RSVSR How to Clear ARC Raiders A Rising Tide Quest Step by Step

[Hartmann846]

You'll figure out pretty fast that "A Rising Tide" in ARC Raiders isn't a firefight quest, it's a movement check, and it'll punish you if you treat it like a straight line. Before you burn another run sprinting up dead stairs, it helps to prep like you're doing a route run—ammo, heals, and maybe some extra ARC Raiders Coins so you're not stressing over kit costs while you learn the jumps. The mission starts in the Buried City, and the game's marker doesn't really explain the "how," which is the whole problem.



Buried City Foreman Apartment Route
Head toward Piazza Roma, then angle south until you're staring at the foreman's apartment block that looks like it should be accessible… except it isn't. The front's sealed off, so don't waste time trying every door. Most people get in by climbing the nearby buildings and using the height to drop onto that narrow platform wedged between the blocks. It feels sketchy the first time. If you spot the rooftop zipline, that works too, but the timing's touchy and you can whiff the ledge if you jump early. Once you're inside, go straight for the desk with the monitor setup and interact with the digital logbook to push the quest forward.



Dam Battlegrounds Trigger and Entry
After extraction, queue into Dam Battlegrounds and aim for the Power Generation Complex up on the north edge. This step's weirdly forgiving: you don't have to flip switches or clear a room, you just need to physically enter the POI and let it register. From there, you're heading southwest to the Controlled Access Zone. You'll hear folks talk about dropping in from ziplines, but that's the kind of plan that falls apart when you're being watched. The steady option is the ladder just outside the complex's southwestern perimeter—take it down, keep your head on a swivel, and you're in.



Reconstruction Clue and Getting Out
Now comes the part where everyone second-guesses the map. You're hunting reconstruction project clues through catwalks, machinery, and those confusing interior corridors that all look the same when you're under pressure. Look for a room with windows that face out over the main floor. Inside is a whiteboard packed with messy notes; interact with it and it counts as your "photo" evidence. Then don't linger—rotate to your safest exit and play it boring. If you're trying to stay stocked for the next brutal set of tasks, some players top up supplies and currency through trusted shops like RSVSR so a bad extraction doesn't wipe out their momentum mid-quest.
