How to Complete the Straight Record Quest in ARC Raiders
As an earlier quest in ARC Raiders, Straight Record is, at the risk of a pun, pretty straightforward. The objective is simple: go to a specified location, interact with a few objectives, and collect your reward. However, the objectives aren’t immediately obvious, so in this guide, we’ll cover how to find them and complete Straight Record step-by-step.
Quest Overview
To complete Straight Record, you need to locate an EMP trap on the Dam Battleground and perform the following tasks:
- Turn off three power sources
- Turn off the EMP trap itself
The entire quest takes place in the northwestern portion of the Dam Battleground, just east of the Power Generation Complex in the Victory Ridge region. Victory Ridge spans from the Pale Apartments on the western edge of the Dam all the way to the West Broken Bridge in the north.
The EMP trap is nestled south of the interaction point, between the West Broken Bridge and the Ruby Residence points of interest. You’ll recognize it by the cluster of ruined buildings surrounding a central clearing.
Starting the Quest
After locating the EMP trap, interact with it to trigger the next set of objectives: finding and turning off three power switches.
Where to Find the First Power Switch
The first power switch is located mostly due north of the EMP trap on a ridge overlooking the clearing. If you approach from the south, the switch—more of a box, really—will be glowing yellow at the top. Head up to it and interact to power it down, which will progress you to the next objective.
Where to Find the Second Power Switch
The second power switch is found on the second level of a ruined red building east of the EMP trap. Use the breachable power box to climb onto the upper platform, then carefully navigate over to the switch. Once there, interact with it to turn it off and move on to the final power switch.
Where to Find the Third Power Switch
The third power switch lies south of the EMP trap. To find it, follow the power cable on the ground leading away from the clearing. Look for a small electrical pylon with a cable running south of it. Interact with the switch nearby to turn it off.
Completing the Quest
After disabling all three power switches, return to the EMP trap and turn it off to complete the quest.
Note that you don’t need to survive the raid to complete the quest. If you finish fast enough, you can proceed to loot and fight as usual. Even if you end up back in Speranza courtesy of another Raider, you can still visit Celeste to complete the Straight Record quest.
