You’re probably already familiar with the standard extraction methods in Arc Raiders, such as elevators, trains, or air shafts depending on the map you’re playing. Raider Hatches, however, offer a quicker and more convenient way to escape back to Speranza—provided you have a Raider Hatch Key. You’ll first be introduced to these special escape points during the Hatch Repair quest, which also requires you to fix a Raider Hatch as part of its objectives.
You don’t need to extract in order to finish Hatch Repairs, but as you’ll see later on, the quest naturally sets you up to do so if you want. Regardless of your plan, it’s always smart to load in with a free loadout. That way, you won’t risk losing any valuable gear or weapons if things go south while completing the quest.
Once you’re ready to tackle Hatch Repairs, follow the steps below to locate a Raider Hatch and get it repaired.
The first step in repairing a Raider Hatch is finding one in the first place. Fortunately, the Dam Battlegrounds map features several Raider Hatches, so the best option for you will depend on where you spawn. Below are four possible locations where you can find a Raider Hatch. Simply choose the one closest to your spawn—or wherever you happen to be during your run—and make your way there.
As a quick side note, this quest can also be completed on other maps since Raider Hatches exist across all locations. That said, because Hatch Repairs is an early-game quest, we’ve chosen to focus on Dam Battlegrounds for this guide. This map is available to every player right away, whereas other maps only unlock after you’ve completed a certain number of matches.
Once you reach a Raider Hatch, repairing it is extremely straightforward. All you need to do is interact with the pipe sticking out of the hatch. In-game, this pipe will glow yellow, clearly signaling that it can be interacted with.
After interacting with the pipe, you’ll have successfully completed the Hatch Repairs quest. Before moving on, keep in mind that completing this step will cause a small container to spawn near the hatch. Inside, you’ll find a Raider Hatch Key, which can be used to extract through any Raider Hatch.
At this point, your quest objectives are finished, so there’s no requirement to use the key immediately. You’re free to continue exploring the map if you’d like. However, if you’re ready to head out, the Raider Hatch provides a fast and easy way to return safely to Speranza.
