Quick Answer
The easiest options are the J Kozma containers near Lobby Metro and the loading-bay container near the wind-tunnel extract. Search a valid container, then immediately pick up the books that drop on the ground.
Cold Storage must be completed in one round, and you must extract with the books. Rewards are 3x Gas Mine and 1x Raider Hatch Key.
Cold Storage Requirements
Complete In My Image and load into Stella Montis. Bring a safe pocket for the books if your loadout supports one, because dying before extraction loses the quest item and forces another run.
A modest combat loadout is more sensible than a pure free run here because reaching the container is only half the job; you still need to survive to an extraction.
Every J Kozma Ventures Container Location
Several J Kozma containers can put you on a workable Cold Storage route. Start with the locations below and choose the one that best matches your spawn and extraction path.
| Area | Container position | Nearest extract | Traffic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cargo Dock A | South wall, behind a white container. | Choose the safest available extract for your run. | Variable. |
| Loading bay | Reached by dropping from the 2nd floor. | Wind-tunnel extract | Variable. |
| Lobby Metro, upper layer | North of the Lobby Metro extraction by the train tracks. | Lobby Metro | High, because it is convenient. |
| Lobby Metro, central area | In the middle of the Lobby Metro area. | Lobby Metro | High, because it is convenient. |
| Train-controls area | Near the train controls; also check the southern side if needed. | Choose the safest nearby extract. | Variable. |
If one container does not give you the quest interaction, move to another listed location rather than spending the whole raid searching the same spot.
How to Pick Up the Old World Books
Searching the J Kozma container does not place the books directly in your inventory. The books drop onto the ground and must be picked up as a separate interaction.
- Search the J Kozma container.
- Look at the ground immediately around the container opening.
- Pick up the dropped books before moving away.
- Move them into a safe pocket if possible.
The quest item may appear as Old World Books or Rare Books depending on the current game build; either way, pick up the book item that drops from the quest container.
How to Extract with the Books
You must survive to an extraction with the books. Dying before you leave Stella Montis loses the item and fails the run.
Use the Lobby Metro extract for nearby Metro containers when the area is manageable. If the Metro side is too contested, use one of the more southern container options instead and route toward the nearest safe extraction available in that run.
Cold Storage Rewards
Cold Storage rewards a trap item and a Raider Hatch Key, which gives the quest useful value beyond the Stella Montis objective itself.
| Reward | Type | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3x Gas Mine | Deployable | Area-control utility. |
| 1x Raider Hatch Key | Key | Useful for future access and extraction options. |
What Comes After Cold Storage
Cold Storage is an early Stella Montis quest. After completing it, use the ARC Raiders quest hub to continue with the next available quest in your chain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the J Kozma Ventures containers in ARC Raiders?
Useful locations include Cargo Dock A, a loading bay near the wind-tunnel extract, multiple spots around Lobby Metro, and a container near the train controls. If one does not give you the quest interaction, try another listed location.
Do you have to do Cold Storage in one round?
Yes. Cold Storage must be completed in one round.
What happens if you die with the Old World Books?
You lose the books and have to repeat the run. Put them in a safe pocket if possible and prioritize extraction once you pick them up.
Does any J Kozma container work for Cold Storage?
Multiple J Kozma containers can be used for the quest, but if a container does not give you the interaction, move to another listed quest location rather than assuming every container is valid.
How do you unlock Cold Storage?
Complete In My Image first. Cold Storage is listed as the second quest in the Stella Montis chain.
