communication tower base | The area around the tower is flat. The stairs are on the north side. | Be careful of snipers from high places. |
| 3 | Northeast, next to container storage | Inside a group of containers. The ladder is on the west side. | This is a place rich in craft materials. |
| 4 | West end, near substation | This is an area with a large concentration of utility poles. The stairs are on the south side. | ARC medium size is likely to appear. |
Buried City (Field Depot 5 locations: suitable for exploration)
The buried city is densely packed with buildings, making it easy to take stealth action, but ARC spiders are common.
| location number | Detailed location | Landmark/access method | Image image description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | South, outside the space travel facility | It is on the 6th floor of the facility. The ladder is on the east side. | Breaking through the barricade is necessary. |
| 2 | Central, south of the old town Red Tower | This is the base of the tower. The stairs are on the north side. | Conveniently located near the generator. |
| 3 | Northwest, olive grove edge | This is the outer periphery of the field. The ladder is on the west side. | It can also be used for plant harvesting. |
| 4 | East, below the Galleria sign | It's flat land just below the sign. The stairs are on the south side. | You can stop by while installing LiDAR. |
| 5 | West end, abandoned apartment complex | It's between apartments. There are multiple ladders. | It's safe to go solo. |
This covers all 15 locations. You can easily find it by zooming in on the map and looking for the “house icon”.
Detailed instructions for rooftop antenna repair: A complete step-by-step guide
- Map selection and drop: After accepting the quest, start the raid. Select a dam battlefield and drop it near a storage area (e.g. near an electrical substation).
- Approaching storage: Check the map and choose a shortcut. Eliminate ARC small (Wasp/Hornet). Use Donshu (G key) to avoid PvP.
- Rooftop climb: Look for yellow ladders/stairs on the side of the building (there may be more than one). Scan your surroundings as you climb. You are invincible while climbing the ladder, but be careful not to get hit at the top.
- antenna repair: Approach the base of the antenna in the center of the rooftop. Start at the “Repair” prompt (long press E key). It takes approximately 10 seconds. No items required.
- Immediate departure: It will descend immediately after the repair completion sound is heard. Go straight to the escape portal. There is no quest failure even if you die and return (clear within 1 raid).
Video image: We recommend crouching while climbing the ladder. Ask a friend to watch over you while repairs are being made.
Reward details and usage: Items that can be used immediately
Clear rewards are as follows. All items are highly practical.
- Remote Raider Smoke Cannon x2: For calling for escape. Portals can be deployed from a distance. It is a lifeline for safe escape.
- Black & White (Color: Origin) x1: This is a skin change item. Customization increases motivation.
- Resuscitation equipment ×2: For reviving when downed. Required for team play.
Use these to move on to the next quest, “Bad Premonition.” As reliability increases, Shani's inventory will also increase.
PvP/ARC enemy countermeasures: 100% clear rate up with tips for solo/team
For solo players
- Equipment recommended: Wipe out the ARC with Ferro (large ammunition rifle). 1 stack of small shield. Please use Scrappy (chicken) to assist in transportation.
- PvP avoidance: Repeat “DONSHOO!”. We recommend the North American server (PvP etiquette is good).
| enemy type | Weaknesses/How to defeat |
|---|---|
| wasp | Destroy 2 thrusters (aiming backwards is effective) |
| hornet | Two rear propellers (can be defeated with two ferro shots) |
| pop | Fire before self-destruct (small bullets are sufficient) |
| fireball | Headshot when armor opens |
- route selection: Prioritize the route with fewer enemies (southwest of the dam). Crouch while repairing.
For team players
- One person repairs and two guards. Please call “Antenna repair begins!'' on VC.
- Use smoke bombs to induce immediate escape.
Advanced Tips: Place a field crate in the storage room (also used as a separate quest). Please compress the material by recycling.
