The Straight Record quest forces you to go back and forth to several locations in ARC Raiders. There are a few objectives throughout the raid, and you must finish them all, or it’ll get more confusing.

Here’s a comprehensive guide on all the locations you must go to finish the Straight Record quest in ARC Raiders.

Complete Straight Record Quest Guide in ARC Raiders

To finish the Straight Record quest, you must finish the following objectives:

  • Reach Victory Ridge.
  • Find the old EMP Trap.
  • Disable the first power switch.
  • Disable the second power switch.
  • Disable the third power switch.
  • Shut down the EMP trap.

There are a lot of objectives, and you must find the EMP trap and the three switches to complete the quest. Luckily, they are all near each other, and you won’t normally find other players in this area. There are hot spots nearby, like the Hydroponic Dome Complex and the Power Generation Complex, but since you are going to the outskirts of the map (Victory Ridge), you are unlikely to find any enemy raiders. Hopefully.

The old EMP trap is by the dirt road. You can use the map above (first image) for its exact location. It looks like an electric street post. Interact with it to investigate, and you’ll come back to this location after going through all the power switches.

First Power Switch Location

There are two photos for each power switch location (the map image and the actual power switch).

The first power switch is on the high ground by the rocks. The spot is closer to the wreckage, and you’ll move your way down from here for the next power switches.

Second Power Switch Location

The second power switch is located on top of one of the broken houses. Climb up from the opposite end and jump across to reach the second power switch.

Third Power Switch Location

The last power switch is by the dirt round closer to the trees. From the broken houses, drop down and follow the electrical wires on the ground.

After switching the last power switch, you must go back to the old EMP trap to shut it down and finish the Straight Record quest. The next quest brings you to the Keeping the Memory quest, which you can follow here.
