Quest Guide: Our Presence Up There

Dam Battlegrounds walkthrough for Our Presence Up There with objectives, prep, route order, and extract notes.

Our Presence Up There is a objective run 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.

Objective list

  • In one round
  • Visit the Pattern House in The Dam
  • Find and interact with the Power Switch
  • Complete the antenna installation on the roof

What to bring

  • A reliable mid-range primary and a sidearm or close-range backup; most quest deaths happen while rotating, not while looting.
  • A light-value raid kit. 'In one round' objectives punish greed, so bring enough to survive, not enough to cry over.
  • 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

Because the tracker says this must be done in one round, treat the named objective areas as a route: get in, clear the interaction, confirm the update, then rotate immediately. You are not trying to win the whole lobby; you are trying to leave with the quest done.

  1. Step 1: Visit the Pattern House in The Dam

    Make this your opening waypoint. Move quickly, clear only what blocks the path, and do not burn utility before you reach the named area.

  2. Step 2: Find and interact with the Power Switch

    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.

  3. Step 3: Complete the antenna installation on the roof

    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.

Where players usually throw this quest

  • Starting the raid without a simple, clockwork route. One-round quests fall apart when you improvise after the first gunshot.
  • 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 Dam Battlegrounds.
