Arc Raiders Paving The Way Quest Guide

If you've encountered the Paving the Way quest in ARC Raiders, you might be trying to figure out where an ENELICA building is located or how to obtain the researcher's notes. Luckily, we've outlined every step required to complete Paving the Way below. Keep in mind that this mission sends you to two different maps, so finishing it will take a bit of exploration and patience.

Ideally, you should try to extract from each map once you've completed the objectives there. However, even if you die during the process, your progress for the quest will remain saved. Because of this, it's a smart idea not to bring your most valuable equipment. Other players are often completing the same quest, which can lead to dangerous encounters that might cost you your gear.

Once you're ready to progress through Paving the Way, follow the steps outlined below.

Go to any ENELICA Building

Several ENELICA buildings exist across ARC Raiders maps, but the most convenient location is the Water Treatment Center found on the Dam Battlegrounds map. This location is fairly easy to access and is located close to an extraction point, making it a quick stop before heading back to Speranza. It's also worth mentioning that this same location is required for the A Toxic Trail quest, allowing you to efficiently complete multiple objectives in one visit.

After reaching the Water Treatment Center, there's still one more task you must complete before leaving the area.

Search for a Notice Board with a Note from the Researcher

When you arrive at the Water Treatment Center, approach the building from the southern side to locate the primary entrance. Just outside this entrance you'll notice a notice board mounted nearby. Interact with the notice board to collect the researcher's note required for the quest.

Once you have the note, you can immediately extract using the Water Treatment Elevator located directly behind you. Your next destination will be the Buried City map.

On Buried City, reach the Top Floor above the Convinio at Piazza Roma

Your next step takes place in Buried City. Travel to the dual apartment buildings located at the Piazza Roma point of interest, which sits roughly in the central portion of the map. We've highlighted the exact location in the image below.

When you reach the apartment complex, you'll notice there are multiple entry points available. For the purposes of this guide, we recommend entering through the front door of the southern building. You can find this entrance positioned just above the nearby metro station entrance.

After entering the building, make your way up the stairs until you reach the very top floor, where the final step of the quest takes place.

Find the Researcher's Flat and Search for Research Data

At the top of the stairwell, move toward the back room of the apartment. Inside, you'll see a large set of monitors lining the wall. Interact with the prompt at this workstation to retrieve the research data needed to complete the objective.

Once this step is complete, you can extract using the metro station located directly beneath the apartment complex. Be cautious when heading down there, as some raiders like to wait near extraction points and ambush players attempting to leave. Move carefully, watch your surroundings, call the train, and make your escape back to Speranza.
