On Deaf Ears is one of the quests added to Arc Raiders with the Headwinds update. The quest, which players can grab from Lance, has multiple objectives, all of which are on the Stella Montis map.

Since the map is already a hot zone for raiders, the quest can be difficult to complete, especially if the player does not know where to look. The guide below offers information on the quest and where players must go for every objective in Arc Raiders.

There are four different locations that you will have to visit to interact with computers. This is not one of the quests that require you to complete the whole thing in one round, so you do not have to worry if you get knocked out after the second or third objective. Once you are ready, grab a loadout that is good for Stella Montis.

Shotguns or weapons like the Stitcher or Bobcat are recommended, since most of the fights you will have with other raiders will be at close range.

The first location you need to visit is the reception, which is located near the entrance of the Business Center through the Lobby on the fourth floor. At the reception is a computer you can interact with to send data to Lance and complete the first objective.

Now, go straight ahead from the computer into the Business Centre, and to your right will be another computer that you need to interact with.

Once both of these steps are done, make your way to Medical Research, where you need to interact with any computer. There should be a few around the area, so you should not have a problem locating one.

After this, make your way to the Assembly Workshops for the final objective. In the room above, which you can reach by going up the ladder located next to the Hatch, is a box on the left that you need to search, and this completes the quest.

There is an issue with the final part of this quest, as searching the box will reset the animation, and your objective will not be completed. If this happens to you, then you need to extract successfully and retry the fourth objective again. If you surrender or get knocked out, the bug might persist, so extracting beforehand is recommended.

  • Lure Grenade x3
  • Noisemaker x5
