ARC Raiders Back On Top Quest Guide: All Locations, Fastest Route, Rewards, And Tips
Last Updated: June 2026
Back On Top is one of the easiest but most confusing quests in ARC Raiders. Unlike combat-heavy missions, this quest requires players to travel across multiple maps and establish your faction’s presence by marking strategic locations.
The challenge isn’t fighting enemies. The real challenge is surviving long enough to visit every landmark without getting killed by ARC machines or enemy Raiders.
This guide shows every location, the fastest route, and tips to complete the quest quickly.
