How to complete the Dust on the Wires quest in Arc Raiders

Arc Raiders Dust on the Wires - Raider Tower.

The Dust on the Wires quest is one of the first you'll be greeted with when you load up Arc Raiders new Flashpoint update, and while it's relatively straightforward, it's got a lot of stages. You'll be heading to Spaceport for Shani to investigate the whereabouts of a missing scout patrol, which involves finding a Field Depot and a few other locations.

You'll also have to deliver an item back to her, so I'd suggest bringing a safe pocket to be on the safe side. All that said, here's how to complete Dust on the Wires in Arc Raiders.

Visit a Field Depot and use the Field Radio

This first step involves heading to either of the two Field Depots on the east side of Spaceport, though I personally recommend the southern one, marked above, between the Security Checkpoint to the south, and the Communications Tower to the north.

As with all Field Depots, it's easy to spot by the antenna on the roof. Once there, interact with the yellow-marked terminal on the desk inside.

Interact with the terminal in the old Raider Tower north of the Maintenance Hangar

Now head to the Maintenance Hangar (to the west of the Field Depot in the previous step), and keep your eyes peeled for a rusted metallic tower just to the north of it. This structure looks like it's made of scrap and is quite small, plus it's actually the tower in the quest image.

Climb the stairs around the outside and interact with the yellow-marked terminal inside.

Find traces of the scout patrol near the Maintenance Hangar and search the remains

Descend from the tower and head back towards the Maintenance Hangar. You'll want to circle around to its other side. Just to the southwest of the hangar, on the road, you'll find the traces of the scout patrol by an overturned trolley—interact with the "transmit location" prompt. Now head south down the road a little way and interact with the other overturned trolley by the barrel and the blue cloth.

This will produce the Scout Patrol Note, which you have to deliver back to Shani, so stow it in your safe pocket if you have one.
