Arc Raiders Dust on the Wires – Old Raid Tower & Scout Patrol Location

What happened to the Scout Patrol in Arc Raiders?

Not sure where to find the terminal in the old Raider Tower, north of the Maintenance Hangar on the Arc Raiders Spaceport map? One of the new quests in the Flashpoint update is called Dust on the Wires, and it will have you moving around quite a few locations on Spaceport. In this guide, I'll help you find the traces of the scout patrol near the Maintenance Hangar in order to complete the quest.

Arc Raiders Dust on the Wires Quest Guide

Dust on the Wires is part of the second batch of quests you'll unlock at some point after completing the first few quests from the Flashpoint update. Shani has lost one of her scouting crews and is sending you to investigate what's going on. Just in case you have any trouble navigating the massive Spaceport map while completing this quest, here's a step-by-step guide for each part.

Visit Any Field Depot on the Eastern Side of the Spaceport

The first part of the Dust on the Wires quest is quite easy and rather self-explanatory. Head to the East Plains and find any Field Depot. You don't even need to deliver a Field Crate to it - you just need to find one in this part of the map. The easiest one to find is the one shown in the images below, so I recommend going there. But again, any Field Depot on the eastern side of Spaceport will do the trick.

Once you find one, enter it and interact with the computer (the one that usually has some loot inside). When you approach it, a prompt will appear saying RESEND LOG. Press E to interact with it and complete the first part of the quest. Upon completion, Shani will analyze the data and brief you on what's going on and where you need to go next.

Old Raider Tower north of the Maintenance Hangar

The second part of the Dust on the Wires quest will have you go west from your current location. You will have to find the old Raider Tower north of the Maintenance Hangar. Sounds easy enough, but you'll have to search a bit. If you don't want to waste time searching, you can instead check out my images below. Basically, the old Raider Tower is slightly north-west of the Maintenance Hangar, down the path which can be seen on the map.

When you reach the Tower, head all the way up to the top, and there you'll find another computer, where you will be prompted to RESEND LOG yet again. Press E to complete the process, then listen to Shani as she delivers another report on the situation. She will inform you that the team has regrouped outside the Spaceport perimeter. Something is definitely fishy, which leads us to the final part of the Arc Raiders Dust on the Wires quest.

Find Traces of the Scout Patrol Near the Maintenance Hangar

Luckily, for the final part of the quest, we don't need to go far. Turn back from the Old Raider Tower and head back towards the Maintenance Hangar. But instead of entering it, follow the path to the right of the entrance (the side of the Maintenance Hangar towards the Fuel Storage POI). Just follow the path down that side of the hangar, and you'll spot a mess on the road caused by an explosion. Approach the burned debris, and you will be prompted to TRANSMIT LOCATION.

Upon scanning the location, Shani will once again inform you that this wasn't planned and that they were doing something outside her orders. As a final task in this questline, you'll need to SEARCH FOR CLUES around the mess, and you will find the Scout Patrol Note item. Make sure to pick it up and bring it to Shani. Just don't die before you extract! And with that, the Arc Raiders Dust on the Wires quest is completed.
