How To Complete The Right Tool in Arc Raiders: Step-by-Step Guide

This quest is a focused hunt for three ARC types in one raid. You get a Ferro IV, which melts machines quickly, so use it instead of risking your own gear unless you prefer a free kit to avoid losses. Head to Research & Administration first for the heaviest ARC activity, or Water Treatment if you want fewer players. Ping ARC units to confirm names before shooting so you do not waste time on the wrong target.

The Right Tool Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Enter Dam Battlegrounds and move toward Research & Administration for fast contact. Use the Ferro IV and stay behind cover, as Fireballs rush and Turrets hold angles. Hit Fireballs before they ignite, peek Turrets from behind hard cover, and shoot Hornets in the thrusters when they hover. Once all three are down, avoid greedy fights and head straight to extraction. Surviving matters more than extra loot here.

Accept the quest from Tian Wen and equip the Ferro IV.

Enter Dam Battlegrounds and head to Research & Administration or Water Treatment.

Ping enemies to confirm Fireball, Turret, and Hornet targets.

Destroy the Fireball by backing up and shooting the weak point.

Destroy the Turret by peeking from cover and firing controlled shots.

Destroy the Hornet by shooting thrusters while staying behind cover.

Extract safely and talk to Tian Wen.

After the last kill, extraction locks your progress. Return to Tian Wen to finish and receive a Stitcher II, Extended Light Mag I, and the Cheer emote. These items support early firepower and ammo efficiency.

Arc Raiders Beginner Tips

Builds matter because they shape every fight and extraction. Pick one lane — like long-range rifles or close-range flanks — and support it with perks and gear. A focused setup wins raids and keeps your stash growing.

Keys open silent exits and locked rooms with safe loot paths. Always check bodies and loot tech crates; buy or craft keys when available. One good key can turn a risky run into a calm extraction.

Weapon crafting in Speranza builds long-term strength. Salvage scrap and blueprints, return to base, and upgrade gear without timers or limits. Each upgrade increases control, damage, or utility, keeping you ready for harder zones.
