Quick Answer
Zoom in on the Dam Battlegrounds map if you cannot see the Pattern House marker. Head to the northernmost section, northwest of the Power Generation Complex, and look for the large vertical building with cryptic patterns on its front.
- Enter the Pattern House and locate the power switch.
- Flip the switch to advance the quest.
- Reach the roof and complete the antenna installation.
Finish all three objectives in the same round. The reward is two keys plus three Jolt Mines.
Our Presence Up There Requirements
You need access to Dam Battlegrounds and must finish all three objectives in one round. No carried quest item is required, so a light loadout is practical, but the exposed rooftop makes healing and a reliable weapon useful.
Shani gives the quest as part of her progression. If you leave the round before finishing every objective, plan to repeat the sequence on your next attempt.
How to Find the Pattern House
The Pattern House is in the northernmost section of Dam Battlegrounds, northwest of the Power Generation Complex. Zoom in on the map if its marker is not visible at your current map scale.
Look for a large, taller-than-average industrial building with strange cryptic patterns across the front. Nearby walkways and ziplines create regular raider traffic, so approach as a transit-heavy area rather than an isolated quest room.
You can stack nearby objectives from Flickering Threat and Paving the Way, which also use the Power Generation Complex area.
Where to Find the Power Switch
The power switch is inside the Pattern House and must be activated before the rooftop antenna step. Once inside, clear the immediate room, follow the building's interior route toward the active quest interaction, and use the switch prompt when it appears.
- Enter through the accessible ground-level opening.
- Follow the interior path until the power-switch interaction appears.
- Activate the switch once, then move immediately toward the roof route.
How to Complete the Antenna Installation
The antenna installation is on the roof and is the final quest objective. Use the building's upward route and nearby traversal lines to reach the exposed rooftop, then interact with the antenna installation point.
- Climb toward the upper levels after the power switch is active.
- Use the available rooftop access or zipline route to reach the roof.
- Install the antenna as soon as the prompt appears, then move off the exposed roof.
The rooftop is the most dangerous part of the run because you are visible while finishing the last objective.
Our Presence Up There Rewards
| Reward | Type | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1x Buried City Town Hall Key | Key | Opens a Buried City Town Hall loot area. |
| 1x Raider Hatch Key | Key | A second key reward from the same short quest. |
| 3x Jolt Mine | Utility | Useful deployable utility. |
Two keys for a three-objective quest is a strong return. Hold the Buried City Town Hall Key until you are ready to use it on that map.
What Comes After Our Presence Up There
Lost in Transmission unlocks after Our Presence Up There. That follow-up gives you a single-use Spaceport Control Tower Key that goes to your stash rather than directly into your loadout, so equip it before deploying when you are ready to continue.
