ARC Raiders: ‘A Wrench in the Works’ Quest Walkthrough

The “A Wrench in the Works” mission serves as the concluding challenge in the Arc Raiders Riven Tides update. Set within the Spaceport map, this two-part assignment can be tackled over multiple runs, provided you complete the objectives in the correct order. Your primary goal is to search through buses and secure a hidden cache of sabotage gear for Celeste.

Here is your roadmap to finalizing “A Wrench in the Works.”

Quest Objectives

To wrap up this mission, you will need to complete the following steps at the Spaceport:

1. Investigate the buses located near the western gate.
2. Locate the clandestine sabotage supply stash hidden near the Water Towers.

Finding the Buses at the Western Gate

You can find the western gate along the main thoroughfare leading into the primary compound, situated just north of the Departure Building. Be careful not to confuse this with the road adjacent to the Shipping Warehouse. A collection of buses is parked on the road directly north of the West Elevator extraction zone. Step inside any of these vehicles and check the area around the driver’s seat to tick this objective off your list.

Securing the Sabotage Supplies

While the mission directs you toward the Water Towers, the supplies themselves are tucked away and easy to miss. Focus on the northernmost tower; once inside, look for an elevated ledge that you can mantle up to.

After climbing to the upper level, pivot around to face a stack of metal storage containers. You will see a prompt to “Transmit Location.” Interact with it to finalize the quest.
