After checking the Eyes in the Sky quest off your list for Shani, Celeste will task you with venturing into the heart of the Buried City for the After Rain Comes mission. While the premise of repairing a flooded solar panel sounds straightforward, this mission breaks the traditional extraction mold. Unlike most PC games in the extraction genre where you focus on looting, this quest requires you to bring specific hardware components into the match to succeed.
As a storyteller in the digital space, I’ve found that these small, narrative-driven tasks are what make the world of Arc Raiders feel alive. Here is our comprehensive guide on how to gather your supplies and locate the repair site to help Celeste get the power back online.
Essential Supplies: Wires and Batteries
To interact with the broken solar panels in the Buried City, you cannot go in empty-handed. You must have five wires and two batteries in your inventory. Based on our extensive testing and exploration, here are the most efficient ways to source these items:
- Scavenging Tech Hubs: Search computers, server cabinets, and electrical clusters. In the Buried City, focus your efforts on the Space Travel and Research sectors, the Santa Maria Houses, and the Grandioso Apartments.
- Industrial Zones: If you are running the Dam Battlegrounds, check the Power Generation Complex and the Control Tower.
- The Recycling Method: You can obtain these components by recycling common loot such as Power Cables, Power Banks, Toasters, Heatsinks, and Portable TVs.
Pro Tech Tip: If you are worried about losing these items to a rival Raider, place them in your safepocket to ensure they stay with you even if the mission goes south.
Locating the Flooded Solar Panels
Once your inventory is prepped, head to the Buried City. You are looking for a specific yellow electrical box located beneath the massive solar arrays. These are situated in the street on the east side of the Grandioso Apartments, near the pond area in the southwest portion of the map.
Simply approach the electrical box and follow the prompt to use your wires and batteries. Once the repairs are complete, the quest objective will update automatically.
Mission Rewards
While the primary motivation for completing these quests is progression and world-building, Celeste does provide a small cache of supplies for your efforts. Here is the breakdown of what you will receive upon completion:
| Item Name | Quantity | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Blue Light Sticks | 5 | Utility |
| Durable Cloths | 5 | Crafting Material |
| Antiseptics | 3 | Medical |
| Zipline | 1 | Movement |
