Quest Guide: On The Map
Spaceport walkthrough for On The Map with objectives, prep, route order, and extract notes.
← Back to quest guides
On The Map is a recon in ARC Raiders. This version is written as a practical raid plan: what to bring, the order to run the steps in, and what usually kills the run once the quest is technically done.
Quest#53

Same raid?Usually no
Objective list
- Head to where the Fuel Lines snapped, and transmit your location
- Head to the antenna near the Fuel Control, and transmit your location
- Head to the cactus patch in the wall breach, and transmit your location
- Transmit your location from the roof of the Container Storage building
- Find the container covered in tarp, and mark it
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
Plan the raid around the first named objective and your nearest safe extract, not around the fattest loot route. If the quest item drops into your inventory, the raid is now an escort mission and everything else is optional.
- Step 1: Head to where the Fuel Lines snapped, and transmit your location
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.
- Step 2: Head to the antenna near the Fuel Control, and transmit your location
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.
- Step 3: Head to the cactus patch in the wall breach, and transmit your location
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.
- Step 4: Transmit your location from the roof of the Container Storage building
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.
- Step 5: Find the container covered in tarp, and mark it
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
Use the named area as your anchor, then plan your extract before you touch the objective. That matters more than another backpack worth of salvage on Spaceport.
