Sundays are for waking up alongside a hilariously beautiful partner. They turn over and whisper softly in your ear that the pair of you should rob a bank. You agree, if only because of the heavenly way in which they roll the R in rob on their tongue as they say it. You buy matching ski masks and shotguns from a totally regular man in a car park. The next thing you know, you're pressing two barrels up against the plastiglass of a window and screaming at a terrified clerk to stick it all the fucking bag. You call out to your partner in an effort to ascertain how long it'll be until the cops show up. "I am delayed," they respond in a brick-like monotone. What? You wheel around. They're standing in the middle of the foyer, t-posed in a manner which provokes questions about their treatment of workers. "I am delayed," they repeat. You turn back around. Thump.

You're flung onto your back, and a dull pain begins to throb on the right side of your stomach. The bank manager, Adrian Edmondson, stands over you pointing the shotgun you formerly wielded at your head. "The fuzz are en-route, you utter baasssstard" he bellows, seductively rolling the R in bastard. "Any last words?"

A player in a jungle biome aiming at a massive robot in ARC Raiders.

The Power Out quest is a relatively simple one in ARC Raiders, but it can still turn out to be confusing if you don't know what to do.

You can begin the quest after obtaining it from Celeste. The quest requires you to lead an inquest into a missing personnel and enable the power switch at the desired location. This guide will help you complete all the steps without any hassle.

ARC Raiders Power Out quest walkthrough

The Power Out quest can be broken down into the following parts.

  • Find the Electrical Substation south of the Spaceport, next to the Checkpoint
  • Find any sign of the missing engineer
  • Carry the fuse/battery back to the Electrical Substation
  • Enable the power switch on the Fuse Box

The first step is to reach the Electrical Substation. This is located to the south of Spaceport, and I have marked its location. If you're at the marked location, you'll find an electrical box. Leave it untouched as you'll need to find a quest item to turn on the power switch.

Turn left from the electrical box, and you'll spot the engineer's items (refer to the second task of the quest). Interact with the items (a container) to take a cell from within, and return to the electrical box. Stand close to it, and you'll be able to interact with the box with the cell and place it inside.

Turn on the power to complete the final part of the quest, and you can then speak with Celeste when you're back in Speranza. Extraction isn't key with this quest, and the nearest elevator will be quite far. The Electrical Substation isn't an excellent loot area, but you can find essential items like Batteries.

Here's the complete list of items that you'll get after completing the Power Out quest.

  • Five Wires

Player looking over a bridge in ARC Raiders

Lost in Transmission in ARC Raiders is one of Shani's late-game quests that requires you to travel to the Control Tower on the Spaceport map.

The mission is structured similarly to almost all the side quests. You have to reach the assigned location and establish a connection using the terminal present there. This guide will help you complete all steps of the task without any hassle.

The Lost in Transmission quest can be broken down into three parts.

  • Reach the top of Control Tower A6.
  • Establish a connection from the terminal in Control Tower A6.

You'll also have to complete both tasks in one raid, so be careful not to die. The first task is to reach the top of the Control Tower A6. While the location is pretty easy to reach, and I have also marked its location, you'll need a key.

This key is required to unlock the path to Control Tower A6, and it's available as a random drop. However, we have a detailed guide on how you can raise the chances of finding the key yourself. Once you obtain the key, head to the location marked on the screenshot above.

Go in through the main entrance, and the first room in front of you will require the key. Use the key to gain access to a zipline that takes you all the way to the top. You'll find a terminal to your left. Interact with it to start the signal transmission and establish the network connection.

Speak with Shani when you're back on Speranza, and you'll complete the quest.
