How to Complete the Stable Housing Quest in ARC Raiders
The ‘Stable Housing’ quest stands out as one of the most immersive tasks introduced with the latest Shrouded Sky update in ARC Raiders. Facing a Rust Belt battered by brutal hurricanes and dynamic map conditions, players must now adapt to ever-changing environments and unpredictable PvP risks—especially in infamous hotspots like Stella Montis.
Getting Started: Meeting Tian Wen
Begin your journey by heading to Tian Wen, the trusted weapon merchant and quest-giver whose involvement is essential to progressing through this new chapter. Tian Wen will lay out your primary objective: infiltrate Stella Montis to secure a mysterious item. As always, it’s strongly recommended to prepare gear that includes a safe pocket—protecting mission-critical items from potential losses during extraction is no longer optional here, given Stella Montis’ reputation for PvP conflict.
Locating the Security Bridge in Stella Montis
Upon entering Stella Montis, your first destination is the Security Bridge, which slices through the third floor of the Lobby—an area well-known for its medium-tier loot but even more so for tense player encounters. To navigate, use the map’s ping feature for general orientation, but trust your senses: diegetic signage painted near doorways will guide you. Look for the telltale ‘Lobby’ marking as you close in on your goal.
Finding and Opening the Safe
Next, hunt for a small but crucial room on the east end of the Security Bridge. The wall outside is marked with a large number 3—your indicator for the correct floor. In the rear right corner, a nondescript desk hosts the locked safe you need. At first, your instinct may be to hunt for an access card. Ascend to the fourth floor: the access card printer is waiting on another desk, but don’t be fooled—interacting with this glitched printer will leave you empty-handed.
Instead, double back to the third floor. Just inside the doorway, a cluttered bulletin board holds your solution. Inspect the notes pinned across its worn surface to reveal the safe’s numerical code—one of ARC Raiders’ more immersive environmental puzzles. Return to the safe, input the code, and open it to discover the much-needed blueprints inside.
Securing and Extracting Project Heartwood Blueprints
The blueprints you recover are known as Project Heartwood Blueprints—a vital quest item. Here lies a crucial tip: immediately store the blueprints in your safe pocket. This ensures that even if PvP threats force an early exit, your hard-earned quest item returns safely to Speranza with you. Underestimating this step can erase all your hard work, so be vigilant.
Quest Completion: The Return to Tian Wen
Once the blueprints are secure, head back to Tian Wen to complete the quest and collect your reward. With this, ‘Stable Housing’ is checked off your ARC Raiders quest log, and you’ll find yourself one step closer to mastering the hurricane-ravaged Rust Belt and its evolving dangers.
