Arc Raiders Flickering Threat Quest Guide

Quests in Arc Raiders really seem to love throwing repair jobs your way, and at this point, you’re probably starting to feel like a certified underground electrician. Flickering Threat is yet another one of those missions, tasking you with heading into the Dam Battlegrounds map to fix a malfunctioning power generator. No breaks today, unfortunately. If you’re unsure where to go or what exactly needs to be done, Gamer Choice has you covered.

You won’t need to extract in order to complete Flickering Threat, but there is one important requirement you can’t ignore. You must have 4 Wires in your inventory to repair the generator during the quest. You can either bring these with you ahead of time or loot them from the Power Generation Complex while you’re exploring the area. Without the wires, the quest cannot be progressed at all.

Once you’re geared up and ready to proceed, follow the steps below to complete Flickering Threat.

Where to find the Generator Hall

The Generator Hall can be found on the left side of the Power Generation Complex, which is located in the northern section of the Dam Battlegrounds map. This area sees a lot of action, with both ARC machines and enemy raiders frequently passing through, so it’s a good idea to be ready for combat before heading inside.

After arriving at the Generator Hall, you’ll receive an objective prompt telling you to repair the generator. Hopefully, you remembered to bring those 4 Wires.

How to repair the Generator

To begin the repair process, go to the location shown on the map above and search for long openings in the ground. These gaps allow you to drop directly into the Generator Hall. While there are doors and hallways that also lead into the room, dropping in from above is the fastest and most efficient option.

Once you’re inside the Generator Hall, position yourself between the two elevators. Look toward the end of the westernmost elevator, where you’ll see an interaction prompt allowing you to repair the generator using 4 Wires. Interact with it to complete the repair step, but don’t leave just yet—you’ll still need to restore the power.

Exit the Generator Hall through the southernmost door at the end of the hallway. From there, head up the stairs and pass through two more doors. After that, turn immediately left and go through another two doors. Inside this room, you’ll find a box tucked into the corner. Interact with it to flip the power switch and fully complete the Flickering Threat quest.

In the same room, you’ll also find a staircase that leads back up to the surface, placing you very close to the North Complex Elevator. This extraction point can be used to return to Speranza. Be cautious, however, as raiders often camp this area and may be waiting to ambush unsuspecting players. Take your time, stay behind cover, and only move when it’s safe while waiting for the elevator to arrive.
