The Flashpoint Update is live, and it comes with a myriad of new features, QoL improvements, balance updates, and new quests.

Arc Raiders Outstanding Balance Quest Guide
The Flashpoint Update is now live, and one of the first things you'll want to do is to complete a set of exciting new quests that were added with it. The new patch comes with several new quests, and one of the first things you'll want to do is complete a set of exciting new quests that were added with it. The new patch comes with several new quests, and two of them are located on the Blue Gate map.
Naturally, that's where you will want to go first. The easier of the two quests on that map is called Outstanding Balance, given by Tian Wen at Speranza, and this guide covers the exact location of every required item and how to complete the quest in a single run.

Dodger's Stash inside the Traffic Tunnel Location
The Arc Raiders Outstanding Balance quest is about Tian Wen sending you on a mission to find a guy she had a deal with, who has mysteriously disappeared. Well, she doesn't really care about the guy (called Dodger), but she does care about the goods she was supposed to get from him. For that, you'll need to go to the Blue Gate map and search for Dodger's Stash inside the Traffic Tunnel. Here's how to do it.
- Start a match on the Blue Gate map.
- Head to the Checkpoint POI.
- Enter the Traffic Tunnel via the Outer Gates POI (or access it via the Headhouse stairs, but that's all the way on the other side of the map).
- Once inside, head all the way to the very end of the leftmost lane of the tunnel (check out the maps below for reference).
- Once there, check the right corner of the dead-end tunnel. Look for a large blue tarp as a landmark.
- You’ll find a cage-like rack with some boxes inside.
- Approach it, and you’ll be prompted to search Dodger's Cache.
- Interact with it by pressing E, wait for it to complete, and that's it!
This will complete the first part of the quest. Searching the cache will trigger a booby trap and reveal that the stash is empty - Dodger moved his goods. Unlike many quests of this type, there will be no items to pick up upon finishing the interaction with Dodger's Cache, so don't worry about it - just head directly to the next location. Make sure to check out the images below so you know exactly where you need to go for the first part of the quest.
PRO TIP: All maps are currently extremely dangerous due to a massive number of new and old Arcs relentlessly pursuing Raiders (Bastion, Shredders, Comets, Fireballs), so be extra careful not to die while working on completing this quest, especially on the Checkpoint POI as well as inside the tunnels. If you play solo, joining forces with other players is highly advisable.
Dodger’s Deal Spot Near the Pilgrim’s Peak Antenna Location
The second part of the quest will require you to search for Dodger's Deal Spot near the Pilgrim's Peak antenna. Pilgrim's Peak is a POI on the Blue Gate map located in the northeastern part of the map, so be careful while traveling there, because in order to complete the Arc Raiders Outstanding Balance quest, you will need to complete all parts of the quest in a single round without dying. Here's how to do it:
- Head to the Pilgrim's Peak POI on the Blue Gate map (after you complete the first part of the quest).
- There are several antennas there, but you’ll want to enter the largest one (check out the image).
- Inside the antenna, at the bottom, there is a zipline you can use to reach the top.
- However, the Arc Raiders Outstanding Balance Dodger's Deal Spot is not at the top.
- There is a level inside the antenna just below the top level. You will need to manually jump onto it while going down or up (check out the image so you know what you are looking for).
- Once inside that second-to-last level, the Dodger's Deal Spot item will be in a yellow duffle bag between two red machines.
- Approach it, and you will be prompted to search Dodger's Bag.
- Interact with it, and upon completion, it will drop a Dodger's Note item.
- Make sure to pick it up manually! It will not be automatically added to your inventory.
And that's it - you’re almost done! What I strongly recommend now is to immediately (but carefully) run to the nearest extraction point, be it a hatch or a shaft. If you die before delivering Dodger's Note to Tian Wen, the quest will not be completed, and you’ll need to do it all over again.
Because the Outstanding Balance quest requires you to extract with Dodger's Note at the end, do not use a free loadout for this run. A Looting MK.1 is more than sufficient. More importantly, if you have an augment with a safe pocket, equip it and store Dodger's Note inside it once you pick it up. This protects the quest item if you go down before reaching extraction, saving you from having to redo the entire quest from scratch.
Congrats on completing the quest, and while you're here, make sure to check out our other articles in the dedicated Arc Raiders section, with more news, guides, walkthroughs, and everything else Arc-related.
