The Waking the Grid quest in Arc Raiders appears immediately after you complete Dust on the Wires, and this one also sees you heading for the Spaceport to track down some tricky locations and rooms. This time, you'll have to find a Guard Tower, the Security Control Center, and the Data Office in the Arrivals Building, all of which might trip you up depending on your familiarity with the map.
Still, it's certainly not the hardest quest in Arc Raiders by a longshot. Here's how to complete Waking the Grid.
Your first step will be heading to one of the many Guard Towers that dot the big Spaceport wall surrounding the central area itself. There's an easy-to-access one just to the east of Fuel Lines, and to the west of Control Tower A6 that I recommend.
Simply climb the break in the wall to the east of it to access its door on top of said wall, then zipline up and interact with the yellow-marked console on your left.
Now you need to go to the Departure Building to the north of that Guard Tower I mentioned, specifically, to the Security Control Center. The easiest way to find this is, as shown in the clip below, entering from the southwest side of the building, going straight past the long desk, left, and then left again into the room itself.
You'll want to look for a terminal desk in the back right with red lights—interact with this to complete the next stage.
For this next stage, you're going to the Arrival Building to your north, and you want to look for the Data Office. You can find it by, as shown in the clip below, entering the main Arrival Building entrance, then turning left at the main desk (if you're coming from inside the Spaceport), then turning right, following the sign marked Data Office. Head through a door, and the objective is in the back left of that room.
Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
You'll know you're in the right place because you'll hear an alarm sound. Interact with the yellow marked wires to cut them and complete the quest.
