Eyes in the Sky Quest Guide – Arc Raiders

Home » Arc Raiders » Eyes in the Sky Quest Guide – Arc Raiders

In Arc Raiders, not every quest is about killing ARCs or extracting loot. Eyes in the Sky is a longer, map-spanning objective that rewards map knowledge and positioning, rather than raw combat skill.

Your task is simple on paper:
install LIDAR scanners at three elevated locations across different maps. The challenge lies in getting there safely.
