Arc Raiders: Field Depot Locations and Quests Guide

Field depot buildings are more than mere stops on your journey—they offer repeatable rewards and fuel quest completion. Let's dive into where to find them, what to do when you arrive, and how to maximize every depot run.

Where to find each field depot on the map

Field depots appear at consistent, recognizable locations, most notably in the Dam Battlegrounds, but also in maps like Acerra Spaceport and Buried City. On Dam Battlegrounds, you’ll find depots at:

• The passageway between Water Towers and Electrical Substation.​

• Near the hydroponic complex on the dam.
• Opposite the water treatment station, close to the research and admin buildings, and near extract elevators.

• At the top end of the map (visible as a cabin-like trailer with antenna).​

Depots are distinct structures that always feature a satellite dish or radar antenna on top, often resembling a repurposed oil tanker cabin or rusty trailer. You’ll only see their icons on the map when you’re nearby.​

How to complete depot quests in Arc Raiders

The process for using a Field Depot revolves around quest objectives like “Off The Radar” or “Down to Earth.” Here’s how to finish each main task:

How to repair a Field Depot antenna

Step 1

Locate the Field Depot—approach areas known to house them such as the Water Towers-Electrical Substation passage or near the hydroponic complex.

Step 2

Look for the building with a large antenna on top. Check inside the trailer for loot before focusing on your quest.

Step 3

Survey the area for other players or enemies, especially drones nearby.

Step 4

Find and climb the ladder attached to the depot.

Step 5

Interact with the antenna on the roof to initiate repairs. You may generate noise that attracts enemies—stay alert.

Step 6

After repairs, head for the nearest extraction elevator, or simply hand in the quest if you survive. Dying after finishing the repairs means you’ll need to redo the quest in another raid.​

How to deliver Field Crates to a depot

Step 1

Pick up a Field Crate found in buildings close to any Field Depot location.

Step 2

Carry the crate to the depot marked by the satellite dish.

Step 3

Interact with the Supply Station inside to hand over the crate.

Step 4

Collect your loot reward from the depot console.

Step 5

Optionally, repeat the depot’s crate puzzle for additional, refreshed loot pulls within the same raid.

What loot and rewards can you expect from depots?

Field depots are major loot hubs in the game. Interaction here offers:

Depots stack well compared to other supply types (like Supply Drops or Buried Caches), often delivering high tier loot, with up to 1 weapon and multiple consumables per run.

Tips for field depot success

• Use the free loadout if your sole aim is the quest—this simplifies extraction.
• Always check for enemies before interacting: repair noise can draw attention.
• If carrying a Field Crate, heading straight to the nearest depot is the quickest route for both quest completion and loot.
• Make habit of remembering depot satellite dishes—they’re universally used across all maps and streamline your runs.

Depots on other maps (Acerra Spaceport, Buried City) generally follow the same visual principle: look for the satellite antenna.

Mastering field depot runs in Arc Raiders streamlines both quest progression and loot gathering. Learn each building’s location, approach quietly, and always check for strategic opportunities to resupply and puzzle for bonus loot. Once you know the satellite dish symbol, you’ll never miss a depot again—and your quest runs will thank you for the efficiency.
