Completing the Off the Radar Mission in ARC Raiders: A Step-by-Step Guide

The “Off the Radar”quest in ARC Raiders presents players with the challenge of locating a Field Depot and repairing its antenna. Unfortunately, pinpointing these locations can be quite perplexing, especially given their elusive nature on the expansive map.

With only a handful of clues to guide you, this guide will outline effective strategies for tracking down these Field Depots so you can successfully complete the Off the Radar quest.

As you begin your raid associated with the Off the Radar quest, you will be briefed by command about a specific structure to seek out. You’ll receive a description that indicates you are searching for a building topped with a blue tarp and an antenna.

This briefing can feel rather vague, particularly within the vast landscape of the game. However, Field Depots are predominantly situated in the Dam Battlegrounds area. To assist your search, utilize your in-game map and consult the Field Depot icon provided in the legends section on the right side.

One common source of confusion is that while you may find several Field Depots scattered across the map, the Field Depot icon will only appear after you physically get close enough to one. Moreover, you may have already encountered a Field Depot without realizing it, as these structures often house locked crates and machinery for opening them. A well-known location to find such a depot is inside the Hydroponic Dome Complex.

Upon locating a Field Depot—whether you recognized it initially or not—the icon will become visible on your map. This mechanic is somewhat unconventional, leading to speculation that game developers might consider adjusting this feature in future updates to make it more user-friendly.

After identifying a Field Depot, make your way to the top; there’s typically a ladder alongside the structure. Proceed to the antenna and perform the necessary repairs. Once you’ve completed this action, you can extract and conclude the quest. As a reward, you will receive a pair of Defibrillators, and your next objective will be assigned by Celeste.

Visiting the Hydroponic Dome Complex not only facilitates the completion of this quest but also offers the chance to discover valuable loot, including Industrial Batteries and even legendary items.
