Objective list
- Reach Victory Ridge
- Find the old EMP trap
- Disable the first power switch
- Disable the second power switch
- Disable the third power switch
- Shut down the EMP trap
What to bring
- A reliable mid-range primary and a sidearm or close-range backup; most quest deaths happen while rotating, not while looting.
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: Reach Victory Ridge
Make this your opening waypoint. Move quickly, clear only what blocks the path, and do not burn utility before you reach the named area.
- Step 2: Find the old EMP trap
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.
- Step 3: Disable the first power switch
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: Disable the second power switch
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: Disable the third power switch
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 6: Shut down the EMP trap
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
- 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.
