If you’ve been banging your head against the wall trying to wrap up the Fragmented Logs side quest in ARC Raiders, you are definitely not alone. It’s one of those multi-step multi-location quests that can get pretty chaotic if you don’t know exactly where you’re going or what to bring.

The good news is that you don’t have to do all of this in a single raid, and you don’t even need to successfully extract to keep your quest progress. Once a step is done, it’s done.

Here is exactly how to get this quest off your tracker, from the prep work to the final terminal boot.

Essential Preparation

Before you queue into Stella Montis, save yourself some time and stress by setting up your loadout properly:

• Pack an Electrical Component: Put exactly one Electrical Component into your safe pocket before launching the raid. While you can sometimes loot one off destroyed droids or scavenge it by recycling junk like old phones or wasps mid-raid, bringing one in guarantees you can finish step one without relying on RNG.

• Gear up properly: Do not run this with a free starter kit. The final phase of this quest takes place deep in highly contested, Shredder-heavy territory. You will want high-tier guns and solid utility items if you plan on making it to the last terminal alive.

Step 1: Repair the Terminal in the Robotic Sandbox Control Room

Your first stop is the upper level overlooking either Robotic Sandbox A (North) or Robotic Sandbox B (South).

To get up to the control rooms, look for the zipline in the back hallway, or cross over via the elevated bridge near the security lobby. Once you're on the upper deck overlooking the sandbox floor, head to the back of the room. You'll spot an out-of-service computer console. Interact with it, use up the Electrical Component you brought in your safe pocket, and the terminal will be repaired.

Step 2: Enable Power in the Conduit Backroom

Once the upper terminal is repaired, you need to head downstairs to the ground floor of the Robotic Sandbox area.

Drop down from the control room to the bottom sandbox floor and look for the server conduit rooms along the walls. The easiest ones to find are labeled Control Room A3 or Control Room B2. Walk inside, look at the right-hand wall tucked right between the servers, and you'll find a heavy main power switch lever. Flip it to send power down the line.

Step 3: Boot the Mainframe Data Terminal in the Cultural Archives

This is the hardest part of the quest. You need to make your way all the way over to the far eastern side of the Stella Montis map to reach the Cultural Archives.

The service backrooms here are incredibly dangerous and heavily guarded by nasty ARC variants—expect Ticks, Pops, Fireballs, and Shredders. Do yourself a favor and completely clear out the room before touching anything; interacting with the objective locks your character in place, leaving you completely defenseless.

Once the room is safe, find the back server storage room. Open the door leading into the smaller attached office, walk up to the desk terminal, and boot up the mainframe.

Quest Rewards

The moment you hit that last desk console, the quest will instantly track as complete. You don't even have to make it out of the raid alive to get credit, though extracting with the rest of your loot is obviously ideal.

Head back to Speranza, turn it in, and enjoy your rewards:
