Deciphering The Data Quest In ARC Raiders
The Quest starts by tasking players to use the Magnetic Decryptor in the Fuel Control building. After that, there are a couple of other tasks players have to do to complete the Deciphering the Data Quest in ARC Raiders.
The Fuel Control building is an area located in the northeast of Spaceport, right next to the Rocket Assembly area, which is a Medium Loot Value location where players can get Industrial and Exodus items, such as Rusted Gears in ARC Raiders. As for Fuel Control, it doesn't have any Loot Value. It's mostly a normal area where players can get Mechanical and Electrical Items.
Use The Magnetic Decryptor In The Fuel Control Building
The Fuel Control building is the only building in that location, so it should be hard to miss. Enter the building and search for the electrical mechanism in the southeast, at the end. Interact with it to decrypt the data. That will break the electrical mechanism and cause some spark animation to appear.
After using the Magnetic Decryptor in the Fuel Control building, the task will change to:
- Reach the Arrival Building in Spaceport
Reach the Arrival Building in Spaceport
The Arrival Building is a High Loot Value location located on the western side of the Spaceport map.
The Arrival Building is filled with ARC enemies, such as Pops, Fireballs, and Turrets. Make sure to deal with them before completing the Deciphering the Data Quest in ARC Raiders. Once you enter the Arrival building, the new task is:
- Use the Magnetic Decryptor on the top floor of the Arrival building.
Use The Magnetic Decryptor On The Top Floor Of The Arrival Building
Inside the Arrival Building, take the stairs to get to the second floor. Keep heading northwest until you find a bunch of electrical devices placed next to each other. The quest mark should appear to tell the Raiders which electrical device to interact with. Interact with the device to decrypt the data, and that should complete the Deciphering the Data Quest in ARC Raiders.
