ARC Raiders The First Nomads: Quest Guide for All Three Maps

Follow DamnModz on GoogleFollow us on GoogleAdd us to your preferred Google sources.

The First Nomads in ARC Raiders takes Shani's investigation across Blue Gate, Stella Montis and Spaceport. The easily missed step is in the Communications wing, where you turn on the power, repair the transformer, then turn the power on again. The quest also requires five container searches in the Hidden Bunker, while its four named room discoveries are optional objectives.

Quick Answer

  • Blue Gate: use the Security Wing Control Room frequency converter and inspect the antenna exterior at Pilgrim's Peak.
  • Stella Montis: restore power in the Communications wing and run the signal through its frequency converter.
  • Sphere on Spaceport: follow the sphere objective marker associated with the Outskirts Bunker and transmit its location as a separate task.
  • Spaceport: loot five containers inside the Hidden Bunker, between Fuel Lines and Fuel Processing.
  • Do not stop after the first power interaction: the transformer repair and second power interaction are separate objectives.
  • Rewards: one Bobcat I, three Surge Coils, one Tactical Mk. 3 (Healing) and 8,000 XP.
Walkthrough

Requirements

  • Accept The First Nomads from Shani, with no prerequisite quest in its chain.
  • Have access to Blue Gate, Stella Montis and Spaceport, which are separate deployment destinations.
  • Bring healing, shield restoration and enough ammunition to deal with interruptions around the objective locations.
  • For the antenna-based bunker route, select a Spaceport deployment carrying the Hidden Bunker condition.

Use the ARC Raiders maps hub to plan the separate deployments rather than treating this as one continuous map route.

Walkthrough

Blue Gate: The Security Wing and Pilgrim's Peak

The Security Wing Control Room

The Security Wing is in the MANTIKOR tunnels beneath the Checkpoint. On the Blue Gate map, Security Wing is labeled beside Traffic Tunnel. The objective names the Control Room and its frequency converter, rather than asking you to search the entire underground complex.

  1. Reach the Security Wing beneath the Checkpoint.
  2. Find the Control Room within the Security Wing.
  3. Use the frequency converter in the Control Room.

The Pilgrim's Peak Antenna

The antenna at Pilgrim's Peak overlooks the Prefab Hatch area. Its landing is beneath a large circular mesh structure with coloured pennant lines. This part of the investigation takes you outside the antenna structure.

  1. Reach the antenna at Pilgrim's Peak.
  2. Search the antenna exterior for the tampered frequency boosters.

The Security Wing and Pilgrim's Peak investigations form an All of these group. Complete both, without treating their listed order as a required sequence.

Walkthrough

Stella Montis: The Communications Wing

The Communications wing has a power sequence with two separate power objectives. Searching for repair equipment is optional, but repairing the power transformer is not.

On the Top Floor map, find Communications southwest of Auditorium and below and west of Business Center. Look for the repair toolbag interaction when completing the optional equipment search.

  1. Head to the Communications wing on Stella Montis.
  2. Turn on the power.
  3. Search for repair equipment for the optional objective.
  4. Repair the power transformer.
  5. Turn on the power again.
  6. Find the frequency converter and run the signal through it.

The Communications wing's In order sequence runs from arrival through the converter. Keep the two power interactions on either side of the required transformer repair, even when skipping the optional equipment search. Sphere transmission and Hidden Bunker searches are grouped separately as All of these, outside that local sequence.

Keep the repair, second power interaction and signal conversion together in your route through the wing, so you do not leave after only the first switch.

Walkthrough

Spaceport: Loot 5 Containers in the Hidden Bunker

The Hidden Bunker is between Fuel Lines and Fuel Processing, on the outskirts near the Departure Building. Your required task inside is to loot five containers.

Transmit the Sphere Location

On Spaceport, follow the sphere objective marker associated with the Outskirts Bunker and use the objective interaction to transmit the sphere location. This is separate from the Stella Montis power sequence and from the five required bunker container searches.

The Hidden Bunker Condition Route

During the Hidden Bunker condition, the access activity uses four rooftop antennas. Each antenna needs a second interaction after its initial activation.

  1. Locate an unfinished rooftop antenna using the condition's map icons.
  2. Activate the antenna and prepare for the Wasps and Hornets that respond.
  3. Deal with the immediate threat and interact with the antenna again to finish its activation.
  4. Complete the remaining antenna activations needed to open the bunker.
  5. Enter the bunker and loot five containers for The First Nomads.

The map conditions guide covers the wider bunker activity and its return-point restrictions.

The Four Optional Rooms

These are separate optional discoveries inside the bunker, not four extra mandatory container targets.

  • Find the Flooded Cellar for its optional objective.
  • Find the Server Hall for its optional objective.
  • Find the Monitoring Room for its optional objective.
  • Find the Power Room for its optional objective.

How to Extract and Turn In

Plan your return around the active return points in each deployment. The Hidden Bunker condition has fewer active return points and no active Raider Hatches, so leave time to get back out of the bunker and reach an available exit.

Back in Speranza, open Shani's quest screen and claim the reward when The First Nomads is ready for completion.

Stack The First Nomads With Other Quests

Home to Roost also uses the Security Wing. Wires Crossed and Outstanding Balance also bring you to the Pilgrim's Peak antenna, making those useful names to check in your quest list before a Blue Gate deployment.

Plan around the shared locations rather than adding a trip back across the map for a quest you could have accepted beforehand.

Walkthrough

What Comes After The First Nomads

The First Nomads ends its quest chain with Shani. For another active route, return to the ARC Raiders quests hub and choose a quest that matches your next deployment.
