MMOexp ARC Raiders: Investigating the Missing Engineer - Stellaol - 14-11-2025
The Electrical Substation is located at the southernmost end of ARC Raiders Coins 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 secure your progress and loot.
Since you're at the far south of the Spaceport, the closest elevators are quite a distance away. You have two main options for extraction:
South Elevator (northwest of your position): The safer option if you want to avoid the busier eastern routes.
East Elevator (northeast of your position): A more direct but potentially riskier path if other players or enemy patrols are active.
Before you start the long hike, take a moment to reload, heal up, and check your surroundings. If you've drawn attention from nearby enemies, clear them out or move stealthily to avoid unnecessary combat. The terrain around the substation is open, so make use of cover and avoid running in straight lines to reduce the risk of sniper fire or ambushes.
Tips for a Smooth Run
To make your Power Out run efficiently and safely, keep these tips in mind:
Plan your route early. Check your map as soon as you spawn to determine the best path south. Avoid high-traffic combat zones if possible.
Use terrain to your advantage. Hills, dunes, and wreckage offer good cover if you're spotted by raiders or automated ARC enemies.
Don't linger at the objective. Once the power is back on, you've got what you came for. The substation doesn't offer much loot, so move out quickly.
Stick to one extraction route. Changing direction mid-route can waste time and resources. Commit to either the South or East Elevator and go for it.
Why Power Out Matters
Although Power Out is considered one of the simpler side quests in ARC Raiders, it introduces key mechanics that prepare you for cheap ARC Raiders Coins more advanced missions. It teaches you how to investigate objectives, interact with environmental components, and navigate the vast open-world map efficiently.
