ARC Raiders – All NEW Quest Locations & How to Complete Them in Cold Snap

The recent Cold Snap update for ARC Raiders introduced several new quests. We’ll guide you through finding these new locations and finishing the quests.

We’ve added six new quests to the game, available on different maps. The good news is you don’t need the Cold Snap event to be running to complete them, so you can work through them whenever you like.

Read on and let us go into details for every quest!

Cold Snap Quests | Locations and How to Complete

A Toxic Trail

To complete this task, head to the northern section of the Water Treatment Control building within the Dam Battlegrounds map.

As you can see, locate the Flood Spill Intake – it’s a wastewater drain shaped like a barrel. Just getting close to it will finish the first part of the quest. It’s unpleasant, but someone needs to check it out!

After you’ve finished that, head west into the swamp. You’ll see an old, abandoned truck with several barrels nearby.

When you get close to the truck, you’ll be asked to do two things. First, take a picture of the barrels in the truck bed. After that, click on one of the front wheels.

Once you’ve investigated the truck, you’ll have completed all the necessary steps! Now, all that’s left to do is gather your information and submit your report to finish the quest.

Paving the Way

This task is a little different because it simply asks you to go to “any ENELICA building” without giving a specific location. A convenient option for this quest is the Pipeline Tower in the Dam Battlegrounds map, which is shown on the map above.

After you get to the Pipeline Tower, ride the zipline to the top. Then, turn left and look for a notice board you can interact with. Checking the notice board will finish the first part of this quest.

Okay, so you don’t actually need to go to that one particular building to do this quest – any ENELICA building will work! Just be aware that the notice board you need will be in a different spot depending on which building you choose. But hey, at least now I know what I’m looking for, which is a relief!

Now that’s finished, head to the Piazza Roma area on the Buried City map. Go inside the building located in the southwestern part of that area, as illustrated in the image.

After you get to the building, simply go up the stairs to the roof. This will finish the task of reaching the floor above Convinio.

Once the objective is finished, go down one flight of stairs from the rooftop and into the researcher’s apartment. Use the computers inside to finish the last step of the quest. Then, just collect your data and report what you found, like you normally do!

Deciphering the Data

To continue this quest, go to the Fuel Control building, which is located in the eastern section of the Spaceport map.

After you get inside the building, head to the dark room located on the southwestern side. You’ll see a terminal you can use labeled “Decrypt Data.” Interact with it to finish the first task.

Next up, you’ll need to go northwest to the Arrival Building, shown above.

Okay, so for this quest, I need to head up to the very top of the Arrival Building. Once I’m there, I gotta find the server room – it’s on the southwest side and looks like I can break in. Inside, there’s a terminal I need to use to decrypt some data. That should wrap things up and finish the quest!

The Stench of Corruption

Remember, you need to complete this entire quest in one go without stopping. To begin, head to the Departure Building located in the Spaceport.

To get there, head to the southwest lobby on the ground floor. From the lobby, go out the north exit to find the Staff Room.

In the staff locker room, find the white hazard suits on the rack. Search them to get the Flushing Terminal Key.

Now, go to the tunnels located in the middle of the Spaceport map. You can enter through any of the openings you see on the ground.

Next, find the computer terminal in the middle of the tunnel – it’s the one you use with the Flushing Terminal Key. Once you’ve used the key on the terminal, you’ll have finished this quest!

The Clean Dream

To complete this quest, head to the tunnels located in the center of the Spaceport map. You can access them through any of the openings on the surface in that central area, as we discussed earlier.

Once you enter the tunnels, your task is to open and collect items from four containers. It doesn’t matter which ones you choose – any four will work! Feel free to explore and gather loot as you go.

Once you’ve completed that step, locate and keep an eye on the tunnel’s filtration systems. There’s a simple one located in the center of the tunnel, as shown in the image.

Now, head to the Maintenance Bunker on the Blue Gate map to get what you need from the Spaceport.

After you arrive, head down into the bunker and locate the large purification tank. Then, interact with it to check its status, just like you did before.

Next, head upstairs from where you purified the water and go into the room you find there. You’ll see some blueprints on a table – take a picture of them, and you’ll finish the quest!

Groundbreaking

Your last task will take you to Pilgrim’s Peak, which is located in the northeast section of the Blue Gate map. Don’t forget to bring the Blue Gate Communication Tower Key you earned during this quest!

After you get inside the building, look for the room on the east side. It’ll likely be locked, and you’ll need the Blue Gate Communication Tower Key to open it – unless someone else has already done so. Once inside, be sure to check the whiteboard.

After inspecting the whiteboard, you need to go directly south to the Abandoned Housing Project.

Head into the construction zone and look for a hill. From the top of the hill, you’ll be able to see the whole area. Once you’re there, take a photo – that completes the quest!

Here’s a complete guide to all the new quests added in the ARC Raiders Cold Snap update, including how to finish them. Need help finding Candleberries for the current event? We’ve got a guide for that too!
