Finding an Arc Raiders Field Depot is a handy way to get some loot and essential for the Off The Radar quest from Shani. It can be a difficult task if you don’t know where to look or what to do, as there are a few steps you need to work out.
The Off The Radar quest from Shani basically introduces Field Depots and is simple overall - just requiring you to repair an antenna on the roof. The best place to do this is Dam Battlegrounds where you'll find six, meaning you should be close to one wherever you spawn. If you've never seen one though it can be tricky to know what to look for among the many POIs and other buildings to explore.
To help you tackle this quest, I’ve outlined below where you can find Field Depots.
How to find Field Depots in Arc Raiders
The easiest way to find Field Depots in Arc Raiders is by looking for a small, metal building with a tall antenna on its roof holding. There are quite a few of them on the Dam Battlegrounds map, and the map above points out some of their locations.
You can find Field Depots on other maps by looking for the same thing but with six of them on Dam it's the best place to learn what they look like, with less risk, before you try anywhere else. It's also a good option for getting Arc Raiders supply drops if you need any.
When you find a Field Depot, climb on to the roof to repair the antenna - interact with it and your Raider will take a moment to fix it. Just make sure there aren’t any enemies nearby who might spot you on the roof as you’ll be vulnerable for a few seconds. Make sure you've got your best Arc Raiders weapons in case of a fight, and check out my recommended Arc Raider skills to make sure you have the best options there.
After that, the job is complete, and you can claim your rewards back at the main menu from Shani. The Trader will give you a black color swatch for your hiker backpack cosmetic for fulfilling her request.
How to deliver a Field Crate to a Supply Station in Arc Raiders
The Down To Earth quest will want you to deliver a Field Crate to a Supply Station, which is inside every Field Depot. Field Crates are large boxes found randomly nearby and have to be carried two-handed. You'll be defenceless while you do that, so make sure it's safe and you know where the nearest Field Depot is if you happen to find a crate first. Once the Field Crate is delivered to the Supply Station, you can interact with the panel next to it to receive a good selection of loot for your efforts in Arc Raiders.
