Our Presence Up There quest in ARC Raiders sends players to the Pattern House building on the Dam Battlegrounds map to activate an antenna installation. This is one of the last outposts players need to power up, so the remaining humanity at Speranza can monitor ARC activity across the area. While it's a quick mission, players may have trouble locating the power switch or the antenna installation in Pattern House. Here's a guide to help you complete Our Presence Up There quest easily in ARC Raiders.

Where to Find the Power Switch in Pattern House (Our Presence Up There)

ARC Raiders Out Presence Up There Pattern house Location

To start the "Our Presence Up There" quest in ARC Raiders, players will need to reach the Pattern House in the northernmost section of the Dam Battlegrounds map. The location can be found northwest of the Power Generation Complex, and you'll need to zoom into one level to reveal its map marker.

You'll arrive at a large building with strange cryptic patterns on the front, hence its name. Make sure to enter with your weapon drawn, as there are multiple raider spawn points around the area, and you may find some hostile players camping inside the building.

It's always best to use the "Don't Shoot" dialog while entering to alert any other players inside that you don't intend to engage in a PvP fight. In a solo lobby, this will help you avoid conflicts most of the time.

Enter through the main entrance under the cryptic patterns and turn left until you encounter a staircase. Instead of heading up the stairs, turn left and go into a small room to find a terminal with an interactable power switch. Turn the power switch on to complete the first objective for the "Our Presence Up There" quest in ARC Raiders.
