In ARC Raiders, locating LiDAR scanners is crucial for completing the quest "A Lay of the Land" and later for installing them in the quest "Eyes In The Sky".

LiDAR Scanner: Location

The primary location for LiDAR scanners is the Control Tower A6, a smaller square building adjacent to the main launch tower on the Spaceport map.

Upon entering, ascend to the upper floor.

Locate the scanners inside a small container cubicle shielded by metal barriers.

Pick up the LiDAR scanner.

This area is part of the quest "A Lay of the Land," which requires players to visit the Jiangsu Warehouse first to collect shipping notes before going to the Control Tower.

Locations for sensors similar to LiDAR

You can also find sensors similar to LiDAR devices in security and technical areas of the map. Lockers in research or administrative zones often contain these devices. Breaching lockers that look like standard equipment lockers can yield multiple sensors, making it a practical way to gather LiDAR scanners or components. Control towers, flight control buildings, and dam-related areas are hotspots for these devices.

How LiDAR scanners are used in quests

LiDAR scanners are used primarily for monitoring seismic activity and area surveillance within the game. In quests like "A Lay of the Land," players gather them to assist in keeping a roof over their head amidst tremors. Other quests involve setting up multiple LiDAR devices to track activity or progress through specific mission objectives.
