Solving ARC Raiders Music Notes Puzzle in Buried City – The Finals Easter Egg

The Buried City Music Puzzle, added in the Cold Snap update, challenges players to press 15 red buttons in a specific sequence matching the notes “CDDF AFG FGFGA CDD” on the music room wall next to the Red Tower.

Solving it unlocks a loot room with legendary guitars, shakers, recorders, and candle holders, followed by celebratory fireworks.
