The Groundbreaking quest in ARC Raiders takes players on a journey to find research that was done before the ARC machines took over. As a raider, it's only natural that players go topside to complete various tasks or simply to raid resources on the surface. In the Groundbreaking quest, raiders must go through a short journey to help get a better understanding of earthquake-proof buildings.

Groundbreaking Quest In ARC Raiders
The Groundbreaking quest in ARC Raiders can be done on The Blue Gate map. Here are all the missions in this quest:
- Enter the locked room at Pilgrim's Peak
- Search the room for any construction research
- Find the building pictured on the whiteboard
- Photograph the abandoned housing project
Completing this mission rewards players with a new color for the Warden outfit, which players get from The Stench of Corruption quest in ARC Raiders.
Enter The Locked Room At Pilgrim's Peak
First, head to the Pilgrim's Peak, located northeast of The Blue Gate map. Once there, you must find a locked room that can be opened using the Blue Gate Communication Tower Key, which you get from the quest.
Note that the door might be open already, so don't focus too much on finding a locked door. Before entering the Pilgrim's Peak building, be careful, as there might be an ARC Sentinel or Turret guarding the location. The area is also filled with ARC flying enemies, such as ARC Rocketeer in ARC Raiders.
The Blue Gate Communication Tower Key room is on the far eastern side of the building. No matter which door you enter the building from, just keep going east to find the locked chamber, and get one step closer to completing the Groundbreaking quest in ARC Raiders.
Search The Room For Any Construction Research
Inside the room, there's a whiteboard with a house drawn on it. This is the construction research mentioned in the quest log. Interact with the construction research to continue the Groundbreaking quest in ARC Raiders.
Find The Building Pictured On The Whiteboard
Next, players must find the building pictured on the whiteboard. Head to the Abandoned Housing Project, and make sure to go to the area south of the text.
Photograph The Abandoned Housing Project
Once the correct building is in sight, players need to interact with a circle to photograph the abandoned housing project. This can be done from various sides of the building, as long as it's the right house.
