Quest Guide: A Rising Tide

Objective list

• On Buried City, find the foreman's barricaded apartment south of Piazza Roma
• Access the foreman's digital logbook
• On Dam Battlegrounds, reach the Power Generation Complex
• Find a way into the Controlled Access Zone
• Search the Controlled Access Zone for any clues about the foreman's reconstruction project

What to bring

• A reliable mid-range primary and a sidearm or close-range backup; most quest deaths happen while rotating, not while looting.
• Stamina-friendly utility like smoke or a distraction item, because recon steps usually force you into exposed rooftops, offices, or dead-end rooms.
• Enough meds and shields to survive two rotations; multi-location quests punish players who arrive at the final step with no resources left.

How to run it

This is a multi-map quest. Unless your quest log explicitly says everything must happen in one round, treat each map as its own clean deployment. Finish one location, extract, restock, then queue the next leg instead of forcing the whole chain in one stressed run.

1. Step 1: On Buried City, find the foreman's barricaded apartment south of Piazza Roma

   Treat this as a hard objective, not a side stop. Finish the interaction, confirm the quest tracker updates, then rotate before the next squad arrives.

2. Step 2: Access the foreman's digital logbook

   Treat this as a hard objective, not a side stop. Finish the interaction, confirm the quest tracker updates, then rotate before the next squad arrives.

3. Step 3: On Dam Battlegrounds, reach the Power Generation Complex

   Treat this as a hard objective, not a side stop. Finish the interaction, confirm the quest tracker updates, then rotate before the next squad arrives.

4. Step 4: Find a way into the Controlled Access Zone

   Once you are at the point of interest, clear the nearest angle first, then interact. Most misses on this step happen because players sprint past the actual prompt or loot through the room too early.

5. Step 5: Search the Controlled Access Zone for any clues about the foreman's reconstruction project

   Once you are at the point of interest, clear the nearest angle first, then interact. Most misses on this step happen because players sprint past the actual prompt or loot through the room too early.

Where players usually throw this quest

• Running past the actual interaction prompt. Slow down for five seconds, clear the room, and let the tracker update before leaving.
• Taking a fight on the way out just because you hear it. Quest raids are won by discipline, not by K/D.

Miswired note

If you queue this with friends, split jobs by map familiarity: let one person lead each location and keep the others on security and callouts.
