The Arc Raiders “Reduced To Rubble” quest asks something of you that you haven’t encountered so far in the extraction shooter: take a photo. Does Arc Raiders have a photo mode? Is there a specific camera item? Do you take an actual screenshot? You’re likely wondering all of these, as I certainly was.
This quest is unlocked as soon as you complete “A First Foothold,” and once again takes place on the Blue Gate map. Once you do the first objective, you’re immediately given a second, and if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to tick both off in the same match.
Here’s where you need to go to complete the “Reduced to Rubble” quest in Arc Raiders.
‘Reduced to Rubble’ quest walkthrough in Arc Raiders
To complete “Reduced to Rubble,” you’ll need to “take a photo” of the collapsed highway and follow the trail of destruction through the Broken Earth in Blue Gate. Although it sounds like you might need to find a camera somewhere, you won’t have to worry about that!
Below, we’ve detailed how to finish each objective of the “Reduced to Rubble” quest.
Take a photo of the collapsed highway
Despite “take a photo” being new verbiage for Arc Raiders, all you need to do is find the correct spot in Blue Gate and interact with the prompt, much like objectives you’ve completed in other quests.
The exact spot for the collapsed highway photo is, believe it or not, just above the “Highway Collapse” text on the Blue Gate map. Amongst the trees and next to some overturned cars, you’ll see the “take photo” prompt, which will tick this objective off.
Follow the trail of destruction through the Broken Earth
Next up, you need to head down a specific path through the Broken Earth place of interest marked on the map. From Highway Collapse, head east, through Olive Grove and towards the Broken Earth landmark. Continue past it and you’ll receive a new objective: investigate the unknown Arc machines.
Ahead of you will be a huge, dilapidated Arc machine, directly east of the Maintenance Bunker and south-west of Ridgeline. Approach the base of it, interact with it to investigate, and voila! The “Reduced To Rubble” quest will be complete.
