How to rewire the solar panel

The Eyes on the Prize Arc Raiders quest is one set in the Buried City where you have to rewire a solar panel, but finding the location of the secluded roof terrace where it's waiting is easier said than done. Not only that, but you'll need specific items once you get there to actually repair and rewire it, but those items aren't too hard to obtain if you know where to look - and more specifically, what to destroy. Here's everything you need to know about the Eyes on the Prize Arc Raiders quest.

How to complete the Eyes on the Prize quest in Arc Raiders

Eyes on the Prize is broken into two major objectives:

Find the Secluded Roof Terrace in Buried City
Rewire the Solar Panel using wires from your inventory

Of course we'll go into more detail on these below, but I definitely recommend you have three Wires in your inventory when you start the quest, for expediency's sake. It's far easier to obtain them in Speranza than out in the field, either by buying them or scrapping items in your inventory,

The Secluded Roof Terrace in Arc Raiders is west of the Southern Station, marked by a blue tarp which is a more obvious identifier when you know where you're going. It's shown on the map above. Head to the roof and you'll find a tiny raider outpost covered by the blue tarp, along with some electrical equipment. Here you'll be tasked with the second part of the mission to rewire the solar panel and get it working again.

Rewiring the Solar Panel requires you to use three Wires from your inventory, which means you either have to bring them with you into the mission, or find them in Buried City and then bring them over to the Solar Panel.

Obviously, bringing three wires in with you is the easiest option but if you forget (like I definitely didn't) you can pick them up once you're in an Arc Raiders game. As explained in our Arc Raiders loot cheat sheet, Wires are found in both Electrical and Technological locations. In the Buried City, that means you should check the Research Building and Space Travel Building. Otherwise, check your inventory for items you might have picked up that can be broken down into Wires themselves, including (but not limited to):

Broken Handheld Radio
Broken Taser
Humidifier
Portable TV
Power Bank
Projector
Voltage Converter
