Are you ready to conquer every mission in Arc Raiders? With 72 quests currently available in the game, knowing which missions to tackle first and how to complete them efficiently can make the difference between struggling scavenger and elite raider. I’ve spent countless hours topside documenting every quest, mapping out optimal routes, and discovering the secrets that Embark Studios has hidden throughout the Rust Belt.

This comprehensive guide will walk you through every single quest, organized by the five NPCs who hand them out in Speranza. You’ll learn exactly what each quest requires, what rewards you’ll earn, and pro tips to complete them faster than rival raiders can say “extract.”

Quick Overview: All Arc Raiders Quests at a Glance

Total Quests	72
Main Release Quests	63
North Line Update	3
Cold Snap Update	6
Quest Givers	5 NPCs
Average Completion Time	40-60 hours

How Quests Work in Arc Raiders?

Before diving into the complete list, let me break down the quest system mechanics that every raider needs to know:

Quest Progression is Shared: When playing in a squad, your teammates’ actions count toward quest completion. This makes group play incredibly efficient for knocking out multiple objectives simultaneously.
Items Aren’t Consumed: Unlike crafting materials, items you collect for quests remain in your inventory after turning in the mission. Stock up when you find quest items!
Glowing Yellow Markers: Pay attention to yellow glowing objects in the world – these are quest interaction points or items you need to collect.
Branching Paths: Quest order can vary based on which NPCs you prioritize and which maps you unlock first through XP progression.

Pro Tips for Quest Efficiency

Based on hundreds of hours completing all 72 quests, here are my top strategies for maximizing your quest efficiency:

Route Planning

Group Similar Objectives: Combine quests that require visiting the same locations or defeating similar enemies
Map-Specific Runs: Dedicate entire raids to completing quests for specific maps to minimize travel time
Squad Coordination: Assign different objectives to team members when possible

Inventory Management

Pre-Stock Quest Items: Keep commonly needed quest items (Wires, Batteries, Medical Supplies) in your stash
Don’t Sell Quest Rewards: Some quest rewards become requirements for later missions
Use Shared Progress: Leverage squad-based quest progression to complete objectives faster

Combat Optimization

Environmental Hazards: Use explosive barrels and environmental traps to your advantage

Challenge 1: Multi-Step Objectives

Many quests require completing several objectives in a single run. Solution: Practice the route in solo mode first, then attempt with a squad for protection.

Challenge 2: PvP Hotspots

Some quest locations attract heavy player traffic. Solution: Visit these areas during off-peak hours or bring a well-coordinated squad.

Challenge 3: Rare Item Spawns

Certain quest items have limited spawn locations. Solution: Learn spawn patterns and server reset times for consistent farming.
