The Groundbreaking quest is a new activity to finish in ARC Raiders, which forms part of the Cold Snap update.
Thankfully, it’s fairly easy to finish off. All the tasks can be completed on the Blue Gate map, and there are four of them. This guide will help you finish all the tasks.
ARC Raiders Groundbreaking quest walkthrough
The Groundbreaking quest can be broken down into the following parts.
- Enter the locked room at Pilgrim’s Peak
- Search the room for any construction research
- Find the building pictured on the whiteboard
- Photograph the abandoned housing project
Once you accept the quest from Apollo, he will provide you with the Blue Gate Communication Tower key. Make sure to keep the item safe since you’ll need it to proceed with the quest. Next, head to Pilgrim’s Peak on the Blue Gate map.
Enter the building from the entrance marked on the screenshot below. Go straight, and then turn left. Travel straight until you come across a locked door to your right. This is where you use the key. Head inside and you’ll find a whiteboard. Investigate the whiteboard, and you’ll automatically complete the second and third tasks of the quest.
The final part of the quest is slightly tricky since you’ll have to stand at a specific location at the Abandoned Housing project. Head to the marked location, and you’ll find the spot where you have to take the photo. You will first have to reach Abandoned Housing before proceeding to this spot.
Being at the correct spot will allow you to take a photo of the building in front of you and complete the quest.
There are more quests to complete in Cold Snap, and we have detailed guides for all of them.
