ARC Raiders Off The Radar Quest Guide

by

Okay, so I finally got settled in Speranza in ARC Raiders and started doing some runs to the surface. Now, Shani’s got me working on fixing everything after that massive storm that brought us all here. Basically, it’s cleanup duty after the chaos!

You can start the ‘Off The Radar’ quest once you finish ‘Recycling’. The good news is, you can complete ‘Recycling’ – and therefore unlock the next quest – without leaving the town of Speranza, as long as you have the necessary items.

Your mission is to head to the surface, locate one of the six Field Depots in the Rust Belt, and repair its antenna. After that, just try to make it back safely. Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it?

ARC Raiders Field Depot Locations

Before leaving, Shani will mention the structures are marked with blue tarps and have an antenna. However, she doesn’t tell you they’re actually quite small, and the antennae are difficult to see among the much larger buildings in the Dam Battlegrounds.

You can repair the antenna at any of the depots – fixing just one will finish the quest and let you return. However, it’s a good idea to choose carefully which depot you go to.

On the northern part of the map, you’ll find two supply depots: one in the Power Generation Complex and another in the Hydroponic Dome Complex. Be warned – both areas are full of enemies like bots and raiders who are after loot and completing missions. I tried going to the Power Generation depot and it was a tough fight just to get in and out. I’d suggest avoiding both if you want an easier time.

The trails on the south side offer a more comfortable experience, and the easiest one is found directly west of the Water Treatment Control building, hidden in the woods. While it’s close to the ARC and has three resource points nearby, thick plants and small ditches provide excellent cover, allowing you to approach your goal quietly and safely.

How to Complete the Off the Radar Quest

After you choose a location to start the quest, finishing it is surprisingly simpler than any other mission in ARC Raiders.

If you’ve managed to reach the Field Depot without being hit by another raider or a robot, go to the building and climb onto the roof. The antenna you need is up there.

Keep jumping and climbing until you can grab onto something solid, then head to the control panel at the bottom of the antenna. You’ll see a yellow highlight when you can interact with it. Press the button and wait for it to finish. After that, Shani will call with your next task, but you don’t need to talk to her right away.

If you always want to head back to base after finishing a mission, I suggest checking out the Field Depot. It’s located between the Control Tower and the Testing Annex, and surprisingly, that’s its strength. Even though it’s right between two popular areas for player-versus-player combat, people are usually too focused on fighting over those key locations to bother with anyone passing through the quieter area around the Depot.

The elevator is just a short distance from the Field Depot. There are plenty of places to hide while you wait, or to dodge it if a raider tries to ambush you. When you call for the elevator, quickly run behind the nearby pipes or into the building, and then get in as soon as the doors open.

If your original plan falls through, you can try going northeast towards Red Lake, but you’ll need a Raider Hatch Key. This route is a bit trickier because of robot patrols, but it allows you to leave quietly without drawing attention to yourself.
