Arc Raiders: Guide to Completing 'A Path Not Yours' Quest

Players progressing through the Frozen Trail update quests in the cooperative shooter Arc Raiders will encounter 'A Path Not Yours,' a mission requiring the discovery of a Nomad trail. This guide outlines the steps to complete the quest, including finding the trail's beginning and end points.

Finding the Nomad Trail Start

To begin, launch a raid on the Blue Gate map and navigate to the southern area, specifically the Highway Collapse Point of Interest. Look for a glowing yellow marker, which indicates the start of the Nomad trail. Interacting with this marker will update your quest objective.

Locating the Nomad Hideout

Instead of meticulously following the trail markers, players can proceed directly to the Nomad hideout location. This will trigger the next stage of the quest, which involves finding a buried gift nearby. Head slightly southwest from the hideout and check behind a highway pillar. An interactable spot will reveal the 'Broken Compass.'

Retrieving Bilguun's Gift

After obtaining the Broken Compass, it is crucial to place it in your character's safe pocket. The quest then requires extraction from the map. Players are advised to extract via the Forest Airshaft if available, as it is conveniently located. For this quest, it is recommended to equip an augment with a safe pocket to securely store the item. Given that Blue Gate can be a challenging map, carrying a comfortable weapon, ample ammunition, and sufficient healing supplies is also advisable.

Upon successful extraction and completion of the quest, Ermal will reward players with various items, including Power Cables, Batteries, Magnets, and a Tellurion, which is described as an epic trinket. These items can be used for crafting or sold to increase a player's in-game resources. For further assistance with other quests in Arc Raiders, a comprehensive mission list is available.
