You've slogged through Clearer Skies and Trash into Treasure, so you're probably expecting another loud, messy shootout. Off the Radar isn't that. It's more like a quick bit of upkeep, and it helps if you treat it that way—grab what you need, stay light, and don't overthink it. If you've been stocking up on ARC Raiders Coins for early upgrades, this is one of those runs where better stamina tools and a cleaner kit actually matter more than raw damage.
The annoying part is the Field Depot itself. The map won't do you any favours, and the little house icon only pops when you're basically on top of it. So stop staring at the mini-map like it owes you answers. Head toward the Dam Battlegrounds and start reading the skyline instead. You're hunting for a tall, industrial antenna bolted onto a roof—straight lines, chunky base, the kind of thing that looks like it was meant to be seen from far out. On clear weather it's obvious. In haze, it's still there, just… squint and keep moving.
People mess this up by rushing the building the second they spot the antenna. Don't. Circle once. Quick scan. Check corners, doorways, the ladder approach. ARC patrols can be weird—sometimes it's quiet enough to hear your own footsteps, other times there's a drone tucked behind a wall like it's been waiting all day. If you've got a decoy or a quick throwable, keep it ready. You're not trying to win a war here, you're trying to buy yourself twenty seconds of calm.
Climb up, start the interaction, and accept that you're exposed. The repair noise is basically a dinner bell, and it's the exact moment the game loves to roll the dice on a fresh patrol. Keep your camera moving while the bar fills. The instant it completes, you're done—no extra steps, no "maybe I'll loot one more room." Mark the closest elevator, pick a route with cover, and manage your sprint so you're not wheezing in the open. Extraction is the real finish line, not the antenna.
If you want this to be a smooth in-and-out, bring a kit you can actually run with: light heals, enough ammo for one bad encounter, and space to grab a couple of useful drops on the way. It's also worth having a reliable way to top up your loadout between attempts—sites like RSVSR are handy when you're looking to buy game currency or items fast, so you can re-gear and re-queue without turning a simple maintenance quest into an all-night grind.
