Below, you’ll find a table listing all the Arc Raiders quests in chronological order that are currently available. More are expected as Embark releases updates. You can pick up quests from traders back in Speranza and report back once you’ve completed their respective objectives to claim your rewards. 

We’ve also listed the quest giver, the objectives, and any rewards up for grabs. Note that there’s a progression or taxonomy to the quests, so you’ll need to complete missions to unlock new ones, which in turn furthers what we’ll loosely call Arc Raiders’ story.
