Embarking on the new Pendola Pass map in Arc Raiders presents players with a variety of challenges, including the aptly named "Exploring Pendola Pass" quest. Completing this quest involves a series of objectives scattered across the map, requiring players to engage in combat, exploration, and interaction with specific environmental elements. Fortunately, with the right preparation and guidance, this quest can be efficiently resolved.
The "Exploring Pendola Pass" quest comprises four distinct objectives: destroying 20 ARC enemies, searching the control room at the Cielo Sereno Observatory, patching into an antenna atop a Railyard tower, and searching containers within the Commissary Supermarket. While the order of these objectives is flexible, players should ensure they bring a Zipline and a single Wire, as these items are crucial for completing certain tasks.
The first objective, destroying 20 ARC enemies, is a straightforward combat encounter that can likely be achieved organically while pursuing other goals. Players should focus on eliminating any ARC foes they encounter across the map, which can often be accomplished within one or two rounds.
Next, players must locate and search the control room at the Cielo Sereno Observatory. This observatory is situated in the northwestern region of the map. Upon arrival, players should ascend the stairs within the main building to find the control room in the central interior area. Interacting with the designated piece of technology within this room will mark the objective as complete.
Following the observatory task, the quest directs players to the Railyard, located on the eastern side of the map. Here, the primary challenge is reaching the tallest tower. Players can approach the tower from the south and then move to its eastern side to find a ladder leading to the roof. From the roof, a Zipline must be strategically placed to ascend to the tower's apex. Once at the top, players will use a Wire to patch into the antenna, fulfilling this objective.
The final objective requires players to search three containers inside the Commissary Supermarket, positioned in the center of the map. It is essential that players enter the supermarket's interior, as looting containers on the exterior will not count toward quest progression. Once all three interior containers have been looted, the quest will be completed, allowing players to claim their rewards and move on to other challenges.
