Arc Raiders After Rain Comes quest walkthrough – How to repair the solar panels

For the Arc Raiders After Rain Comes quest, Celeste sends you into Buried City to track down a cluster of flooded solar panels near the Grandioso Apartments. A flash flood tore through the area, and they need you to sort it out since the panels are only kept up and running by generators that are quickly running out of juice.

To complete the quest, you’ll need to repair the solar panels, but unlike more straightforward quests like Marked for Death and Keeping the Memory, you’ll need to bring some gear along with you for the repairs. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to complete the After Rain Comes quest in Arc Raiders.

How to repair the solar panels for the Arc Raiders After Rain Comes quest

First up, you’ll need to have x5 Wires and x2 Batteries in your inventory to complete the quest, so avoid a Free Loadout for this one. You can obtain these parts from areas marked as containing Electrical and Technological on all maps. 

Alternatively, you can buy the gear from Celeste in Speranza for the reasonable price of 30 Assorted Seeds. Lastly, you can find them once you’re in Buried City, but it makes the quest a lot more complicated than it needs to be.

Add the Wires and Batteries to your inventory and load into Buried City. Make your way over to the Grandioso Apartments in the southwest of the map in the West Village area.

You’ll want to head to the buried street immediately east of the apartments, north of the Abandoned Highway Camp, and west of the Old Town Hatch. Refer to the map image above for the exact spot.

You’ll spot several solar panels on the ground near a pool of water. Head to the cluster on the eastern side of the street. You’ll spot a yellow box with an electricity symbol on the front where the two northernmost panels meet. 

When you approach the box, it will show an ‘interact’ prompt along with the Wires and Batteries requirement. Tap E to interact and complete the repairs.

Repairing the solar panels will complete the quest. There’s no need to extract successfully. Once you’re back in Speranza, talk to Celeste to complete the Arc Raiders After Rain Comes quest and earn yourself x5 Blue Light Sticks, x3 Antiseptic, and x5 Durable Cloth for the trouble.
