A Prime Specimen is one of the many quests added to ARC Raiders as part of the new Headwinds update, and it’s rather simple.
You obtain the quest from Shani in Speranza, who tells you about what needs to be done. Let’s look at how you can complete it with almost no hassle.
ARC Raiders A Prime Specimen quest walkthrough
A Prime Specimen can be broken down into two major parts.
- Obtain two ARC Powercells
- Interact with any ARC Deforester
- Loot an ARC Deforester
The first task is one of the easiest you can expect. You have to bring down two ARCs, which can be any of the enemies. Every ARC enemy rewards you with an ARC Powercell, and you only need two. You can complete the task on any map, but I recommend Blue Gate. The reason is simple: the second part of the quest needs us to travel to the Blue Gate map to find the ARC Deforester.
The ARC Deforester is a gigantic broken ARC that can be found at the location marked on the image above. Here, you’ll find the ARC Deforester. Make sure to have your Powercells in your inventory. Interact with ARC Deforester panels.
Interacting with the first will create a fire hazard, so be careful of that. Interact with the second panel, and it will complete the second task.
Finally, you’ll have to loot the ARC Deforester. Typically, you might find some unique rewards, but it all depends on your luck. You’ll also get more rewards from Shani upon completing the quest.
To complete the loot, head out and get on top. You can then jump onto the ARC Deforester to find the lootable spot.
Go straight on the bridge-like structure, and you’ll be able to interact with the core and loot all available items.
Here’s the list of rewards you’ll get from completing the quest.
- One Patrol Car key
- Three Door Blocker
