Waking the Grid is one of Shani’s new quests added with the Flashpoint update in ARC Raiders. It sends you to three different locations across Spaceport to bring the security grid back online. It sounds simple, and honestly it is once you know where to go. Even better, you do not need to extract anything to complete it, so you can drop in with a free loadout if you want to keep things low risk.

The only thing working against you is that Spaceport is never empty. ARC enemies and other raiders will be out there. In this guide, I will cover exactly where each location is so you can get the whole thing done as quickly as possible.

Waking the Grid Quest Guide

The first thing you need to do is activate the sensors inside a guard tower. There are multiple guard towers scattered around Spaceport, and you only need to visit one of them. Once you are inside, look for the computer terminal and interact with it to activate the sensors. To make things easier for you, I have marked the locations of three guard towers on the map below so you can head to whichever one is closest to your spawn.

Departure Building

Once you have activated the sensors in the guard tower, your next stop is the Departure Building. Head to the specific side of the building which I have marked on the map below. You will find an opening into the building there and that is the quickest way in for this quest.

Once you are in, head straight into the room in front of you and look towards the right corner. There will be a computer terminal sitting there. Interact with it to bring it online and that is the second objective done.

Arrival Building

Now for the final objective. You need to make your way over to the Arrival Building. Just like before, I have marked the exact entrance you need on the map below.

Head through the door and once you are inside, turn left. You will spot a device with a red light on it. Interact with it to cut the wires and that wraps up the final objective.

Here’s a quick walkthrough of the “Waking The Grid” quest from start to finish.

That’s It

And with that, you are done! Waking the Grid is one of the more straightforward quests Shani has to offer. Three locations, no item extraction, and you can knock the whole thing out in a single run pretty easily.

If you are still working through Shani’s new Flashpoint quests, the Last Entry quest is another one worth completing. Check out my guide to get through it without any hassle.
