Quick Answer
Any map works for Off The Radar, but a southern Field Depot on Dam Battlegrounds gives the cleanest route.
- Look for a small rusty trailer with blue tarps and a rooftop antenna.
- Prefer a southern Dam depot rather than the busy northern Power Generation Complex or Hydroponic Dome Complex sites.
- Climb the exterior ladder and interact with the antenna.
- The repair is loud, so check the area before starting.
- Plan to extract after the repair to secure the completion.
Off The Radar Requirements
Complete Trash Into Treasure before taking Off The Radar, then deploy to any available map.
- Use a free loadout because the objective is interaction-based rather than combat-heavy.
- You receive 2x Remote Raider Flares when starting the quest.
- Keep your route short after the repair and head toward extraction once the objective updates.
How to Recognise a Field Depot
A Field Depot is a small rusty trailer marked by blue tarps, an exterior ladder and a large antenna or dish on the roof.
The structure is easy to miss at distance, especially in tree cover. Use the Field Depot map symbol first, then scan for the blue-tarp trailer rather than trying to spot the antenna from far away.
Untended Garden also uses Field Depots, so the same visual cues apply there.
Which Field Depot to Use
Use a southern Dam Battlegrounds depot if you want the lowest-risk route.
| Depot area | Risk | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Power Generation Complex | High | Avoid for a simple quest run |
| Hydroponic Dome Complex | High | Use only if combining with another objective |
| West of Water Treatment Control | Lower | Best balance of cover and nearby extracts |
| Between Water Tower and Electrical Substation | Lower | Good southern alternative |
Dense foliage and ditches around the western Water Treatment route make it easier to break line of sight after the repair.
How to Repair the Antenna
Climb the depot's exterior ladder, step onto the roof and interact with the antenna to complete the repair.
- Check the surrounding cover before climbing, because the repair makes enough noise to draw attention.
- Climb the exterior ladder to the roof.
- Interact with the antenna and remain on the roof until the repair completes.
- Leave immediately once the objective updates instead of lingering around the noise source.
Search the trailer interior before repairing if you want the loot; doing it afterward keeps you near the loud objective longer.
Do You Need to Extract?
Plan on extracting after the antenna repair so the quest completion is secured.
Because the objective is quick and a free loadout works well, there is little reason to gamble the run after the interaction. Choose the nearby extract from your southern depot and leave once the repair updates.
Does the Depot Need to Be Active?
The antenna repair is separate from the active-depot terminal mechanic used by other Field Depot objectives.
For Off The Radar, focus on finding the trailer and its rooftop antenna rather than waiting for a specific terminal state. Untended Garden is the quest where depot activation matters more.
Off The Radar Rewards
