If you have been grinding through Arc Raiders lately, chances are you’ve picked up the Fragmented Logs side quest. It is a multi-step objective that tasks you with visiting three specific terminal locations across the Stella Montis map. The good news is that you don’t need to hit all three targets in a single, perfect deployment—your progress saves across multiple runs, which takes off a lot of the pressure. The bad news? These areas are heavily guarded by Shredders, so you'll want to pack a solid loadout and prepare for some serious resistance.
Crucial Preparation Requirement
Before you queue up and drop into the raid, there is one critical item you need to put into your inventory: an Electrical Component. You absolutely need this item to repair the very first terminal in the quest sequence.
Pro-Tip / Alternative: If you forget to bring one from your stash, don't panic just yet. You can technically find them mid-raid by scavenging downed droids or recycling electronic junk like old phones or drivers. That said, relying on random loot drops mid-raid can waste a lot of time and put you in unnecessary danger. Just bring one with you from Spironzo to save yourself the headache.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1. Repair the Out-of-Service Terminal
Your first stop is the center of the Stella Montis map, specifically the Robotic Sandbox area. Look for the large sandboxes labeled A and B. You need to head up to the elevated control rooms overlooking the main sandbox floor on the second level. You can get up there either by crossing the northern bridge running above the massive ramp or by hopping onto the moving cherry picker crane. Once you are inside the elevated control room, look for an ordinary-looking computer console. Interact with it and insert your Electrical Component to lock in the first phase.
2. Enable Power in the Conduit Backroom
With the first terminal repaired, drop back down to the ground floor of the Robotic Sandbox where the sand and heavy machinery sit. You need to look along the perimeter walls for the conduit backrooms. Specifically, look for the door marked Control Room A3 on the northeastern edge of Sandbox A (depending on your exact path, you might also approach from Rooms B2 or B3). Walk all the way to the back wall past the server stacks, and you will find a small power switch lever. Flip it to power up the mainframe, setting up the final objective.
3. Boot the Mainframe Data Terminal
Now you need to move to an entirely different section of the map. Head over to the far eastern side to reach the Cultural Archives. Once inside, navigate deep into the corner towards the service backrooms, which are packed with server units and cabinets. To the right of these servers, you will spot an interactive desk console. Walk up to the computer, interact with it, and boot up the system to finalize the logs.
Quest Rewards
The moment you interact with the final terminal, the quest will automatically pop as complete. The best part is that you do not need to successfully extract to keep your quest progress. Even if you get taken down right after, the hard work is done.
