ARC Raiders: How to Complete ‘Worth Your Salt’ (Guide)

ARC Raiders: Headwinds Update 1.13.0 Patch Notes

I dropped into the Spaceport and felt the map tighten around me. A hum from the Rocket Assembly told me the puzzle was mostly about movement, not luck. You can finish this in one smooth run if you move with purpose.

I’ve run Worth Your Salt enough to skip the guesswork. I’ll show you the exact path, the handful of traps to avoid, and the single moment that turns a sloppy run into a clean one. Read it once, run it once.

ARC Raiders Worth Your Salt quest walkthrough

Observation: The quest starts at Celeste and lives entirely on the Spaceport map.

The mission is short but stepwise: find a hidden Battery Prototype, charge it at the Industrial Recharger, then deliver the charged unit to a drop-off box. I break it into clear moves so you don’t stall in a firefight or waste time hunting every corner.

  • Drop into the Rocket Assembly (near Fuel Control).
  • Climb to the high platform and grab the Battery Prototype.
  • Carry it to the Industrial Recharger and place it in the left pad.
  • Pick up the fully charged battery and deliver it to the corner drop-off box.

Go to the Rocket Assembly

Observation: The Rocket Assembly is a named POI and shows on your mini-map, so you won’t wander.

I treat the Rocket Assembly as stage one: land near Fuel Control and push toward the metal scaffolding. The Rocket Assembly sits like a rusted cathedral on the Spaceport, a beacon for anyone hunting loot or objectives. Get in, get high, and don’t dawdle — enemies love to camp bridges.

Search for the hidden Battery Prototype in a high place

Observation: The prototype is tucked near red lockers up a short stair run — it’s not on the floor.

When you enter from Fuel Control, hug the wall, take the red stairs to the bridge, then veer left. There’s a single metal box near the red lockers that triggers the interact prompt. Snatch it, and you’ve finished the second task before other teams have found the ladder.

Where is the Battery Prototype located?

It’s up on the platform by the red stairs and lockers. If you can’t find it, retrace the bridge path — there’s only one metal box that gives the interact prompt. Don’t waste time tearing apart the ground floor; that’s a classic time sink.

Bring the Battery Prototype to the Industrial Recharger

Observation: Two rechargers sit near a broken section of the metal bridge; the left pad is the one you use.

Carry the battery back across the bridge and drop down where the decking is torn. You’ll spot two chargers; slot the battery into the left machine. The charge completes automatically and the battery ejects when ready. Carrying the prototype feels like holding a heartbeat in your hands — move steady and don’t sprint into open sightlines.

How do I charge the Battery Prototype?

Place the prototype in the left Industrial Recharger pad and wait for it to finish; it ejects automatically when full. If you’re under fire, use cover nearby and don’t try to guard the charger from the middle of open ground—players will kite you into a bad trade.

Deliver the Charged Battery to the drop-off point in the corner

Observation: The drop-off box sits in the northern corner of the Rocket Assembly POI, on the ground.

Pick up the charged battery, run to the northern corner, and interact with the metal box on the ground. That action completes Worth Your Salt and hands you the reward: the Vita Spray Blueprint. It’s a simple reward, but it’s worth claiming before other teams rotate back through the area.

What reward do I get for completing Worth Your Salt?

You earn the Vita Spray Blueprint on completion. It’s a small cosmetic and progression nudge, but it’s an easy pickup that compounds over runs if you collect similar quest blueprints across the Spaceport.

Small choices win faster runs: drop-spot selection, the route up the red stairs, and whether you use the left or right charger when under pressure. I prefer a conservative path that trades a second of time for a guaranteed carry-out — it’s how you turn a one-off win into repeated gains.

Ready to take the Rocket Assembly and make that Vita Spray Blueprint yours — will you go fast and risk a pinch, or move methodically and lock it down?
