How to Complete the Straight Record Quest in ARC Raiders
As an earlier quest in ARC Raiders, Straight Record is, at the risk of a pun, pretty straightforward. The objective is simple: go to a specific location, interact with a few objectives, and collect your reward. However, the objectives themselves aren’t immediately obvious. In this guide, we’ll cover how to find and complete the Straight Record quest step-by-step.
Quest Overview
To complete Straight Record, you need to:
- Find an EMP trap in the Dam Battlegrounds.
- Turn off three power sources.
- Finally, disable the EMP trap itself.
The entire quest takes place in the northwestern portion of the Dam Battlegrounds, just east of the Power Generation Complex in the Victory Ridge region. Victory Ridge covers the area from the Pale Apartments at the western edge of the Dam all the way to the West Broken Bridge in the north.
Finding the EMP Trap
The EMP trap is located south of the main interaction area, nestled between the West Broken Bridge and the Ruby Residence points of interest. You’ll recognize it by a collection of ruined buildings surrounding a central clearing.
Once you find the EMP trap, interact with it to begin the next phase of the quest, which involves locating and turning off three power switches.
Where to Find the First Power Switch
The first power switch is positioned mostly due north of the EMP trap, on a ridge overlooking the clearing. If you approach from the south, you’ll spot the switch glowing yellow on top.
Climb up to the switch and interact with it to power it down. This will unlock the next objective.
Where to Find the Second Power Switch
The second power switch is located on the second level of a ruined red building east of the EMP trap. To reach it, use the breachable power box to climb onto the upper platform. Carefully navigate across to the switch and turn it off to proceed.
Where to Find the Third Power Switch
The third power switch is found south of the EMP trap. To locate it, follow the power cable on the ground leading away from the clearing. Look for a small electrical pylon with a cable running south of it. Interact with the switch near the pylon to turn it off.
Completing the Quest
After disabling all three power switches, return to the EMP trap and turn it off. This final interaction completes the Straight Record quest.
Note that you don’t need to survive the entire raid to complete the quest. If you finish quickly, feel free to loot and fight on. Even if you end up back in Speranza due to another Raider, you can still visit Celeste and complete Straight Record.
