Straight Record is one of the simpler quests in ARC Raiders, and completing it doesn’t take too long. Here’s how.
As an earlier quest in ARC Raiders, Straight Record is, at the risk of a pun, pretty straightforward. Go to a place, interact with a few objectives, and collect your reward. The objectives aren’t immediately obvious, though, so we’ll be covering how to find them and complete Straight Record today.

How to complete the Straight Record quest in ARC Raiders

To complete Straight Record,** you need to find an EMP trap on Dam Battleground, turn off three power sources, and then turn off the trap itself.** The entirety of the quest takes place in the northwestern portion of the Dam Battlegrounds, just east of the Power Generation Complex in the Victory Ridge region.
Victory Ridge is the entire area reaching from the Pale Apartments at the western edge of the Dam all the way to the West Broken Bridge in the north.

The EMP trap itself is nestled south of the interaction and between the West Broken Bridge and the Ruby Residence points of interest. You’ll also know it by the collection of ruined buildings around a central clearing.
After you’ve found the EMP Trap, interact with it to start the next set of objectives:** finding three power switches**.

The** first power switch you need to find is mostly due north of the EMP trap on a ridge** overlooking the clearing. If you approach from the south, you’ll see the switch (more of a box, really) glowing yellow up on top.
Head up to the switch and interact with it to power it down, progressing to the next step.
Where to find the second power switch

The second power switch is on the second level of the ruined red building east of the EMP Trap.

Use the breachable power box to climb up onto the upper platform, then carefully navigate over to the second power switch and turn it off. Proceed to the next step.
Where to find the third power switch

The third power switch is south of the EMP trap, and you can find it by** following the power cable** on the ground that leads away from the clearing.

Look for a small electrical pylon and the cable running south of it, then interact with the switch to turn it off.
Finally, return to the EMP trap and turn it off to complete the quest. You don’t need to survive the raid, so if you finish fast enough, you can go off and loot and fight. Even if you end up back in Speranza courtesy of another Raider, you can still go to Celeste and complete in Straight Record.
