The 'Tracks of the Beast' quest in Arc Raiders is an early objective that players will likely encounter during the 'Frozen Trail' update. This mission requires visiting two distinct locations, marking two enemy types, and optionally defeating specific foes to collect loot for a quest giver. Crucially, all objectives must be completed within a single round.
'Tracks of the Beast' Objectives
The quest comprises six steps, with two being optional. While they can be completed in any order, all must be finished within the same game session.
- Travel to the Northern Tracks on Pendola Pass.
- Locate the destroyed station at the end of these tracks.
- Ping a Bully.
- Ping a Skulker.
- Destroy three Skulkers (Optional).
- Deliver a Skulker Targeter to Shani (Optional).
Navigating to the Northern Tracks and Destroyed Station
To begin, players must reach the Northern Tracks, situated on the northernmost section of Pendola Pass. This area is clearly marked as the top region on the in-game map. Several southbound railway lines will lead you to the correct area.
The destroyed station is identified as Almatera Station. This location is marked on the map and can be found adjacent to Porta Benvenuti and the Frozen River. Entering Almatera Station will fulfill the second objective.
Following these steps, the quest requires players to ping both a Bully and a Skulker. These enemies are commonly found on Pendola Pass. It is advisable to avoid direct confrontation with the Bully, as it is relentless once alerted. If players manage to defeat three Skulkers, they should ensure they extract with at least one Skulker Targeter.
Completing the first four objectives and returning to Shani yields 5,000 XP, three showstoppers, and a grappling hook. Successfully delivering a Skulker Targeter provides the player with the item and an additional wolfpack grenade, which are noted as being more difficult to craft in the current game state.
