The Controlled Access Puzzle POI is a new addition to ARC Raiders as part of the Shrouded Sky update, and there’s a new puzzle to solve.
Staying true to the recent theme, solving the puzzle will require cooperation among players. You can’t solve the puzzle by yourself, even if you’re playing in a trio. Let’s look at how to solve the puzzle.

How to solve the Controlled Access Zone Puzzle in ARC Raiders
We begin by reaching the new POI, located south of the Power Generation Complex. I have marked its location, but it’s pretty easy to find, as it’s a named spot. Just open your map, and you should be able to find it.
Find a fuel cell
Once you’re in the Controlled Access Zone, the first job is to look for a fuel cell. You need the fuel cell to insert it at a terminal at the top of the stairs. The cell can be found at the bottom of the stairs (near the corner of the wall). Carry the cell to the top of the stairs, and you’ll find a generator to insert the cell. You’ll find the first button in the same room.
Do note that the location of the cell can be random, but it will always be located on the bottom floor.
Interact with the buttons
Here’s the tricky part of completing the puzzle. There are four buttons in total. One of the buttons will always spawn by the generator on the top (where you insert the cell), and the remaining areas are random. I have added a few images so you know what you’re looking for.
To complete the puzzle, you’re going to need four people. All four of you should be pressing the buttons at the same time. This will require a lot of coordination, as you’ll be teaming up with opposition raiders. If one of the buttons is pressed out of sequence, the process will fail.
Once you’ve pressed all the buttons correctly, you’ll open the door (refer to the image below). Head inside, and you’ll find a generator. Insert the following items: 12 Metal Parts and one Industrial Battery. You can either scavenge these on your raid or bring them along for the puzzle.
Submitting the items fixes the control panel and allows you to enter the loot room. There are plenty of containers to raid at this location, and I have already found a Mythic Blueprint. You can repeat the process by starting a fresh round and solving the puzzle once again.
