Note: This guide covers the Eyes In The Sky quest objective locations and the shortest routes to each LiDAR Scanner tripod. It does not cover loot routes, key rooms, PvP builds, or exploits.
Eyes In The Sky is a Shani quest in ARC Raiders that asks you to install three LiDAR Scanners at high points across Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and Buried City.
This trips up players who can find the landmarks, but get blocked by rooftop routing, liftshaft turrets, or the Galleria sign zipline angle.
This guide fixes that by giving you clean step routes to each placement so the objective can update. It does not cover extraction paths, loot farming, or fight coaching.

ARC Raiders Communications Tower
Spaceport LiDAR Placement

ARC Raiders Eyes In The Sky Quest Roadmap
You can deploy the three LiDAR Scanners in any order. This roadmap lists the easiest placement first so you can lock progress early.
Complete the Spaceport Communications Tower placement.
Complete the Dam Battlegrounds Control Tower roof placement.
Complete the Buried City Galleria sign placement with a Zipline.
What You Should Notice: Each time you interact with a tripod and place a scanner, that objective can mark complete even if you do not extract.
Stop Here If Fixed: If all three objectives show complete, talk to Shani to finish the quest.
ARC Raiders Eyes In The Sky Quest Forks
Use these quick decision forks to avoid repeating the hardest part over and over.
If Buried City keeps killing your runs: do Spaceport first, then Dam, and leave Galleria sign for last.
If you do not have a Zipline ready: start with Spaceport, then confirm your quest granted items include Zipline x1 before you queue Buried City.
If you cannot find the tripod prompt: you are usually on the wrong height level, so keep climbing until you reach the topmost accessible platform and look for a tripod.
What You Should Notice: You keep making progress even if one location is currently slowing you down.
ARC Raiders Spaceport Communications Tower
Objective: On Spaceport, install a LiDAR Scanner at the Communications Tower.
Queue into a Spaceport raid with Eyes In The Sky active.
Travel to the Communications Tower on the east side of the map.
Find the yellow ladder at the base of the tower.
Climb the ladder until you reach the platform.
Follow the platform walkway to the tripod.
Interact with the tripod to place the LiDAR Scanner.
What You Should Notice: The Spaceport Communications Tower objective updates as soon as the scanner is placed.
Stop Here If Fixed: If the Spaceport objective is complete, leave the raid when you are ready and move to the next map objective.
ARC Raiders Dam Battlegrounds Control Tower
Objective: On Dam Battlegrounds, install a LiDAR Scanner at the top of the Control Tower.
This placement is commonly the most contested because Control Tower is a high traffic landmark. The fastest route uses the liftshaft zipline and a rooftop breach door.
Queue into a Dam Battlegrounds raid with Eyes In The Sky active.
Reach the Control Tower landmark.
Approach from the south side stairs to reach the main floor level.
Run down the long exterior hallway and enter the building.
Go straight to the breachable door that leads into the liftshaft.
Look up and shoot any turrets before taking the upward zipline.
Ride the upward zipline to the top floor.
Follow the corridor and breach the door that leads to the roof.
On the roof, move forward and slightly left to the tripod.
Interact with the tripod to place the LiDAR Scanner.
What You Should Notice: The Dam Battlegrounds Control Tower objective updates after the tripod interaction completes.
Stop Here If Fixed: If the Dam objective is complete, do not overstay the roof. Leave the area and move to your remaining objective.
ARC Raiders Buried City Galleria Sign
Objective: On Buried City, install a LiDAR Scanner on top of the Galleria sign.
This placement is the trickiest because you need a Zipline to reach the sign walkway. Most failed attempts come from placing the Zipline too low.
Queue into a Buried City raid with at least one Zipline available.
Travel to Galleria on the east side of the map.
Approach the Galleria area from the south.
Climb the square structures south of Galleria to gain height.
Cross the makeshift bridge to reach the Galleria rooftop.
Move toward the tall sign pillar area on the roof.
Aim your Zipline at the upper walkway near the top of the Galleria sign and place it.
Ride the Zipline up and land on the walkway.
Interact with the tripod on the walkway to place the LiDAR Scanner.
What You Should Notice: The Buried City Galleria sign objective updates when the scanner is placed on the top walkway tripod.
Stop Here If Fixed: If the Buried City objective is complete, prioritize leaving the rooftop area instead of looking for extra fights.
ARC Raiders Eyes In The Sky Quest Troubleshooting
ARC Raiders LiDAR Scanner Tripod Prompt
Type: Diagnosis. Use this when you are at the landmark but cannot get the placement to trigger.
Confirm you are on the correct map for the objective you are trying to complete.
Confirm you reached the correct landmark height level, not a mid-floor balcony.
Walk directly up to the tripod and pause for the interaction prompt.
Circle the tripod slowly to re-trigger the interaction angle.
If the prompt still never appears, leave and retry the placement in a new raid.
What You Should Notice: The interact prompt appears at the tripod and the objective updates after the placement completes.
Stop Here If Fixed: If you successfully placed the scanner, stop troubleshooting and move to your next objective.
ARC Raiders Zipline Placement
Type: Symptom reducer. Use this when you fall short of the Galleria sign walkway.
Stand on the Galleria rooftop with a clear line of sight to the sign pillar.
Aim your Zipline higher than the mid-level railings and ledges.
Attach the Zipline to the upper walkway area near the top of the sign.
Ride the Zipline and be ready to adjust your landing with a small movement input.
If you have more than one Zipline, keep a spare for a second attempt.
What You Should Notice: You land cleanly on the top walkway and can reach the tripod without falling short.
Stop Here If Fixed: If you are standing on the walkway, stop adjusting the Zipline and place the scanner.
