With nearly all above-ground structures destroyed in Arc Raiders, humanity has moved underground to a massive city called Speranza. They do their best to keep things running using materials collected by Raiders.
Powering an entire underground city is a big challenge. Besides generators, Speranza depends heavily on solar power since there’s plenty of sunlight. Solar energy is a simple, safe, and effective way to generate electricity. While ARC might overlook solar panels, nature can cause problems for them now and then.
How to Repair the Solar Panels
In the game, after completing Shani’s quest, Eyes In The Sky, a new quest called After Rain Comes unlocks in the Buried City. Celeste asks you to repair flooded solar panels, which is one of the few quests that requires you to find or bring specific items.
Pro tip: If you can do Tian Wen’s quest, Eyes On The Prize, at the same time, you should. Both tasks need Wires to repair or modify things, so bringing enough Wires for both saves trouble.
The solar panels are located between the Grandioso Apartments and the Old Town Hatch in the western part of the Buried City. They sit in a large puddle of water.
To fix the panels, you need five Wires and two Batteries. It’s best to gather these items beforehand from your stash because Wires and Batteries are rare, mainly appearing as loot from the Commercial, Medical, and Old World categories.
You’re more likely to find Wires and Batteries in Dam Battlegrounds or the Spaceport. These areas tend to have lots of tech and electrical supplies, especially at Dam Battlegrounds.
How to Gather the Materials
If you forget to bring Wires and Batteries, look near the center of the map at Research and Space Travel buildings. The Parking Garage also often has some in the wrecked vehicles.
You can also salvage items like Power Cables, Damaged Heat Sinks, and Industrial Batteries, which can be broken down into Wires and Batteries.
Bring these items to the solar panels near Grandioso Apartments. When close, interact with the yellow power box nearby to start the repair, which will show you the needed materials.
After the repair, you’ll complete the main objective of the quest. You can choose to exit the area and return to Speranza or explore more, such as the Space Travel building, to gather extra loot.
Once back in Speranza, talk to Celeste in the Traders tab to finish the quest. You’ll earn experience points, five Blue Raider Flares, three Antiseptics (used to craft Sterilized Bandages and Vita Spray), and five Durable Cloth (used for Herbal Bandages).
