ARC Raiders: A Prime Specimen Quest Walkthrough

There aren’t many satisfying feelings like taking apart a newly created ARC unit, emptying out all of its components. It might not be perfect, but in this difficult world, it’s the best revenge we can hope for.

In ARC Raiders, enemies will actively try to defeat you with gunfire and rockets. However, you’ll quickly discover that even when destroyed, these ARC Machines remain a threat and will still try to harm you.

Facing a Prime Specimen presents a dangerous challenge – you’ll have to brave intense heat and risk severe burns to succeed and uncover hidden truths. Prepare yourself, because things are about to get fiery!

Quest Requirements

You must finish the quest called “The Clean Dream” before you can start this one. “The Clean Dream” is part of the Blue Gate series of quests.

This quest can be tricky because other players might be trying to complete it at the same time. Once someone takes the item from the Deforester, no one else can, so it can only be done twice in each game. It took me several tries to get close enough and solve the puzzle.

It’s a good idea to bring some Adrenaline Shots so you can get to the Deforester point quickly. Also, if you’re planning on collecting items, bring a powerful weapon to protect your loot from being stolen.

Walkthrough

First, you’ll need to collect 2 ARC Powercells. You can find these by searching the map or bringing them with you when you start. They’re very common – you’ll find them on all ARC units, and even on the broken ones lying around.

You might not complete the little puzzle the first time around, so bring four cells just in case.

Now, you need to locate an ARC Deforester on the Blue Gate map. You can find two of them in these locations:

  • Southwest of the Adorned Wreckage
  • East of the Maintenance Bunker

The entrance is shaped like a wide, open tube with a platform inside. If you’re having trouble locating the right machine, watch for blue sparks – that’s where you insert your ARC Powercell.

After placing the first cell, the Deforester will shoot out a ring of fire. Watch for an opening in the flames, then quickly dive roll through it. Once you’re safely through, you can place the second cell.

Now, the upper platform will activate, and the flames will change, shooting out in four directions instead of all at once.

Go back through the flames and climb up to the platform above. If you stand right at the edge of the curved wall, you should be able to jump and reach it.

When you reach the platform, it might seem dangerous with the fire, but you can safely jump through to the other side. You can only open the treasure chest while the fire is still active, but you have plenty of time, so take your time and don’t rush.

It’s a bit disappointing, but your efforts mostly reward you with some basic ARC metal scraps and a few advanced mechanical parts. I was really hoping for materials to make something truly special, but it doesn’t quite work out that way.

Rewards

This is the last quest in a series. If you finish it, you’ll receive these items:

  • 1x Patrol Car Key
  • 3x Door Blocker

To use the Patrol Key, go to the Underground complex on the Blue Gate Map and unlock the heavily armored vehicle with it.
