Finding an Arc Raiders Field Depot for the Off The Radar quest can be a difficult task if you don’t know where to look. This quest from Shani the Trader is pretty simple, however, just requiring you to repair the antenna on the roof of a Field Depot. Thankfully, there are six of them on the Dam Battlegrounds map, but they're hidden amongst and between the many POIs and other buildings to explore.

To help you tackle this important quest, I’ve outlined where you can find Field Depots.

How to find Field Depots

The easiest way to find Field Depots is by looking for a small, metal building with a tall tower on its roof holding an antenna. There are quite a few of them on the Dam Battlegrounds map, and the map above points out some of their locations.

Although you can find Field Depots on other maps, this is the first map available to players, and since there are six of them on this map, it’s easy to spawn close to one from the get-go. (Which is why it's also a good option for getting Arc Raiders supply drops.)

Upon making it to one of the many Field Depots listed above, climb on top of the roof using a ladder to repair the antenna. Interact with it, and your Raider will take some time to finish the job. Make sure there aren’t any enemies nearby, or else they may spot you on the roof and you’ll be vulnerable for a few seconds. Make sure you've got your best Arc Raiders weapons if you can, 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 the later Down To Earth quest you need to deliver a Field Crate to a Supply Station, which is the device pictured above that's inside every Field Depot. Field Crates are the boxes you find and have to carry two-handed, so it pays to know where the Field Depots in Arc Raiders are so you can take it to your nearest one. Once the Field Crate is delivered to the Supply Station, you can interact with the panel next to it to receive a decent selection of loot for your efforts, and get you a nice advantage to carry you forward in Arc Raiders.
