Latest News About Communication Hideout Arc Raiders

Here’s the latest I can provide on the ARC Raiders “Communication Hideout” arc, based on recent guides and videos.

• What it is: A side quest in the Buried City map group, centered on restoring comms for the Red Tower in Old Town. It unlocks a local broadcast and offers in-game rewards and XP.[3][4]
• Typical objectives:
  • Reach the Red Tower in Old Town.[4]
  • Find a missing battery cell.[3][4]
  • Install the battery in the Generator.[4][3]
  • Enable power on the Generator.[4]
  • Boot the antenna terminal near the Red Tower (often on the roof or upper platform).[3][4]
• Common locations and route tips:
  • The Red Tower is a key landmark in the Old Town area of Buried City; use Plaza Rosa vicinity as your orientation.[1][4]
  • The missing battery cell is typically inside a marked container near the Red Tower area (interact to obtain).[3][4]
  • The generator for the tower is on the street near the tower; place the battery into its slot and switch it on.[4][3]
  • The antenna control is on the tower itself, often requiring a rooftop approach after powering up. Follow the interior stairs and exterior platform to reach the terminal.[1][4]
• Rewards you can expect:
  • XP (commonly around 25k in various guides), cosmetic items, and occasionally crafting materials or gear rewards depending on the session.[2][3]
• Difficulty and pacing:
  • Moderate, with potential enemy spawns or reinforcements after activating the generator. Plan for a quick clearance of the courtyard area before engaging the battery and generator steps.[2][4]

Illustrative path (example walkthrough):

• Head to Old Town, locate the Red Tower, and enter the surrounding courtyard.
• Find the battery in a nearby container or box, then return to the street to the generator.
• Install the battery, flip the generator switch to power, then climb up to the tower roof.
• Locate the yellow-marked antenna terminal on the roof, interact, and finish the quest.

If you’d like, I can tailor these steps to your exact map position in Santa Monica-area play sessions (e.g., if you’re coordinating with a squad and need a quick, 10-minute route). I can also pull together a concise, step-by-step checklist or a printable single-page guide for your next run.
