ARC Raiders A Wrench in the Works: Bus and Water Tower Stash

A Wrench in the Works in ARC Raiders sends you to Spaceport for two ordered objectives from Celeste. Search a bus near the western gate first, then head to the Water Towers for the Sabotage Supplies stash. The quest arrived with the Riven Tides update, but it does not take place on the Riven Tides map. You can finish the steps across raids without extracting.

Quick Answer

  1. Deploy to Spaceport with A Wrench in the Works active.
  2. Search a bus near the western gate, between the port buildings and the Water Towers.
  3. Go west to the Water Towers after the bus objective registers.
  4. 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.

Walkthrough

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.

Walkthrough

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.

  1. Follow the western-gate route until the buses come into view.
  2. Enter the objective bus and inspect the driver's area for the search prompt.
  3. 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.

  1. Move from the western-gate bus toward the Water Towers and locate a climbable side.
  2. Use the available ledges and platforms to reach the upper section.
  3. Turn around at the upper level and look inward for the metal containers.
  4. 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 Wrench in the Works Rewards and the Radio Renegade Set

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.

Walkthrough

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.
