Rewards

Worth Your Salt in Arc Raiders is a quest where players have to find a special battery, charge it and delivery it, all within a single area in the Spaceport Rocket Assembly building. This is a quest with a history of glitches and bugs that mean some people have struggled to finish it at all. However, assuming that it doesn't bug out, finishing the Worth your Salt mission is pretty simple: you need to find a prototype battery, charge it up using the machinery nearby, then drop it in a delivery crate. From that point on, you can extract whenever you want, and considering this quest has one of the better rewards in Arc Raiders, it's definitely worth doing ASAP.

Worth Your Salt is a relatively simple mission in Arc Raiders, as you simply need to go to one warehouse and interact with several objects to tick it off. Here's how you do it:

Go to the Spaceport Rocket Assembly building, specifically the Northmost section of the warehouse.

In the corner of the room on the upper walkway, on the right side of the open doorway by the red lockers, is a small crate you can interact with to search for and pick up a battery.
Pick up the battery and carry it one of the two red machines in the middle of the room. There'll be a small grey console at the side to insert the battery into.

Interact with the machinery to charge the battery. This will take a moment, but when it's done, it will spit out the charged battery for you to pick up again.
Carry the battery to the delivery point. This is a small crate in the North corner of the room, on the left side of the doorway, where you'll get an interaction prompt to insert the battery into the box. At this point, the mission will be complete and you can extract whenever you want.

The last step is where the mission has a high glitch rate: after anybody in the match has used the delivery crate, it can sometimes be stuck and unusable for everybody after that point. If that happens, there's no solution but to extract and try again in a different match.

Worth Your Salt rewards

The only reward for completing Worth Your Salt is one of the Arc Raiders blueprints - specifically, a blueprint for the Vita Spray, an Epic rarity healing item. If you have the blueprint unlocked already, you can sell it for 5000 coins.
