Where to Find the Missing Battery Cell in ARC Raiders (Communication Hideout)

Communication Hideout ARC Raiders Red Tower Location

To start the Communication Hideout quest in ARC Raiders, players will need to head to the Red Tower landmark on the Buried City map. The area can be found just northeast of the Plaza Rosa building, and players will need to zoom one level onto the map to see it pop up.

You'll spot the tower from afar as it stands tall in the crimson light of the Buried City. The first objective of the Communication Hideout quest is to locate the missing battery cell to power up the generator. The battery cell can be located east of the red tower on the ground, opposite the yellow generator outside.

Players will need to pick up the battery cell and insert it into the generator to the left to power up the antenna terminal on top. After inserting the battery, turn on the generator by interacting with a small switch on its right side. Make sure you do this before heading up the tower.

Now, go inside the open window in front of you to enter the Red Tower building. Follow the staircase upstairs and take the ladder to the left of the hole in the building's second floor to reach the top of the Red Tower.

Just to the right of the metal sheets that lead up to the Red Tower, you'll spot a small pathway. Follow it to a computer terminal that you need to interact with to complete the final objective of the Communication Hideout quest in ARC Raiders.

Buried City Red Tower Loot Room ARC Raiders

Since you're already in the area, make sure to check out the loot room in the Red Tower. It's located on the second floor, across the hole in the wall.

There are multiple red lockers that you can check out for a chance to find valuable trinkets, epic (purple) crafting materials, and rare (blue) weapons. There are also smaller cabinets and drawers here, but most prominently, there's a very high chance of a Security Breach locker spawning here.

If you're doing the Communication Hideout quest during a major map condition like a Night Raid or an Electromagnetic Storm, you'll also have a chance to find rare blueprints like weapon attachments or even the Tempest assault Rifle.

Once players safely extract back to Speranza, they'll need to talk to Shani to claim the Crimson Racer (Aviator Color) outfit cosmetic, 1x Anvil III weapon, and 40x Heavy Ammo as a reward for completing the Communication Hideout quest in ARC Raiders.
