How to complete the First Foothold quest in Arc Raiders

 Magic Post

A first foot is one of the first major tasks you will face ARC Raiders. It serves as an introduction to Blue door map, helping you get comfortable with exploring and interacting across multiple objective areas. The quest sends you to four specific locations on the map, each requiring a different type of task, from stabilizing a dock to repairing roof panels.

In this article we will discuss how to complete the A First Foothold quest in ARC Raiders.


A guide to completing the ARC Raiders A First Foothold quest

Here is a detailed description of how to complete each objective in the A first anchor point assignment:

Objective 1: Stabilize the observation dock near the Ridgeline

Start by heading towards the ridge line region. Look for a raised metal platform; This is the observation dock that you need to stabilize.

Once you’re close enough, check around the support beams under the platform. You will see an option to “Stabilize the bridge.” Interact with him to achieve the first objective.

Make sure the area is clear of nearby enemies before interacting, as the animation can leave you exposed for a few seconds.


Objective 2: Activate the communications terminal near the Olive Grove

Next, head southwest from Olive grovewhere you will meet a little setting up the camp on the hillside. Inside, look for a yellow communication terminal.

Once you locate it, approach and interact with it “Activate communications terminal.” That’s all you need to do here to complete this task.

The terminal can be difficult to spot due to the foliage; Look for the yellow glow on the control panel to locate it faster.

Use the stacked boxes or scaffolding next to the church to go up. Once on the roof, look for a satellite dish. Interact with him to “Rotation of dishes” and complete this part of the mission. This area is quite open, so check for enemy patrols or drones before climbing up.


Objective 4: Nail the roof plates of the Raider structure near Trapper’s Glade

For the final objective, head to Trapper’s Gladea forested area to the west of the map. You will find a Raiders Outpost Structure 1 here with loose roof panels.

This final task requires you to repair the damaged roof near Trapper's Glade (Image via Embark Studios)This final task requires you to repair the damaged roof near Trapper's Glade (Image via Embark Studios)

Get on the roof. The area can be easily identified using the traffic cones placed around the damaged section. Interact with him to “Nail the roof plates”completing your final task of the quest.

This location is generally quiet, but end the interaction quickly in case any nearby Raiders get too close.

That’s everything you need to know about the ARC Raiders A First Foothold quest. Once all four objectives are completed, return to Apollo in Speranza to turn in the mission. Mining isn’t required, but it’s a good idea if you want to keep the loot you’ve collected.
