Venturing into Blue Gate's Traffic Tunnel is a dangerous prospect, what with all the raiders and robots about, but that's exactly what Outstanding Balance asks you to do. This is one of the new quests in Arc Raiders' Flashpoint update, and it sees Tian Wen trying to recover her lost Bastion Cell from a raider named Dodger.

So, you need to find Dodger's stash inside the tunnel. But, surprise, surprise, there's more to it than that, and you must complete all the steps in a single round. Here's what you need to do to finish Outstanding Balance.

First, you need to search for Dodger's stash inside the Traffic Tunnel in the centre of Blue Gate. Head to the end of the northwest road in the underground tunnel, where you'll see Dodger's stash—a rack filled with boxes—under a blue tarpaulin in the right corner.

It's very dark so it's quite hard to see the stash, but the small campsite, truck, and blue tarpaulin are easily identifiable landmarks.

Search the cache and it'll explode, which I assume means it's boobytrapped. Now, Tian Wen sends you to where Dodger used to deal.

This second step is located up the mountain in Pilgrim's Peak, so the fastest route up is the zipline lift in the small tunnel near the centre of Traffic Tunnel.

Once you're at Pilgrim's Peak, go up the large red tower (referred to as an antenna in the quest) using the zipline, and jump into the room just below the top. There's a hole in the floor to drop down if you're already at the peak.

In this room, you'll find Dodger's bag between some red electrical boxes. Search the bag, and it will spawn the 'Dodger's Note' quest item, which you have to extract with to complete the quest. I recommend placing it in your safe pocket if you have one so you don't have to repeat the quest if you die.

Return to Tian Wen to turn in the Outstanding Balance quest, and she'll give you the Gothic Graffiti Aviator colour, an Extended Medium Mag II, and a Silencer II. Plus, you'll also unlock the Settled in Full follow-up quest, which asks you to kill a Bastion and deliver the Bastion Cell to Tian Wen.

Rory has made the fatal error of playing way too many live service games at once, and somehow still finding time for everything in between. Sure, he’s an expert at Destiny 2, Call of Duty, and more, but at what cost? He’s even sunk 1,000 hours into The Elder Scrolls Online over the years. At least he put all those hours spent grinding challenges to good use over the years as a freelancer and guides editor. In his spare time, he’s also an avid video creator, often breaking down the environmental design of his favourite games. If you can’t track him down, he’s probably lost in a cave with a bunch of dwarves shouting “rock and stone” to no end.
