Visual Map Guide: Find Signs of Who Brought Down the Arc in Arc Raiders
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
Once you arrive at the designated sector, look for the rising plume of black smoke. The fallen machine rests half-buried in a limestone ditch. Most players make the mistake of climbing onto the central chassis. The game prompt to find signs of who brought down the ARC will not trigger on the machine’s outer plating.
You must locate three distinct field investigation markers scattered around the impact trench:
The first clue is a scorched battery access panel on the machine's undercarriage. Look for melted slag caused by an infantry-grade thermite burn rather than orbital cannon fire. This proves human intervention disabled the unit from point-blank range.
The second clue sits roughly 15 meters southwest along the muddy bank. You will find spent heavy-ordnance casing clusters mixed with discarded human tech. These casings belong to modified anti-materiel rifles favoured by rogue raider factions rather than automated defense batteries.
The third clue is a makeshift anchor cable snagged against a rusted pipeline north of the crater. The cable shows signs of extreme tension, revealing that ground scavengers tethered the machine during descent to force an engine stall. Interacting with all three clues updates your quest tracker to the extraction stage.
