The early quests in ARC Raiders teach most of the mechanics everyone should know. There’s one confusing quest called A Better Use where you’ll need to request a Supply Drop from a Call Station.
It’s confusing because it’s hard to find a Supply Call Station, and it is very easy to find when you know the mechanics. Here’s a quick guide on how to find Supply Call Stations in ARC Raiders.
How to Request a Supply Drop from a Supply Call Station in ARC Raiders

Before calling out a supply drop, you must find the Supply Call Station first. When you open the map, you’ll see a Supply Call Station icon on the map. Use the legend guide on the side to find the corresponding icon. However, the most confusing part is that the Supply Call Station icon will only appear if you are near one. The Supply Call Station icon doesn’t show up when you aren’t near one, which is actually the same as the Field Depot quest.
That means you’ll have to find one without relying on the map. The Supply Call Station icon in the legends tooltip doesn’t even appear. You can open your map from time to time to see if a Supply Call Station appears, indicating that you have passed it or are currently near one.


You can also pay attention to what it looks like, as seen in the image above. Try to look for this long pole with an antenna that usually has a light on top of it. There are several Supply Call Stations in every map, so if you pay attention to these and look up from time to time, you’ll eventually find one.
If you want a reliable way to find the Supply Call Station to finish the A Better Use quest, you can use the map in the image above as a reference for an easy-to-find Supply Call Station in the Hydroponic Dome Complex area.


When near the Supply Call Station, interact with it and request a Supply Drop. It takes a few seconds, so make sure you aren’t near any enemies, including ARC enemies.
After the Supply Drop is called, you’ll have to wait for it to arrive, and ARC enemies nearby should be alerted and go to the Supply Call Station. You can relocate immediately after calling for the Supply Drop to avoid fighting.


Pay attention to the sky and loot the Supply Drop when it comes. That should finish the “A Better Use” quest, giving you several new quests after.
