Since its debut, Arc Raiders has become a major hit both within its genre and in the gaming world overall. The game is frequently updated with new gear, enemies, and maps, and nearly every month, the developers introduce a new set of quests that guide players to fresh locations.
An example of these quests is “Battening Down,” which is likely the first mission you’ll undertake for the Riven Tides map. This task involves visiting three specific spots on the northern part of the map, which can be tricky to find if you’re not familiar with the area.
Where to Find the Cracks in the Seawall
The first objective is to take a picture of cracks in the seawall on the Riven Tides map. Although there isn’t a place called the seawall, it generally refers to the northern part of the map. One of these cracks is located on the eastern side of the Wavebreaker area.
When zoomed in on the map, you can only see the Wavebreaker region towards the north. Head to this spot, then go east past one junction and drop down on the southern side of the wall. You’ll notice a graffiti-like marking on the wall, and the game will prompt you to take a picture of it.
Where to Find the Leaking Oil
Another part of the “Battening Down” mission involves fixing leaking oil. As you pass the wall, you’ll see several pipes carrying oil, but these are not the ones you need. Instead, focus on the northern side of the wall, far to the east of the map.
On the map, between the two rightmost junctions, you will see two pipes sticking out of the ground. When you approach these pipes, a prompt will appear to repair them, completing that step of the quest.
How to Sample the Shoreline
The most challenging part of the quest is sampling the shoreline. On the top left of the map, you’ll see the red Azzurro hotel area, with Azzurro Beach just above it. The sampling site is located to the north of this beach area, but the exact spot requires some searching.
As you move north of Azzurro Beach, get close to the water and look for dense clusters of seaweed. When you’re near the thickest group, you’ll be prompted to sample the seaweed, which completes this part of the quest.
