Arc Raiders 'Waking the Grid' quest walkthrough

16 hours ago 3

The "Waking the Grid" quest in Arc Raiders is all about hunting for a security breach on Spaceport. You must visit a guard tower, then find the security control center in the Departure Building, before heading to the Arrival Building to look for any trace of a breach. Much like the "Dust on the Wires" quest, it's a lot of trotting around Spaceport.

If you want to know exactly where to go for each location in the "Waking the Grid" quest in Arc Raiders, this is a step-by-step guide.


'Waking the Grid' quest steps in Arc Raiders

You don't need to complete all of "Waking the Grid" in one round, but it isn't too difficult if you decide to try because each location isn't too far from one another. Here's each step in order:

  1. Activate the security sensors in one of the guard towers.
  2. Start the security control center in the Departure Building.
  3. Search for any traces of a security breach in the Arrival Building data office.

Your first job is to find a guard tower on Spaceport. Your best bet is to head to the Fuel Lines point of interest, then look to the east. Along the wall, you'll see a building. Head inside and use the zip line to climb to the top, then interact with the machine by the window to activate the security sensors.

The Departure Building is just a stone's throw northwest from the guard tower, so head over there by crossing the Fuel Lines. Your best bet is to enter through the southern door, then look to the right. You'll see text on the wall saying "all departures."

Go through here then enter the first room on your left. The security control center is against a wall in this room; the machine looks identical to the one you used in the guard tower.

Finally, you need to go to the Arrival Building. This is a little jaunt northwest again, so just follow the perimeter wall around and when you enter, you should hear an alarm going off, complete with a flashing red light.

The alarm will be above a doorway that you need to breach into, but once you do, you'll find a series of computers at the back of the room with a prompt to cut the wires. Do this and congratulations, the quest is complete.
