ARC Raiders: Location of the Barrel’s Origins in A Toxic Trail

by

The “A Toxic Trail” quest is a new addition to ARC Raiders with the Cold Snap update. It continues the story from the “Source of Contamination” quest and sends players back to the flood spill intake near the Water Treatment Facility. While it’s a quick quest, finding the clues about where the barrels came from in the swamp can be challenging. Here’s a guide to completing the A Toxic Trail quest in ARC Raiders.

Water Treatment Water Intake Location in ARC Raiders (A Toxic Trail)

After you begin the “A Toxic Trail” quest in ARC Raiders, launch a match on the Dam Battlegrounds map. Go to the spot shown on the map – it’s on the north side of the Water Treatment Control Facility. You’ll find a small intake area there with a toxic barrel inside.

To start the “A Toxic Trail” quest, simply go into the polluted water and stand close to the barrel. This will complete the first goal: returning to the water intake area under the Water Treatment building.

How to Find the Traces of Barrel’s Origins in A Toxic Trail Quest (Location)

Okay, so for the next part of the quest, “A Toxic Trail” in ARC Raiders, we need to head into the swamp and try to figure out where this barrel even came from. The area we’re looking for isn’t too far off, but honestly, it’s pretty easy to wander around aimlessly without some help. I’m hoping there’s a guide to make this a little less frustrating!

Things get even more complicated because the Water Treatment Control building is often visited by raiders – sometimes they’re friendly, but just as often they’re hostile.

Go north-west, towards the trees. You’ll come to a small river with a truck stuck in the middle of it.

The truck will have barrels that look just like the one discovered in the water supply. To take a picture of it, simply walk up to the truck and interact with it. Then, you’ll need to interact with it again to look for clues that might reveal who the Saboteur is.

After finishing both parts of the “A Toxic Trail” quest in ARC Raiders, go back to Speranza. Talk to Shani to finish the quest and you’ll receive a Tactical MK.2 Augment, 3 Ziplines, 3 Pulse Mines, and 3 Gas Mines as a reward.
