Paving the Way is one of many new quests added to ARC Raiders as part of the Cold Snap update, and completing the tasks will require us to travel across two different maps.
To begin the quest, you’ll have to clear previous content that is part of the base game. To begin the quest, you’ll have to travel to an ENELICA building before proceeding with the rest of the tasks. This guide will help you complete all the tasks that are part of the quest.
ARC Raiders Paving the Way quest walkthrough
The Paving the Way quest can be broken down into the following parts.
- Go to any ENELICA building
- Search for a notice board with a note from the researcher
- On Buried City, reach the top floor above the Covinio in Piazza Roma
- Find the researcher’s flat and search for any research data
There are multiple ENELICA buildings present on the Dam Battlegrounds map, and the Power Generation Complex in the northern part of the map works.
Enter the building from the left using the stairs that lead to the top floor. I have marked the location on the screenshot above. Enter through the door, and turn left, where you’ll find the notice board.
Our next part of the quest will require us to travel to the Buried City map. Go to the apartment buildings located in the southern part of Piazza Roma. Climb to the top floor (or use a zipline). This is the same location that’s part of the Unexpected Initiative quest.
The last part of the quest is to find the researcher’s flat and look for any research data.
- Drop down to the lower rooftop, and you’ll find a scrap bridge. Use it to go back to the other building.
- Go straight through the next room until you find the computer consoles in the southermost part.
- Interact with the console, and this completes the final task and the Paving the Way quest in ARC Raiders.
