Arc Raiders Bees! Quest Guide

Arc Raiders might be the last place you’d expect to go searching for a beehive, but that’s exactly what the perfectly titled Bees! quest asks you to do—nice little wink from Embark Studios with that Arrested Development nod. This short and fairly simple objective sends you into Blue Gate to grab a honey-packed hive from the Olive Grove POI, and we’ll walk you through exactly where to track it down.

To receive credit for completing the quest, you must successfully extract with the beehive in your inventory. Because of that, it’s highly recommended to equip an augment that includes a safe pocket so you can stash the quest item securely—just in case another raider decides to get aggressive while you’re minding your own business. Thankfully, the bees themselves won’t be causing you any trouble.

When you’re ready to get your hands a little sticky, here’s everything you need to know about locating a beehive for the Bees! quest.

Where to find a Beehive for the Bees! Quest

To grab a beehive, you’ll need to head over to the Olive Grove point of interest on the Blue Gate map. This POI sits in the southern portion of the map and is often crawling with activity, since Olives are a valuable resource that many raiders are hunting for. Because of this, expect potential encounters and be prepared—unless you’re feeling bold enough to wave and try to make a temporary ally instead of catching stray bullets.

Once you reach the marked location shown above, you’ll spot a small shack. As you approach, you might even hear the faint buzzing of bees nearby. Check underneath the overhang on the side of the shack’s roof and you’ll see the beehive hanging there, surrounded by a swarm of tiny bees. Simply interact with it to pick it up and add it to your inventory.

After securing the beehive, your next step is to extract safely and return to Speranza to complete the Bees! quest. The Forest Airshaft is located to the northwest, while the Overlook Airshaft lies to the northeast. Choose whichever extraction point is currently open and best fits the remaining raid timer, as both routes can be equally risky. Stay alert for hostile raiders and roaming ARC units, activate the extraction button, descend into the shaft, and interact with the terminal to make your way back to Speranza and finalize the quest.
