The 'After Rain Comes' quest in Arc Raiders* presents a rare twist for players accustomed to looting and escaping: instead of carrying loot out of a match, you must bring supplies in. Celeste’s request to repair a flooded solar panel in Buried City hinges on one critical step—collecting the right components before entering the zone.
Unlike most missions where players scavenge for loot after defeating enemies, this quest demands preparation. Players must gather five wires and two batteries before attempting the repair, as these items unlock the interaction with the damaged solar panels. Without them, the flooded panels remain inaccessible, leaving the mission incomplete.
Where to Find the Required Supplies
The wires and batteries can be sourced in two primary ways
- Scavenging from tech-rich areas: Search computers, server cabinets, and other electronic equipment in Buried City’s Electrical, Technological, and Residential districts—including Space Travel, Research, Santa Maria Houses, and Grandioso Apartments. On Dam Battlegrounds, focus on Power Generation Complex, Research & Administration, and the Control Tower.
- Recycling common items: Power Cables, Power Banks, Portable TVs, Toasters, and Heatsinks can be recycled to yield the necessary wires and batteries.
Once collected, these items must be kept secure—using a safepocket is recommended to prevent loss during chaotic matches.
The Solar Panel Repair Location
With the supplies in hand, head to Buried City. The target is a yellow electrical box situated beneath a set of large solar panels, located on the east side of Grandioso Apartments, near the southwest pond. Approach the box to trigger the repair prompt, where the gathered wires and batteries will restore functionality to the flooded panels.
The mission concludes with a modest reward—five blue light sticks, five durable cloths, and three antiseptics—but the real satisfaction comes from completing a quest that deviates from the typical extraction-based gameplay. While the rewards may be modest, the challenge of preparation and execution makes 'After Rain Comes' a standout in Arc Raiders*’ quest lineup.
