Arc Raiders Quest Guide: All Quests, NPCs and Rewards
Arc Raiders Quests Guide – Full Overview
Our Arc Raiders Quest Guide walks you through all available missions in the game and explains how they work, what each NPC offers, and which quests are worth prioritizing. You’ll see how to progress through all 64 quests, what items and tools you’ll need, and how to turn questing into a steady source of gear, materials, and blueprints.
Arc Raiders Quests – Key Points
Arc Raiders currently has 64 quests, grouped between five NPCs in Speranza.
Quests gradually increase in difficulty, moving from simple scavenging to multi-step late-game objectives.
Some missions require specific tools or items (Burlettas, EMPs, keys, scanners, etc.).
Many quests are chained – the next one only appears after you complete the previous step.
Rewards include weapons, augments, cosmetics, crafting materials, keys, and utility items.
How Quests Work in Arc Raiders
Quests are the main structured progression layer in Arc Raiders. They’re given by quest-giver NPCs in Speranza and are designed to:
Teach core mechanics (movement, combat, looting, extraction).
Push you into new regions and POIs.
Reward you with items you’d otherwise farm much longer for.
A typical quest will ask you to:
Visit a specific region or building.
Loot containers or search objects.
Destroy certain ARC enemies or bosses.
Deliver items back to an NPC or extract with them safely.
As you move deeper into the quest chains, objectives start to span multiple maps and several steps in one run. Some late-game quests become significantly easier with a coordinated squad rather than solo play.
If you only care about the rewards and don’t want to deal with failed extractions, key hunting, or tricky enemies, this entire quest layer can be outsourced to a boosting/questing service while you focus on pure gameplay later.

Best Arc Raiders Quests (Early, Mid, Late Game)
Best Early-Game Quests
Early quests should be fast, simple, and rewarding:
Picking Up the Pieces – Teaches basic looting and rewards a good early weapon.
Clearer Skies – Introduces ARC combat and drops useful medical gear.
Trash Into Treasure – Easy scavenging with handy tactical rewards.
A Bad Feeling – Gets you used to tracking ARC Probes/Couriers.
Off the Radar – Simple repair job that teaches Field Depot locations.
These are perfect when you’re still learning the maps and don’t want to risk losing rare gear.
Best Mid-Game Quests
Mid-game quests start combining multiple objectives and maps:
Into the Fray – Teaches you how to handle Leapers and rewards a strong weapon.
Eyes in the Sky – Spreads you out over three maps and trains route planning.
A Balanced Harvest – Leads you into Dam research complexes with good material rewards.
Back on Top – Makes you explore vertical spaces and tag key structures.
Greasing Her Palms – Takes you through several important industrial and control locations.
These missions reinforce navigation, multi-step planning, and efficient use of time in each raid.
Best Late-Game Quests
Late-game quests are high risk, high reward and usually involve rare enemies or multi-location chains:
The Trifecta – Hunting Wasp, Hornet, and Snitch prepares you for airborne threats and gives strong utility rewards.
Unexpected Initiative – Rooftop route quest with valuable weapon rewards.
Straight Record – Disabling EMP traps and generators in a contested area teaches hazard control.
Our Presence Up There – Power and antenna work with enemies nearby; good preparation for complex objectives.
Medical Merchandise – Multi-map farming quest for high-value medical supplies.
These are worth prioritizing once you’re comfortable with enemy types and have stable builds.
Arc Raiders Quests FAQ
How many quests are there in Arc Raiders?
There are 64 quests in total, split across five NPCs: Shani, Celeste, Tian Wen, Apollo, and Lance.
Can I complete Arc Raiders quests solo?
Yes. Almost all quests can be completed solo, but some late-game missions with heavy ARC presence or multi-step objectives are much easier with a team watching your back.
Can quests be repeated?
No. Standard quests are one-time only. Once completed, you keep the reward and the quest is permanently marked as finished. There are no daily or weekly quest resets at the moment.
Why don’t some quests show up for me?
Most missing quests are locked behind previous steps in the same NPC’s chain. If a mission doesn’t appear, check whether you’ve finished the earlier ones from that quest-giver.
Are there daily quests in Arc Raiders?
No, Arc Raiders doesn’t use a daily/weekly quest model. The 64 quests are permanent, fixed objectives.
Which NPC should I prioritize first?
For a smooth start:
Shani – good mix of combat and utility rewards (weapons, shields, keys).
Tian Wen – weapon mods, blueprints, and ammo support.
Then shift to Celeste and Lance for materials, utilities, and medical supplies.
What if I’m stuck on a specific quest?
Check:
Whether you’re in the correct region and sub-location.
If everything must be done in one round (many Celeste quests require this).
If a key or item is needed in advance (Burletta, Wires, Batteries, etc.).
If it still feels too punishing, you can always let a pro team handle that quest chain for you while you focus on other content.
Conclusion
Arc Raiders quests are much more than simple errands – they quietly teach you the entire game: how to move, how to fight, where to loot, and what’s hidden in each corner of the world. By working through all 64 missions, you’ll collect a huge stash of gear, cosmetics, crafting materials, keys, and blueprints, while naturally mastering the maps and ARC enemy types.
Whether you’re pushing early progression, hunting late-game rewards, or just trying to clean up the entire quest log, using this structured overview and picking the right quests at the right time will save you a lot of wasted raids. And if at any point you’d rather skip the trial-and-error phase, you can always rely on experienced Raiders to clear specific quests or chains for you and hand you back a much stronger account.
