The 'Wires Crossed' quest in Arc Raiders requires players to collect three specific Arc parts and attach them to antennas located on three different maps. While the game outlines the objectives, finding the parts and the interaction points can be challenging.
'Wires Crossed' Quest Objectives
The quest involves three main steps, which can be completed in any order:
- On The Blue Gate, attach a Snitch Scanner to the antenna at Pilgrim's Peak.
- On Spaceport, attach a Surveyor Vault to the antenna on top of the Launch Towers.
- On Buried City, attach a Sentinel Firing Core to the antenna on the roof of the Grandioso Apartments.
Attaching a Snitch Scanner at Pilgrim's Peak
To complete the first objective, players must first obtain a Snitch Scanner. These are acquired by defeating Snitches and looting them, and they are described as being relatively plentiful. Once obtained, travel to the Blue Gate map. Pilgrim's Peak is situated at the northernmost point of this map. Players will need to use a zipline located at the back of the area to reach the summit. Upon arrival, the antenna will be visible to the left, with a prompt to attach the Snitch Scanner.
Attaching a Surveyor Vault at the Launch Towers
For the second objective, players need a Surveyor Vault and must travel to the Spaceport map. Surveyors, the source of Surveyor Vaults, are described as large, non-hostile metal spheres that roll around the maps. They emit a blue beam of light into the sky, which can help in locating them. Surveyors can withstand significant damage, and their parts can be looted as they break off. Once a Surveyor Vault is acquired, players should head to the Spaceport map. The antenna is located on the western tower atop the central Launch Towers area, accessible via a zipline. An interaction prompt will appear on a small grey box on the tower.
Attaching a Sentinel Firing Core at the Grandioso Apartments
The final objective requires a Sentinel Firing Core. Sentinels are long-range sniper turrets that can be found in specific locations or looted from Arc Couriers, which are downed white Arc machines scattered across most maps. Some reliable spawn points for Sentinels include the southern corner of the Research & Administration building on Dam Battlegrounds, the eastern corner of the South Trench Tower on Spaceport, and the base of the tower at Pilgrim's Peak on Blue Gate. After obtaining a Sentinel Firing Core, players must go to the Buried City map and reach the roof of the Grandioso Apartments, using either internal stairs or a zipline. The target antenna is situated on the eastern side of the southern block, behind a white cylindrical tower.
Upon completing all three objectives, players can return to Celeste to receive their rewards: 8,000 XP, three electrical components, a Renegade I battle rifle, two ziplines, and two crash mats.
