Tackling the Arc Raiders Snap and Salvage Quest in Stella Montis
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A guide to completing the Snap and Salvage quest in Arc Raiders, detailing how to find rovers, secure restricted areas, and extract rare components from Stella Montis, based on reporting by Polygon.
Navigating the unforgiving corridors of Stella Montis in Embark Studios' Arc Raiders is no small feat, especially when you are hunting down specific objectives for the Snap and Salvage questline. Originally detailed in a guide by Ford James over at Polygon, this multi-step mission requires players to visit specific landmarks and successfully extract with rare components. Because Stella Montis currently holds the crown as the most hostile map in the game, checking off these tasks demands careful positioning and a bit of map awareness.
The quest splits into four distinct objectives that you can tackle in any order. First, you need to visit either Robotic Sandbox A or B on the lower section of the map to interact with beached rovers, keeping a sharp eye out for patrolling Shredders and automated wall turrets. Next, you have to head to the upper floors to breach the Security Restricted Access room near the Security Bridge and search a stack of papers while watching for wandering Arc threats and rival squads.
The final hurdle is the loot RNG, requiring you to secure both a Magnetron and a Flow Controller before extracting safely. Since these are standard Exodus items rather than quest-exclusive drops, your best bet is hitting high-tier loot zones like the Assembly Workshops or braving night raids for better spawn rates. To ensure you do not lose your hard-earned progress on the way out, consider equipping augments with safe pockets or utilizing the more easily defended Seed Vault extract.
