Haven Smith is a freelance creative and professional writing with a huge focus on fantasy novels and video game articles. He has over five years of personal writing experience, three years of personal editing experience, and a passion for writing of all kinds. In personal accomplishments alone, Haven is currently hard at work on a 103k word fantasy novel. Professionally, Haven strives to provide fun, clearly written, and factual articles about the games he plays, and help the reader progress further in them.

When Haven isn’t working on writing projects such as novels or game articles, his time is spent gaming, either playing Disney Dreamlight Valley for fun and to continue providing helpful guides, or one of the many other games he enjoys. Two of his partners in writing (and the occasional bit of mischief) include his pair of cats, Zell and Penelo, both named after Final Fantasy Characters.
Since ARC ruined humanity, trading, scavenging, and black markets make up much of the shopping in Arc Raiders. Even the most legitimate vendor might be getting guns or other goods from a less-than-reputable source in the end, but many, like Tian Wen, supplement their income and supply via the black market or help from Raiders.
A Symbol Of Unification is a mini quest in Arc Raiders that requires you to find a flag and hoist it in an outpost.
Staying on top of the gun market in a world with so many gun-toting Raiders and a need for the best weaponry against ARC means keeping supply lines open and finding better loot than your competitors. Tian Wen’s looking to secure her place as Speranza’s go-to woman for guns, or at the very least get better inventory, so it’s time to see where everyone’s getting their stuff at The Blue Gate.
Where To Find The Armored Patrol Key Card
Armored Transports is another quest from Tian Wen, and it’s unlocked by completing the previous quest, A New Type Of Plant. For this quest, you’ll need to head to The Blue Gate, and specifically to the Checkpoint region in the center of the map.
The Checkpoint can potentially spawn at least two Bastions, one outside and one inside, so you should come prepared with extra Shield Rechargers and Bandages in case they aggro onto you, or explosives if you intend to kill them and get their Bastion Cells.
Upon arriving, you’ll complete the first quest objective, and now you’ll need to find the Guard Posts in the area. These will be the small shacks outside the Outer Gates portion of the Checkpoint, near the bar gates.
Go into the last Guard Post on the left side of Checkpoint with no cars outside it, and you’ll see a set of yellow folders on the desk. Search through them to make the quest-specific Patrol Car Key drop, and make sure to put it in your Safe Pocket so it isn’t lost.
This quest doesn’t have to be completed in a single round, so if you’re low on time, you can just extract and keep the key with you for next time, or obtain a second key from the guard shack if you lose the first one.
Now you’ll need to find the armored car. It’s past the Outer Gates and in the Traffic Tunnel area that runs beneath the upper part of The Blue Gate, along with the Maintenance and Security Wings.
Go past the first few armored cars with open hatches while watching out for the few Fireballs and Pop Rollers that will be roaming the area, and you’ll find one with a closed back further into the tunnel, next to some concrete dividers.
Run into the maintenance room to the right of the entrance if you need cover from a Bastion or if several enemies rush you while you try to find the armored car. You can shut the door for complete safety from the middle of the area, and take them out slowly or wait for them to lose aggro.
Use the Patrol Key to open up the back of the car to complete the final objective, then you’re free to loot the Weapons Case in the back of the truck for a chance at some Rare Weapons and Modifications, such as the Osprey.

Extract and return to Speranza when ready, then speak to Tian Wen to turn in the quest. As a reward, you’ll get some EXP, unlock the Blue Yellow color for the Aviator Outfit, as well as receive three Smoke Grenades and three Defibrillators.
Time to try and figure out what the Official Toledo Tubes Management is up to.

“…or obtain a second key from the guard shack if you lose the first one.”
WRONG! The quest considers the key “obtained” once you have it the first time, and the action option is never available on the pages in the guard booth again. If you lose the original key, you’re stuck and out of luck. Some people report finding the key in other areas, but it is a rare spawn and a guaranteed location has not be discovered yet. Lockers below the gate and stashes in the village have both been offered as options, but those could have been the result of someone else looting the key from the original location and leaving it behind accidentally, breaking their own quest. It’s impossible to tell.
Basically, the quest needs a revisit from the developer to either make the key respawnable while you have the quest OR allow the quest to be abandoned and started again to reset the key spawn.
