Player in ARC Raiders

Our Presence Up There is one of the easier quests to complete in ARC Raiders, but you'll have to be at the correct spot.

Once you receive the quest from Shani, you can start completing the associated tasks. This guide will provide you with all the information required for completing the Our Presence Up There quest in ARC Raiders.

ARC Raiders Our Presence Up There quest walkthrough

The Our Presence Up There quest can be broken down into three major parts.

  • Visit the Pattern House in The Dam
  • Find and interact with the Power Switch
  • Complete the antenna installation on the roof

The first task is to reach the Pattern House. You'll find this location in Dam Battlegrounds. The building is located in the extreme northern portion of the map, and I have marked it in the screenshot below.

There are multiple entrances to the Pattern House building, and I chose the main one (as shown in the screenshot). Go in, and turn left. You'll find the starting point of the stairs, and a dark room on the left (beside the stairs).

Head inside, and you'll find the Power Switch. Interact with it to complete the second part of the quest. Once done, the only remaining task is to reach the antenna and complete its installation. The antenna is on the roof.

Don't take the stairs. The stairs can get you to the highest floor, but they're not connected to the roof. Instead, go straight and turn left to find a zipline. Use the zipline, and it will directly take you to the roof.

Go straight on the roof, and you'll find the antenna you're looking for past a couple of generators. Complete the installation process, and you'll complete Our Presence Up There. Since there's no item to take back, you don't have to focus much on a successful extraction.

ARC Raiders Our Presence Up There quest rewards in ARC Raiders

Here's a list of rewards you'll obtain for completing the Our Presence Up There quest in ARC Raiders.

  • One Buried City Town Hall Key
  • One Raider Hatch Key
  • One Jolt Mine

You can use the Town Hall key to get some fantastic rewards on the Buried City map. The Raider Hatch key is immensely useful in emergencies where a Raider hatch is close by and you need to escape.

PEAK Roots biome

If you've been exploring PEAK's The Roots update, you may have noticed some new badges you can collect. While some are as simple as climbing to the top of this update's biome, others are a little trickier to obtain, especially if you've yet to try this level.

All PEAK The Roots update achievements

PEAK's The Roots update features 11 new badges you can obtain for cosmetic rewards. If you're playing on Steam, you'll also unlock achievements that you can show off on your profile. Here's a complete list of badges added in PEAK's The Roots update.

Badge How to obtain
Forestry Badge Climb to the top of PEAK's Roots biome.
Undead Encounter Badge Have a zombie within the Roots biome bite you. Zombies spawn in the Roots biome, appearing as a regular character with mushrooms growing out of its body. You can cure the bite using healing items, such as the first-aid kit and bandages.
Web Security Badge Approach a spider and get caught in its web. Press the on-screen key prompt before preparing for a long drop to the ground. Raise your stamina beforehand to make surviving easier.
Advanced Mycology Badge Eat every Shroomberry type introduced in the Roots biome within one expedition. You'll need to find red, yellow, blue, green, and purple Shroomberries.
Applied Esoterica Badge Use the Book of Bones on a dead friend to bring them back to life. It's a Mythical item, so you'll need to rely on Ancient Statues and luggage bags to obtain it.
Calcium Intake Badge Drink Fortified Milk cartons found inside luggage bags before taking damage. Some easy ways to do this include getting attacked by zombies and taking elemental damage within Mesa and Alpine.
Competitive Eating Badge Eat three hot dogs within five seconds or less. You'll find hot dogs alongside marshmallows atop a level's peak. You may need to stockpile them in a backpack if you get unlucky with their spawns.
Cryptogastronomy Badge Cook and eat a Mandrake plant. They look like medicinal plants, except they'll scream at you and inflict stamina damage when you hold them. Once you pick one up, avoid selecting it in your hotbar and toss it into your backpack before cooking it on a portable stove or campfire.
Disaster Response Badge Use a Rescue Claw to pull an unconscious friend 30 meters. You can find Rescue Claws inside luggage bags.
Mycoacrobatics Badge Use the large mushrooms in the Roots biome to jump around. You'll need to climb high before carefully jumping onto a mushroom far below you.
Tread Lightly Badge Climb to the top of the Roots biome without surpassing 25 percent spores damage in your stamina bar. You'll take spore damage from walking into toxin-filled plants and getting attacked by zombies.

Completing PEAK's new badges will reward you with cosmetics that you can equip to change your appearance. Be sure to check out our growing list of PEAK's cosmetics, or click the tag below to learn more about the new content in this update.

PEAK Checkpoint flag

PEAK's Roots update introduced a new biome and multiple new items. The Checkpoint Flag, although confusing initially, is one of the best items you can find. The most challenging part of using it is figuring out how it works.

How to use the Checkpoint Flag in PEAK

PEAK's Checkpoint Flag gives unconscious players a one-time use checkpoint before they die and turn into a ghost. Once you or a teammate gives up or dies, you'll respawn next to the flag, causing it to disappear. You can place a flag by holding down your interact or "plant" button on a valid spot anywhere on a level.

More often than not, if you or one of your teammates is about to fall victim to fall damage, spore poisoning, or other ailments that are tricky to cure over time, you'll die and turn into a ghost. Having someone use a Checkpoint Flag beforehand gives you a chance to try again without waiting for the rest of your team to make it to the level's peak.

Similarly, if you're playing by yourself, you can save yourself a lot of time by planting this down in a safe spot and attempting a risky climb. That way, if you fail and fall to your death, you'll have another shot at finding another path up.

The main downside of using the Checkpoint Flag is the setback you'll have if you fall from a high spot and have to trek back up. In some cases, the fog might've already caught up to you, causing you to die a second time. One of your friends might also unexpectedly use your flag, leading to a false sense of security if they don't get a chance to tell you.

You'll also have to watch out for unexpected enemies. Depending on the level, you may run into a random spider, scorpion, or zombie who wandered over. Double-check your surroundings as you place the flag, and watch your step as you respawn in case you get ambushed.

Although the Checkpoint Flag isn't directly related to any badges, it can help save your run, letting you collect more throughout the rest of your playthrough. If you're struggling to tackle some of the badges introduced in the Roots update, be sure to check out how to cure a zombie bite in PEAK, or click the game's tag below to explore our growing post list.

Zombie in PEAK

The Cryptogastronomy badge can be one of the trickiest challenges to complete in PEAK, and it involves finding a Mandrake for starters.

Mandrakes are a new item introduced to the game via the Roots update. They're also exclusive to the new biome and are associated with the Cryptogastronomy badge. This guide will help you find a Mandrake and then complete the new badge.

How to find a Mandrake in PEAK

The first part of the Cryptogastronomy badge involves finding a Mandrake. To do so, you'll first have to reach the Roots biome. Then, you need to start looking for Medicinal Roots. The Medicinal Root is a healing item in PEAK, and Mandrakes look the same.

Look into the shrubs and bushes that are staples of the Roots biome. Medicinal Roots can be found in such areas, but you'll have to scrutinize your surroundings properly. Once you spot one, pick it up. If you're lucky, it will turn out to be a Mandrake. It's impossible to differentiate between it and a Medicinal Root as long as it's in the ground. In simple words, getting a Mandrake on your run (and completing the Cryptogastronomy badge) depends entirely on your luck.

How to get the Cryptogastronomy badge in PEAK

The Mandrake is one of the most dangerous items to find. If you hold it in your arms and it screams, it will prove to be detrimental to your health. The first thing you want to do is to put it in your inventory. While it will make you sleepy (when it's in your backpack), you'll avoid getting hid by its scream.

Ideally, you'll want to find a Portable Stove from the Shore biome. This item allows you to cook anywhere you want, and reduces the need for a campfire. The easiest way to complete a Cryptogastronomy badge is to take out the stove, set it up, and cook the Mandrake in it. Once done, just consume the item (it has medical benefits) to earn the badge.

If you don't have the Portable Stove, the only alternative is to reach a campfire as quickly as possible. You can then cook and eat the Mandrake after using the campfire. If you're looking to complete more badges, finishing Applied Esoterica can be a good choice if you're playing with your buddies.
