The Hatch Repairs quest in ARC Raiders is an early game mission that you can pick up once you finish Celeste’s introductory expedition, A Bad Feeling. Your main goal is to fix the leaking hydraulic pipes located near a Raider Hatch. To make things easier, here’s a quick guide to help you complete it.
How to complete the Hatch Repairs quest in ARC Raiders
You need to repair the hydraulic pipes and fix the Hatch mechanisms at various locations to complete the Hatch Repairs quest in ARC Raiders. Start by dropping into the Dam Battleground map. Four hatches need fixing in this quest, which are present in the following locations:
- Good Old Baron’s Hatch north of Water Towers
- Pump House Hatch south of East Broken Bridge
- Spillway Hatch north of Red Lakes Balcony
- Sunroof Hatch east of Pale Apartments
When you reach one of these places, look for the hatch structure and check for yellow pipes that are attached to or placed beside it. Walk around until you spot a section of pipe that’s leaking or shows an interaction prompt. When it appears, press and hold the interact button to start the repair. It only takes a few seconds to complete.
After fixing the pipes, stay in the area for the next part of the quest. You’ll need to find and investigate an ARC Drone located nearby. Search around the hatch and look for a unique object that might be partially buried or positioned just off to the side.
Move close enough for the interaction option to appear, then investigate it to progress. If you don’t see the prompt right away, keep searching in wider circles around the hatch. The drone is always close and doesn’t require you to travel to a different location. To complete task for one location of The Hatch Repairs quest in ARC Raiders, loot that drone.
Once both tasks are done for all four locations, head back to Shani in Speranza to finish the quest. You’ll receive rewards, including a Raider Hatch Key and Binoculars. Completing Hatch Repairs also unlocks the next mission, Down to Earth, continuing your story in ARC Raiders.
