ARC Raiders - Quest Guide: A Better Use

Overview
"A Better Use" is a pragmatic supply-acquisition quest issued by Tian Wen, reflecting internal tensions within Speranza regarding resource allocation. Expressing frustration over Celeste's policy of airdropping supplies for Raiders to compete over, Tian Wen tasks you with directly securing a Supply Drop for more controlled redistribution. This mission reinforces gameplay mechanics involving Call Stations and contested loot, while rewarding valuable weapon attachments.

Quest Giver & Narrative Context

  • Issued by: Tian Wen

  • Context: "We're short on everything but mouths to feed, yet Celeste's launching precious supplies into the air for Raiders to claw over. I'm done letting the good stuff go to waste."

Objectives

  1. Request a Supply Drop from a Call Station

    • Locate and interact with a Call Station (marked on the map) to signal for a drop.

  2. Loot a Supply Drop

    • Reach the drop pod after it lands and retrieve its contents before other Raiders or ARC forces can claim it.

Rewards

  • Extended Light Magazine I – Increases ammunition capacity for light weapons.

  • Muzzle Brake II – Reduces recoil for improved control.

  • Stable Stock I – Enhounces weapon stability during sustained fire.

Strategic Execution Guide

  1. Preparation Phase:

    • Choose a map with predictable Call Station locations, such as Dam Battlegrounds or Buried City.

    • Equip for mobility and combat—drops attract attention from both Raiders and ARC.

  2. Calling the Drop:

    • Locate a Call Station (often found near landmarks or Raider structures).

    • Activate it to request the Supply Drop; note the incoming drop location marked on your map.

  3. Securing the Drop:

    • Move quickly toward the landing site; drops are often contested.

    • Consider approaching from cover and clearing any nearby threats before looting.

    • In squad play, coordinate one member to loot while others provide security.

  4. Extraction:

    • Once looted, the objective is complete. Extract immediately or continue the round with your new attachments equipped.

Key Considerations

  • Contested Zones: Supply Drops can become PvPvE hotspots—stay alert.

  • Timing: Call the drop early in the round to allow time for securing and potential conflict.

  • Risk vs. Reward: The attached weapon mods significantly improve combat effectiveness, making this quest highly valuable for progression.

Lore & Faction Dynamics
This quest highlights the philosophical divide within Speranza’s leadership: Celeste’s merit-based distribution versus Tian Wen’s utilitarian approach. It adds depth to the world by showing that not all allies agree on how to survive in the post-collapse landscape.
