A reliable weapon and shield – Equip a mid-to-long range firearm for open encounters. A solid shield can save you from
ARCR Coins ambushes when moving through open ground.
Plenty of ammo and healing supplies – You'll likely have to fight or at least fend off a few enemies along the way, and the long distance means you won't want to backtrack for supplies.
A light inventory – You don't need to collect or carry many ARC Raiders Items for this mission. Travel light so you can move quickly and dodge more easily if you're attacked.
When you're ready, it's time to begin your journey south.
Finding the Electrical Substation
The Electrical Substation is located at the southernmost end of the Spaceport map. Depending on your spawn point, reaching it might take several minutes of running or gliding through scattered enemy zones.
Keep your eyes open for landmarks - the Spaceport area has large industrial structures and broken cranes that can help orient you. The further south you go, the quieter the area tends to become, though you might still encounter small patrols or environmental hazards.
Once you arrive, the quest will automatically update with a new objective: "Find signs of the missing engineer." This is your cue that you're in the right location.
Investigating the Missing Engineer
From where you enter the substation area, look around for an electrical box - it should be attached to a structure with visible wires and panels. This box will be the central focus of your task.
When facing the electrical box, turn to your left and you'll notice a small engineer's bag lying in the sand just a few steps away. Approach and interact with it. Inside, you'll find a key item needed to restore power - typically a fuse or tool component related to the substation.
Once you've collected the engineer's item, return to the electrical box.
Restoring Power
Now that you've got the necessary component, it's time to bring the lights back on.
Interact with the electrical box to place the item you found inside.
Once placed, you'll be prompted to activate the power. Confirm the action.
The substation will hum back to life, and you'll receive a confirmation message marking the quest as complete.
This moment also gives you a brief chance to look around the area - you'll notice lights flicker on and systems reboot, adding a nice touch of immersion to the quest's completion.
Mission Complete – Now for Extraction
With the Power Out quest complete, your next step is to get to safety. While you technically don't need to extract for the mission to count as finished, it's still a good idea to
ARC Raiders Coins secure your progress and loot.
