The Shrouded Sky Update: New Challenges Await
ARC Raiders continues to evolve with its major Shrouded Sky content expansion, keeping the pulse of extraction shooter fans racing. Alongside the introduction of fresh robot threats and the notoriously savage Hurricane weather condition, this update adds layered narrative quests—one of the most intriguing being ‘Keeping An Eye Out’. If you’re after narrative-driven objectives that keep your gameplay engaging, this quest is a must-try.
How to Start ‘Keeping An Eye Out’
As soon as your game is up-to-date with the Shrouded Sky patch, seek out Celeste in Speranza. She quickly involves you in the search for her missing acquaintance, Bilguun. The quest may seem simple, but ARC Raiders specializes in hiding clever twists within seemingly straightforward missions.
Navigating to the Collapsed Highway
Your main hunting ground is the Blue Gate map. Celeste sends you to locate the collapsed highway near the southern border of the Barren Clearing. While there is a label called Highway Collapse on the southwest, the specific spot you want lies just northwest of that marker. Look for the distinct broken concrete path—following this will prompt the next stage. Remember, the developers craft environmental cues intentionally; paying attention to details often means the difference between wandering aimlessly and progressing efficiently.
Locating Bilguun’s Shelter: Parkour Matters
Upon reaching the correct overpass, your quest advances: find Bilguun’s Shelter and search for clues. This step gets tricky. The shelter isn’t on the ground—it’s tucked away inside an elevated, hollowed-out highway segment that hasn’t collapsed. Tech skills matter: approach from the southeast and climb onto the highway, where you can deploy a handy zipline if you find it.
You have options here for the final ascent:
- Risk-free Route: Stand on the ledge above the hideout. Back off gently to grab onto the lower ledge and drop into the shelter below.
- Stylish Entry: Use the zipline, timing your leap to perfection. Expect to expend a few more bandages if you fumble—with ARC Raiders’ signature high-stakes traversal, healing items are always valuable.
Documenting the Evidence
Inside the shelter, you’ll find a wall plastered with distinctive graffiti—numerous watching eyes, the quest’s visual motif. At this point, prompt the photo interaction. Your character pulls out their camera, snaps the picture, and completes the quest’s main task. The game’s narrative drip-feed enhances immersion, making these details invaluable for fans keen on lore.
No extraction is required to finish the quest; once you have the picture, simply head out. However, be careful—leaping out can deplete about half your health if you’re not careful. If you come in low, pause to use a bandage before the jump.
What Happens Next?
When your travels take you back to Speranza, speak to Celeste. She will reward you for your update on Bilguun’s fate—even if the search itself raises more questions than answers. This blend of mystery and practical exploration is what keeps ARC Raiders at the forefront of narrative-focused shooters.
Technical & Gameplay Insights
Powered by Unreal Engine 5, ARC Raiders presents environments with remarkable verticality and destructibility. The Blue Gate map exemplifies the game’s world-building philosophy—desolate, dangerous, but inviting to adventurous Raiders. The extraction shooter genre thrives on these layers of exploration and risk-reward scenarios, and ‘Keeping An Eye Out’ is a subtle tutorial in creative pathfinding, environmental awareness, and memorizing the landscape for future runs.
