A Dead End Quest Guide in ARC Raiders
Where to Find the MANTIKOR Underground Facility?
After picking up the quest from Shani, load into the Blue Gate map and make sure you bring a proper loadout with a Safe Pocket, because at the end of the quest, you need to bring back an item with you to Esperanza, and a Free loadout does not offer a Safe Pocket. There are new ARCs that you can come across now, like the Comet and Firefly, that are armored, so bringing a Ferro or Anvil is recommended.
Once you load into the match, make your way to the left of Outer Gates on the map. There is a small entrance that is marked on the map once you get close to it. Your objective is to go to the Security Wing inside the facility. Head down the zipline, and this puts you near the MANTIKOR underground facility.
Go through the door and the corridor to find a locked gate on your left, which requires three battery packs. Look around the Security Wing for a small terminal that has these three battery packs, and you will have to carry them one by one back to the locked gate. Once the door is unlocked, head inside, and at the far right corner, you can interact to play a recording.
This will play a recording on the screen in front of you, and you will now need to find the Dusty Film Reel, which is to the left of the recording. Grab it, put it in your Safe Pocket, and go to the extract. Once you safely return to Esperanza, turn in the quest to Shani, and you will get the following rewards:
- Patchwork Outfit (Warden Color)
- 2,000 Coins
