ARC Raiders new update brings a variety of different changes and content. One change that you’ll notice is that you can no longer get the guitar via the Buried City puzzle. The buttons have been disabled and the method is not relevant anymore.
Instead, there is a new way to get it. In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how you can obtain it. Let’s get into it!
How to Get Guitar Guide (AFTER UPDATE)
The guitar can no longer be unlocked by completing the puzzle in the Buried City after Update 1.13.
Instead, you will need to go to the Traders. Specifically, you’ll need to visit Shani. He’s the same NPC that you go to for the bombing run quest.

Here, you’ll be able to purchase the Guitar which counts as a Legendary item. You can only purchase one at a time and there is a time limit before you can purchase it again.
The Guitar will cost you 70 Credits.
If you’re wondering how to generate Credits, you can complete Feats which give you 10 Credits each.
After you purchase it, simply drag it into your Quick Slot. From here, just press the fire or shoot button to use it. Doing so will allow you to use it and strum away to distract enemies or just show people your musical skills!

Final Thoughts
That’s everything you need to know about getting the Guitar in Arc Raiders after Update 1.13. It is a bit easier now to get the Guitar because completing the puzzle was quite a hassle. However, some players are complaining that they’ve lost the opportunity for bragging rights now. But let me know what you think!
