In ARC Raiders, quests are not just tasks; they enhance your gameplay by unlocking rewards, upgraded trader offers, and exclusive items. Among these missions, the Mixed Signals quest stands out, requiring you to find and eliminate a Surveyor to loot its Surveyor Vault. Here’s how you can tackle this quest efficiently.
Completing the Mixed Signals quest can be tricky if you’re not familiar with where to locate Surveyors or how to take them down effectively. But don’t worry; you’ll have the knowledge you need to succeed in no time!
1. Where to Find Surveyors and Loot the Surveyor Vault
This quest is assigned by Shani, the keen-eyed observer in Speranza. To complete it, you’ll need to:
- Defeat a Surveyor ARC.
- Loot its core part for the Surveyor Vault.
You can accomplish both tasks at once. Surveyors spawn across all game maps and are easily identifiable by their blue laser lighting up the sky. This laser is visible from a distance unless obstructed by buildings or trees, guiding you directly to them.
These Surveyors resemble black, circular ARCs that roll around, working for the game’s ruthless mechanical overlords. I frequently spot them in the Southwest parts of The Blue Gate and the Eastern side of The Buried City, though you’ll likely encounter them in any match.
Be aware that Surveyors are quick and will try to escape when you shoot at them. To make your hunt easier, equip a heavy-ammo weapon, such as an upgraded Ferro or a sniper rifle.
Having a weapon with strong ARC armor penetration will increase your chances of a successful hit. Notably, when Surveyors transmit their laser, they become vulnerable—exposing their insides for a clear shot. If you can afford to wait, take your time to line up your shot for an easy kill.
After you successfully take down a Surveyor, loot it to find the coveted Surveyor Vault, essential for completing the quest. Consider using an Augment to store the Vault safely in your pocket, ensuring you’ll keep it even if you meet an unfortunate end.
Once you have the loot, return to Shani to turn in your quest. You’ll earn a free Raider Hatch Key along with an extra valuable item as a reward!
