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. His current specialty in videogames is the cozy life-sim game Disney Dreamlight Valley, his new obsession in the genre. 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.
Even though deciphering the data didn’t work out, Apollo still isn’t going to give up on helping Speranza in ARC Raiders. There are plenty of buildings left standing after the First Wave, so the people of the past definitely knew how to construct buildings capable of withstanding a lot.
Apollo is thinking that there must still be some information on their construction somewhere, especially if many of these resilient buildings are still standing, so he’ll need a Raider to go Topside for him. Your best bet for information is to head to The Blue Gate and check the surviving research stations scattered among the mountains.
How To Find The Construction Research
Wear at least a Looting MK. I Augment for this quest, so you can put the Blue Gate Communication Tower Key in your Safe Pocket and prevent yourself from losing it if something goes wrong.
Go to Pilgrim’s Peak, a medium-sized building at the northwest corner of the map, and head inside, past the two large rooms full of servers, and you’ll find a locked door in the corner of a long hallway.
Unlock it and look for the whiteboard on the wall, near where the Weapons Crate spawns, and you’ll get a prompt to inspect it. Do so to complete the second objective of the quest.
Where To Find The Buildings From The Whiteboard
Your final objective is finding the buildings specified on the whiteboard, and they can be found at the Abandoned Housing Project point of interest to the southeast of Pilgrim’s Peak, near the edge of the map.
Just going near the three half-built homes will complete the third quest objective, and the last one will be to photograph the houses. Go to the small ridge just above the third house with a satellite dish and some machinery on top, and you’ll get a prompt to take a photo.
This’ll complete the quest, and you can return to Speranza, with the closest extraction point being the one at the Overlook Airshaft if you’re running out of time.
