Here’s the latest I can share based on recent coverage and guides.
- What it is: The Communication Hideout is a quest in Arc Raiders set in Buried City, requiring you to reach the Red Tower, locate a missing battery, power the generator, and boot an antenna terminal to complete the objective.[3][7]
- Where to go: Start at the Red Tower area in Old Town within Buried City, then proceed to the generator area to install the battery.[7][3]
- How to complete: After powering the generator, you’ll climb to the tower rooftop to reach a yellow terminal and interact with it to finish the quest. Guides consistently note a need for careful movement due to ARC units and potential rival players in the vicinity.[3][7]
- Quick tips from players: Use nearby cover to approach the Red Tower, time movements to avoid patrols, and ensure the courtyard is clear before interacting with the generator and antenna terminal. Some guides emphasize completing in a single run on Buried City with a free loadout, as there’s no extraction required.[2][7][3]
- Notable rewards mentioned: Completing the quest is often associated with rewards such as cosmetic outfits and possibly weapon/tech loot, depending on the guide and patch cycle. Some sources explicitly mention an Anvil III and cosmetic items tied to the quest line.[7]
Illustrative pathway (concise):
- Reach Red Tower in Old Town (Buried City).
- Find and retrieve the missing battery cell.
- Install battery in the generator, power it on.
- Climb to the antenna terminal at the Red Tower and interact to complete.
If you’d like, I can summarize a step-by-step route tailored to your current map position and preferred playstyle, or pull a short visual map guide if you want a quick in-game checklist. I can also compile a concise, up-to-date checklist from the most recent guides if you’re aiming for a flawless run.
