The A Rising Tide quest in ARC Raiders offers players an engaging story-driven operation that spans across multiple contested zones. Completing this assignment requires Raiders to navigate high-risk environments while solving environmental puzzles to uncover secret project details. By following a structured approach across Buried City and Dam Battlegrounds, players can finish every objective smoothly and secure valuable rewards.
Locating the Foreman's Apartment in Buried City
Your first primary goal begins on the Buried City map, where you must track down a barricaded apartment situated southwest of Piazza Roma. Players can reach the hidden entrance by using nearby rooftop ziplines or maneuvering through connecting bridge walkways between the residential blocks. Once inside the room, head directly to the electronic console located at the back desk to interact with the foreman's digital logbook.
After accessing the logbook data, your quest log automatically updates with instructions for the next location. Take a moment to search the room for optional supply containers before safely extracting from the area. Successfully leaving Buried City allows you to prepare your loadout for the second half of the operation.
Infiltrating the Dam Battlegrounds Power Complex
The next phase of the mission takes place on the Dam Battlegrounds map, focusing on the massive Power Generation Complex at the northern side. Upon reaching the designated landmark area, your objective shifts toward entering the nearby Controlled Access Zone. Players can gain entry into this restricted underground sector by locating an exterior ladder access point or navigating lower catwalks.
Be prepared for active ARC mechanical threats and potential enemy raiders patrolling the perimeter. Maintaining stealth or carrying adequate firepower ensures you can reach the lower levels without unnecessary complications.
Solving the Controlled Access Zone Power Puzzle
Inside the Controlled Access Zone, you will encounter a locked security room that requires electric power to open. To restore power, explore the lower swampy basement or surrounding metal walkways to locate a portable fuel cell battery. Carry the fuel cell back up to the main terminal panel and insert it to unlock the sealed office door.
Step inside the newly powered room to find a prominent whiteboard containing crucial reconstruction project plans. Interact with the board to photograph the evidence and complete the primary mission objective.
Extracting and Claiming Mission Rewards
With the photographic evidence secured, your remaining task is to extract safely back to base. You can utilize any nearby extraction elevator, such as the North Complex extraction point, to leave the sector. Upon returning to Speranza, speak with Celeste to hand in the quest and claim your well-earned equipment upgrades.
