The "To the Skies" quest in Arc Raiders requires players to locate and assemble specific arc parts to repair a Gondola Prototype. This process is crucial for advancing in the game and shuttling raiders to Pendola Pass.
To successfully complete this objective, players will need to acquire four distinct components: Arc Performance Steel, a Pop Trigger, Arc Thermo Lining, and Arc Synthetic Resin. Arc Performance Steel can be salvaged from larger arc enemies such as Bastions, Bombardiers, Leapers, or Baron Husks. The Pop Trigger is obtained by salvaging smaller, explosive Pop robots or couriers. Arc Thermo Lining is found on Pops, Fireballs, or Baron Husks, while Arc Synthetic Resin is harvested from intact Arc Probes or Baron Husks. Many of these materials can also be found by salvaging defeated arc enemies, so players should remain vigilant for these resources throughout their missions.
Scanning Key Components
The initial step in the quest involves scanning a crashed Arc Probe and an Arc Courier. These interactable objects frequently spawn across various maps, but they are most reliably found under the Electromagnetic Storm condition. Players can scan these items by simply interacting with the designated icon once they are located.
Repairing the Gondola Prototype
Following the scanning objective, players must locate and repair the Gondola Prototype. While this can be done on any of the available maps, the Spaceport map offers a clear location: just east of the eastern exfil elevator, situated north of Communications Tower and south of the East Plains Warehouses. The prototype rests on crates near a raider structure. Once at the location, players need to install the previously gathered arc materials into the Gondola Prototype. After installation, interacting with the prototype will activate it, thereby completing the quest. It is advisable to move a short distance away from the gondola after activation.
