I remember the first time I dropped into ARC Raiders, wide-eyed and ready. The vast world felt like a playground, but that feeling evaporated the moment I got my first quest: Combat Recon. Completing it felt like a true victory, earning me rewards that actually made a difference.
The Combat Recon quest isn’t a sprint; it’s more of a marathon with several stages. Shani needs your help in the Buried City, and you’re the runner she’s counting on to retrieve a few… sensitive items. If you want to get it done quickly, here is your walkthrough:
ARC Raiders Combat Recon quest walkthrough
Imagine yourself as a scout, blending into the environment, observing. That’s what this quest asks of you. It’s like being a shadow, quiet and ever-present. Here’s how the Combat Recon quest breaks down:
- Scope out a cover spot in the Parking Garage staircases
- Scope out a cover spot in the buses near Marano Park
- Scope out a cover spot in the attics around Main Street
- Destroy two Spotters
- Deliver a Spotter Relay to Shani
First, you need to get to the Parking Garage staircases. The location of all three “scope out” spots are pinned on your map, just follow the breadcrumbs. The Parking Garage spot is behind a breachable door, so be ready for anything. Once you’re in the right place, the option to scope out will appear.
Where is Marano Park in ARC Raiders?
Next up: Marano Park, located in the map’s central area. You’re hunting for a couple of beat-up buses. One of them will show you exactly where to stand to finish your recon work. Just look for the highlight.
How do you find the attic on Main Street in ARC Raiders?
Think of Main Street as a stage, and the attics are your hidden vantage points. The final spot is tucked away in the attics on Main Street. Locate the marked building (as depicted above) at Plaza Rosa. Enter any ground-level entrance and use a zipline to reach the attic. The recon spot will be waiting.
Where Can I Find Spotters?
With the reconnaissance done, it’s time to get your hands dirty. Hunt down two Spotters, often found lurking on Main Street and other spots throughout the map. Salvage their remains for the Spotter Relay, then head back to Speranza. Successfully extract the item and deliver one Relay to Shani to wrap up the quest.
Now that you have the guide, what will you do with your rewards?
