Navigate the A Balanced Harvest Quest in Arc Raiders Like a Pro

Arc Raiders quests often lead players to the Research & Administration building located in the Dam Battlegrounds. One notable quest, A Balanced Harvest, requires you to visit this chaotic location to retrieve important files related to a research project. Getting in and out safely can prove to be challenging, so we have crafted a guide to help you complete your objectives swiftly.

You may want to take a free kit with you for this quest, as extraction is not necessary. If you happen to perish in the bustling Research & Administration building—where you must complete your objectives—you’ll want to protect your valuable gear. However, if you enjoy PvP, you can come prepared for the combat-centric nature of this point of interest. The choice is yours.

Once you’re ready to go through with the A Balanced Harvest quest, follow this guide for each step.

Go to the Research & Administration building

Your first task is to make your way to the Research & Administration Building in the Dam Battlegrounds.

This location is known for heavy traffic, largely due to several contested key rooms, making it common to encounter other raiders. If your lobbies are particularly hostile because of frequent PvP interactions, you might find navigating this area might be tricky. Prepare yourself accordingly.

For the most efficient quest completion, enter the Research and Administration building from the southwest entrance. As you enter, you will arrive directly in the reception area where your objective will update, prompting you to locate Lab 1 on the upper floor.

Locate Lab 1 on the upper floor above the reception

From the reception area, utilize the zipline located on the back wall to ascend.

Once at the top, take the pathway to your right.

Follow this path until you reach the first door on your left, which leads to Lab 1.

Your objective will change, now requiring you to find traces of the agricultural research project.

Search for any traces of the agricultural research project

Inside Lab 1, you are nearly finished. Simply interact with the pile of papers on a desk located in the center of the room to find the necessary trace of the agricultural research project.

Upon completion, you will have finished the A Balanced Harvest quest. You can then choose to loot the area or engage in combat, it’s entirely up to you.
