Searching the Buses Near the Western Gate
If you are looking for A Wrench in the Works in Arc Raiders, you won't find it in the usual seaside paradise. This quest, introduced in the Riven Tides update, takes you back to Spaceport, where Celeste is investigating signs of a mutiny.
While it is a relatively short mission, players often struggle because the western gate is not a marked location on your map. To find the first objective, head to the main road on the west side of the map, specifically the path leading between the Departure Building and the Arrival Building toward the Water Towers.
To successfully progress through the first stage of A Wrench in the Works, follow these steps:
- Locate the junction at the east end of the road where it connects to the Departure Building.
- Look for a red and blue shipping container pushed up against a nearby rock.
- Find the bus parked at this junction.
- Enter the bus and interact with the notes stuck on the wall behind the driver's seat.
Locating Sabotage Supplies at the Water Towers
Once you have processed the notes, your next task is to find a stash of sabotage supplies. You will need to head northwest to the far corner of the Spaceport map to reach the Water Towers area. This area is quite remote, so it may be unfamiliar if you haven't explored this section of the map yet.
Upon arriving, locate the northernmost water tower and begin climbing the available scrap metal. You are looking for a narrow ledge where you will find a box of sabotage supplies tucked behind you.
After you find the supplies, simply interact with them to transmit the location back to Celeste in Speranza. Interacting with this stash completes A Wrench in the Works, and luckily, you'll find yourself just a short distance away from an extraction lift.
