In Arc Raiders, each Expedition resets your quest progress—here’s how to conquer every mission.
December 17, 2025: We’ve added the Cold Snap update quests to the list.
Arc Raiders is packed with an impressive array of quests. Seriously, tackle a few, and you’ll find even more popping up, presenting some of the most challenging and obscure tasks you can think of. While these missions don’t grant XP, they’re a fantastic way to familiarize yourself with the game and earn a variety of gear and customization options as rewards.
However, don’t think you can just breeze through these quests once and forget about them. If you decide to send your character on an Expedition—essentially a wipe or account reset—your quest progress will reset along with your gear and upgrades. If you weren’t aware of this, I’m sorry to break the news.
Completing these quests, whether for the first time or on a replay, can be quite the undertaking. To help you out, I’ll outline all the missions, their objectives, and the most efficient strategies to complete them.
Currently, there are 66 quests in Arc Raiders. Out of these, 60 are interconnected missions from the main vendors, while the remaining six are tied to the Blue Gate and Stella Montis maps. Some quests will have you visiting specific locations, while others require you to loot certain items or take down specific Arc machines.
If you’re ever unsure whether an item is needed for a quest or one of the many upgrades, refer to the Arc Raiders loot guide.
Here’s the complete mission list as it stands:
