“A Prime Specimen” is a quest you can do for Shani in ARC Raiders.

For this quest, Shani wants you to find and check out one of the ARC Deforesters. Those massive ARCs caused some massive destruction back in the day, as their name says. However, they’re no longer functioning. And we’re all thankful for that!

Let’s check out these Deforesters and complete this quest.

Obtain 2 ARC Powercells

The first step of this quest is the simplest one. For this one, you just need to loot 2 ARC Powercells. Conveniently, these are one of the most common resources in the entire game!

To get them, you just need to destroy and loot ARCs. Any ARC type should do, so you can stick to weaker ones, such as Wasps and Hornets. Those are quite plentiful, after all.

Do note, you need to do this on The Blue Gate. The quest requires you to do everything in one round, and the second objective is on that map! Keep that in mind.

Interact With Any ARC Deforester and Loot It

Next up, you’ll need to find one of the three ARC Deforesters on The Blue Gate. The map above shows their locations. Two of them are together at the northwestern edge, while a lone one is along the eastern part of the map.

Once you reach them, follow the steps on the clip below to interact with it and claim the loot hidden within.

The gist of it is that you need to enter the Deforester and interact with the exposed wiring. This will reveal a loot container that you can reach by jumping to the top part of the Deforester from the outside.

The quest should automatically complete as soon as you loot the Deforester. No need to bring anything back to Speranza!

Now, do note that a lot of players report that the quest is a bit buggy. Sometimes, you just can’t interact with the Deforester at all. It’s unknown if this is really a bug or if it’s just because another player got to it first.

Sadly, the only “solution” for that at this point is to just try again. It should eventually work, allowing you to complete the quest.

Regardless, that’s all you need to know to complete the “A Prime Specimen” quest in ARC Raiders. For help with more quests, check out our guide for the “Bombing Run” quest.
