'With A View' quest walkthrough in Arc Raiders

The Arc Raiders "With A View" quest was added to the game with the Headwinds update, and once again, it's taking us back to Stella Montis. Unfortunately, it's another quest where you need to spend time looting to find the necessary items, much like Snap and Salvage, but there are a few extra steps on top of that.

So for 'With A View', here's where you can find a Rotary Encoder, Ion Sputter, the control rooms, and the nearby computer in Arc Raiders.

'With A View' quest walkthrough in Arc Raiders

"With A View" has a few different steps, but the first one — and one of the most difficult — is all about getting a Rotary Encoder. Once you've done that, you need to use it on a computer, then find an Ion Sputter, all in Stella Montis. Thankfully though, it doesn't all need to be done in one round like some quests.

Where to find a Rotary Encoder in Arc Raiders

If you're familiar with Stella Montis, you'll know Rotary Encoders are purple-tier loot — also known as exodus loot — that can technically be found anywhere on the map. However, some areas are much more likely to spawn it than others: Assembly (which is where you need to go anyway for the next step) or Business Center.

Since the loot is rare anyway, folks who aren't doing the quest will certainly be taking it if they find it, so your best bet is to hightail it to one of the above locations at the very start of the match and loot thoroughly. If you spawn mid-way through a round, you should probably cut your losses and try again.

Next, you need to head to the control rooms in the Assembly Workshops. These are the rooms to the north of Stella Montis, with terminals and plenty of breachable containers. Any of the control rooms do the job, and once you get there, look for a bright yellow lever. Use the Rotary Encoder on it, and then you'll need to interact with a computer, which should be right next to the lever.

Where to find an Ion Sputter in Arc Raiders

Finally, you need to find an Ion Sputter. You do need to return this item to Shani, so we'd recommend loading fresh into Stella Montis with a safe pocket, so you can keep it even if you die.

Once again, an Ion Sputter is considered to be exodus loot, so you need to head to the same locations: Assembly or Business Center. If you have no luck there, try areas like Medical Research and Lobby, as they also have lots of containers to loot. Unfortunately, there's little more advice to give, because finding the necessary items is almost solely luck-based. Good luck!
