I ran into the blinking red terminal halfway through a Flashpoint run and thought, not again. You get the quest, you land on Stella Montis, and suddenly a tiny objective is the difference between a clean run and wasted time. I’ll walk you through the exact stops so you finish Fragmented Logs without backtracking.
I’ve chased these POIs across dozens of runs on Steam and watched speedrunners shave seconds off this exact route on YouTube. Treat this as a field notebook: short, intentional steps, and one Electrical Component in your pocket will save you headaches.
Control rooms tend to hide in plain sight — Repair the out-of-service terminal with an Electrical Component in either of the Sandbox control rooms
Real-world observation: utility closets usually sit between busy rooms. The Control Room POI sits between the two Sandboxes on Stella Montis — head to the southern control room for the fastest hit.
You’ll see an out-of-service terminal on the southern wall. Interact and choose the option to repair. The interface asks for an Electrical Component; that single item will complete the task. If you’re running with a squad, tell them to hold fire while you fix the terminal — the timer rewards flow faster than you think.
Where is the out-of-service terminal in ARC Raiders?
It’s in the Control Room between the two Sandboxes on the southern side of Stella Montis. If you’ve pinged the Sandbox POI, aim for the door that faces the pair and you’ll find the terminal along the southern wall.
The power switch sits in a tucked-away corridor — Enable the power in any of the conduit backrooms near the Robotic Sandboxes
Real-world observation: electrical panels are almost always off the main walkway. From Robotic Sandbox A, move east toward Control Room A3 and you’ll find a conduit backroom with a terminal switch on the right-hand wall.
Interact with that switch to flip the main power. If you’re racing time, sprinting from the repaired terminal to Sandbox A is the cleanest loop. I recommend calling the switch so your teammates don’t pull enemies through the doorway while you’re toggling power.
How do you repair the terminal with an Electrical Component?
Open the terminal prompt in the Control Room and select the repair option. The UI consumes one Electrical Component from your inventory; a single component will finish the action and credit the task.
Archives often hide the last console in a corner — Boot the mainframe data terminal in the Cultural Archives service backrooms
Real-world observation: research rooms tuck their servers into service chambers in the southeast. The Cultural Archives POI contains a southeastern chamber with the main data terminal.
Walk into that chamber, interact with the mainframe, and boot it. Booting the mainframe is a key turning in a lock — it finishes the quest and opens the reward node.
What rewards do you get for Fragmented Logs?
Completing the three tasks grants three Showstopper and three Trailblazer items. Players on Discord and Steam threads have reported consistent drops across solo and group runs; Moyens I/O’s screenshots confirm the in-game reward screen.
Quick strategy notes: bring exactly one Electrical Component if you want the lightest loadout. If you stream runs on Twitch or share clips to YouTube, call out which POI you hit first — teams that synchronize tend to clear the map faster.
If you want to optimize runs further, watch speedrunners who focus on POI loops and study minimap patterns; the route through Stella Montis becomes a circuit map when you trace the shortest hops between objectives.
Finished the quest, claimed the rewards, and still think this route favors teams more than solo players — do you agree?
