The Building a Library quest in Arc Raiders offers players an engaging scavenging task handed out by Apollo, who aims to expand Speranza's reading collection. To complete this mission, raiders must venture into the dangerous Buried City and extract three key items in a single run. Understanding the layout of the area and navigating the threats surrounding the location is essential for a successful raid.
Understanding the Quest Objectives
Before launching into the raid, players must know the exact requirements for completing Apollo's assignment. The primary goal involves traveling to the City Center and searching the local library for specific literature genres. You will need to retrieve three books covering romance, detective, and adventure topics before heading back to safety.
Because the quest requires all items to be extracted during the same round, inventory management is critical. If you fail to survive the extraction, any gathered quest items will be lost, requiring you to start over. Planning your entry and exit route ahead of time minimizes unnecessary risks.
Locating the Library in Buried City
The library is situated near the center of the Buried City map, right next to Marano Park. Navigating this sector requires extreme caution, as hostile ARC units often patrol the surrounding grounds. Bastions, Bombardiers, and airborne threats frequently linger near the main entrances.
Using low-profile movement or running a budget loadout helps reduce potential gear loss while learning the area. Once you approach the building, clear the immediate vicinity of enemies to secure a safe entry. The interior features multiple floors where the required interactable bookshelves are stationed.
Finding the Three Books
Inside the library, search for distinct glowing display stands containing yellow book covers. The first target location is on the ground floor near the windows facing the park area. Inspecting the small shelf produces the first quest item, which you must immediately pick up into your inventory.
Next, ascend the main stairwell to reach the upper balcony level. Along the walkway, you will spot two additional interactable display racks positioned near broken shelves. Collecting the final two items fulfills the collection phase of the objective.
Extracting and Claiming Rewards
With all three books secured in your inventory, move directly toward the nearest active extraction point. The nearby subway station entrance offers a quick escape if it remains open during your match. Avoid engaging unnecessary hostiles on your way to ensure safe passage.
After returning safely to Speranza, speak with Apollo to hand over the gathered materials. Completing the quest rewards players with valuable crafting items, explosive weaponry, and character experience points. Completing this assignment also helps unlock further trader quests down the line.
