What to know

  • Field Depots are large rectangular metal buildings with radar towers and blue tarps on the roof.
  • They are scattered across maps, with multiple fixed locations especially in Dam Battlegrounds.
  • Field Depots serve as quest points to repair radar antennas and deliver Field Crates for loot.
  • Nearby Field Crates must be carried to the Depot for rewards, but carrying slows your movement and disables gear use.

ARC Raiders Field Depots serve as quest-critical locations across maps, recognizable by their antenna and small cabin or RV-like structure. They mainly appear on the Dam Battlegrounds map at sites like between the Water Towers and Electrical Substation, Hydroponic Dome Complex, South Swamp Outpost, and Power Generation Complex.

Why do you need Field Depots in ARC Raiders

The “Off the Radar” quest in ARC Raiders is an early mission that tasks players with locating and repairing a Field Depot antenna to restore storm-disrupted communication signals. You’ll need to find hidden Field Depots, fix the radar antenna on their roofs, and complete the repair in one run before extracting safely. Finishing this quest advances your progress and rewards you with valuable gear like Remote Raider Flares—making it an important step for both new and veteran players.

Field crates and "Down to Earth" quest

Field Crates are large two-handed boxes found near depots that you must carry inside the depot to unlock supply containers for rewards. Carrying crates slows down your movement and disables gear use, so mobility skills are helpful. The "Down to Earth" quest requires delivering these crates for combat augments and shields as rewards.

Tips for finding Field Depots in ARC Raiders

You shall look for large rectangular metal buildings with radar towers and blue tarps on top; the distinctive antenna or satellite dish on the roof makes them easy to spot.

Also, use landmarks like Water Towers, Electrical Substation, Hydroponic Dome Complex, and Power Generation Complex to navigate toward known Field Depot locations.

Know that the depot icon only appears on your map when you are close, so approach key areas carefully and use visual scanning to pinpoint the depot.

Lastly, approach cautiously, as depots can be contested by enemies or other players; plan your route and use mobility skills to quickly complete quests involving Field Depots.

Field Depots are essential locations for progressing through key ARC Raiders quests like "Off The Radar" and "Down to Earth." By recognizing their distinctive appearance and using the Dam Battlegrounds map, you can efficiently find these depots and complete objectives. Carrying Field Crates to depots rewards valuable loot but requires careful planning and cautious movement.
