Solving the Guitar and Hidden Button Puzzle in Arc Raiders

The Guitar puzzle in Buried City, often referred to as the Music Puzzle, involves hitting a series of musical tone buttons scattered throughout the map in a specific sequence. With a total of fifteen buttons to press, it can be quite a challenge in Arc Raiders, but the unique rewards—like Shakers and Acoustic Guitars—have piqued the interest of many players. If you’re looking to tackle the Guitar puzzle and need to know the button locations and the correct order, here’s what you need to get started.

Your goal is to unlock the door in Buried City near the Red Tower, which holds several Acoustic Guitars and other rewards. To do this, you must press all 15 buttons in the correct order. The accompanying map and list will guide you through the necessary locations and sequence.

Once you successfully press the fifteenth button, the locked door will open, granting you access to the rewards: Legendary Acoustic Guitars, Shakers, and more. While these items don’t have any gameplay mechanics, they serve as fun emotes, similar to the Recorders already available in Arc Raiders.

A crucial aspect of this puzzle is that all buttons must be pressed in the correct order. If any player from any team presses a button out of sequence, the entire process resets. This makes it nearly impossible to complete without teamwork or server-wide coordination, as a random player could disrupt your progress without you even realizing it.

Kudos to the community for their efforts, particularly the group that first solved this puzzle by interpreting the musical notes graffiti found near the locked door. While it may seem daunting, if you’re eager to rock out with friends, good luck on your quest!
