What to know
-
The quest step is to photograph the cracks forming in the seawall.
-
The seawall section is part of the Riven Tides area.
-
This objective comes after sampling the shoreline and before fixing the leaking oil pipe.
-
The safest approach is to head directly to the visible cracked wall section and interact once the prompt appears.
ARC Raiders’ Riven Tides questline keeps this objective straightforward: reach the seawall, find the cracked section, and complete the photo interaction. The important part is not the scenery itself, but the exact wall damage the quest wants recorded.
Cracks in the Seawall location details
Seawall location
The seawall objective is tied to the coastal part of Riven Tides, so you should focus on the shoreline-facing edge rather than inland structures.

The quest wording points to a damaged barrier along the waterline, and the crack itself is the interaction trigger.

How to complete the photo objective
Step 1
Move to the Riven Tides shoreline area and follow the quest path until you reach the seawall section.

Step 2
Look for the most visibly damaged part of the wall, especially surface fractures and broken concrete lines.

Step 3
Stand close enough for the objective prompt to register, then take the photo when the interaction appears.

Step 4
Confirm the step updates before heading to the next quest target.

Battening Down quest sequence
For this quest, the key location is the cracked seawall on the Riven Tides coast, and the step completes as soon as the photo interaction succeeds.
