ARC Raiders Our Presence Up There Quest Guide

Short quest, solid payout, and very little room for mistakes.

Our Presence Up There is a short quest in ARC Raiders, but it sends you into one of the Dam Battlegrounds’ busiest buildings. Your task is to bring Pattern House back online by restoring power and activating an antenna, which are located in areas that can be hard to find if you don’t know where to look.

The objectives take only a few minutes to complete once you reach them, and the final quest rewards include two valuable keys. Still, getting in and out in one piece is a big challenge as many Raiders prowl this place in search of blueprints or whatever loot they can get. You must complete the quest in one raid, or progress will reset on the next run. It doesn’t need to be extracted alive, and is best done fast before the area turns into a war zone.

How to Complete Our Presence Up There in ARC Raiders

To complete Our Presence Up There quest, go to the Pattern House at the northernmost part of the Dam Battlegrounds map. The building is found northwest of the Power Generation Complex and east of Water Broken Bridge, easily spotted once you zoom in far enough to reveal its map marker.

Pattern House is a known hotspot. It’s a frequent spawn location, a popular stop to farm weapon blueprints, and mostly crowded even outside peak hours. Expect other Raiders and ARCs, especially early in the raid. Night Raids make it an even more attractive spot due to higher loot density.

Find and Flip the Power Switch Inside the Pattern House

Enter this power switch room left of the stairs inside Pattern House.

Enter Pattern House through the main entrance, facing the open approach with the patterned exterior walls. Once inside, head left toward the staircase on the ground floor. Enter the small, dim room to the left of the stairs.

Flip the power switch in the ground floor room.

You will see a power switch beside the wall with an interactable terminal. Approach it and flip the switch, which completes the first objective of Our Presence Up There. This room is tight and quiet, so be careful of the surroundings before you enter. Opponents can pass through here on their way upstairs.

Reach the Rooftop and Activate the Antenna

Take zipline to the rooftop.

Once the power is reactivated, head to the right on the ground floor from the stairs and use the zipline from the open elevator area to move to the rooftop.

The antenna terminal can be found near the southern edge of the rooftop, clearly seen from a distance in yellow. Interact with it to activate the antenna and complete the quest.

Once the antenna is installed, you’re free to do whatever makes sense for the run. Pattern House usually spawns good loot to grab, especially if the building hasn’t been stripped yet. That said, the nearby North Complex Elevator extraction is convenient and dangerous. ARC patrols and player ambushes are common, so don’t assume it’s a free exit.

Our Presence Up There Rewards

Completing Our Presence Up There earns you these rewards:

  • Buried City Town Hall Key
  • Raider Hatch Key
  • Jolt Mines x3

For a quest that takes only a couple of minutes once you’re inside the building, the payout is absolutely worth it.
