Quick Answer
- Deploy to Spaceport with A Wrench in the Works active.
- Search a bus near the western gate, between the port buildings and the Water Towers.
- Go west to the Water Towers after the bus objective registers.
- Climb above ground level and turn back toward the tower interior to find the Sabotage Supplies containers and transmit their location.
The two objectives can be completed across separate raids. Extraction is not required.
A Wrench in the Works Requirements
Accept Celeste's quest and unlock Spaceport before deploying. No special carried item is listed for either objective. Complete the bus search before looking for the Water Towers interaction; the objectives follow that order even if you make separate runs.
A light loadout limits what you risk while exploring the exposed western side of the map. You do not need to carry a quest item to extraction.
Search the Bus Near the Western Gate
The first objective is at a bus near Spaceport's western gate. Approach the gate from the Arrival or Departure Building side and check the buses before continuing toward the Water Towers.
- Follow the western-gate route until the buses come into view.
- Enter the objective bus and inspect the driver's area for the search prompt.
- Wait for the quest step to register before leaving for the towers.
Waking the Grid uses nearby port-building landmarks if you are combining Spaceport errands.
The Stash Is Above You, Not on the Floor
The Sabotage Supplies stash is above the Water Towers' ground level. Searching the floor around the tower will not expose the final interaction. Look for a route onto the platforms, continue upward, then turn back toward the tower interior.
The metal containers are easy to miss if you keep facing away from the structure after climbing. The quest prompt is the clearest confirmation that you have reached the right stash.
Climb the Northernmost Water Tower
The Water Towers sit on Spaceport's western edge, west of the bus area. Start with the northernmost tower, then use the active quest marker to confirm the objective location before committing to the climb.
- Move from the western-gate bus toward the Water Towers and locate a climbable side.
- Use the available ledges and platforms to reach the upper section.
- Turn around at the upper level and look inward for the metal containers.
- Transmit the location when the objective prompt appears.
A Lay of the Land is another quest that brings players to this part of Spaceport.
A Spaceport raid boost can help with the western-gate and tower objectives.
A Wrench in the Works Rewards and the Radio Renegade Set
Completing the stash interaction finishes the two-step objective route. Claim the Yellow Radio Renegade outfit color, 3 Mod Components, and 5 Mechanical Components from Celeste. The Radio Renegade outfit thread also includes Into the Fray, Power Out, Flickering Threat, and A Warm Place to Rest.
What Comes After A Wrench in the Works
A Wrench in the Works closes this two-stop Spaceport errand for Celeste. If you are following the wider Riven Tides update questlines, Safe Harbor follows a separate Tian Wen route on the Riven Tides map; it is not the second location for this quest.
The Sabotage Thread
Celeste's request to locate Sabotage Supplies links the western-gate bus clue with the stash above the Water Towers. Treat the bus as the lead and the tower as the destination: finding the containers before searching the bus does not replace the first objective.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is A Wrench in the Works on Riven Tides?
No. The quest was added with the Riven Tides update, but both objectives take place on Spaceport.
Which Water Tower has the stash?
Start with the northernmost Water Tower on Spaceport's western edge. Follow the active quest marker and look for the interaction above ground level.
Why can't I find the Sabotage Supplies?
The stash is not on the floor. Climb to the upper section of the tower and turn back toward its interior to spot the containers and objective prompt.
Do you need to extract?
No. The objectives can be completed across separate raids, and carrying a quest item to extraction is not required.
What does A Wrench in the Works reward?
Celeste awards the Yellow Radio Renegade outfit color, 3 Mod Components, and 5 Mechanical Components after you transmit the stash location.
