There's an astonishing number of quests in Arc Raiders. Seriously, complete a handful and more just keep coming, giving you the most obscure and tricky challenges you can imagine. While missions oddly don't give you any XP, they're a great way to learn the game and get heartily rewarded for your efforts with various gear and even customisation options.
The thing is, you don't just need to do these quests once and be done with them forever. If you're sending your character on an Expedition (Arc Raiders' version of a wipe or account reset), your quest progress will also be reset alongside your gear and upgrades. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news if you didn't know this already.
All Arc Raiders quests
There are currently 66 quests in Arc Raiders, 60 of which are interconnected missions from the main vendors, while the remaining six are related to the Blue Gate and Stella Montis maps. Some require you to visit specific locations, while others task you with looting specific items or killing certain Arc machines.
If you're ever in doubt whether an item you need is required for a quest or one of the many upgrades, check out our Arc Raiders loot guide.
