If you’re tackling quests in *Arc Raiders*, chances are you’ve been directed to the infamous Research & Administration building within the Dam Battlegrounds. This high-traffic location is a known hotspot for player engagements, and the “A Balanced Harvest” quest is no exception, requiring you to infiltrate the area to secure essential research project files. Navigating this dangerous Point of Interest (POI) to grab the necessary data quickly can be challenging, but we’ve got a streamlined approach to help you minimize risk.
Before dropping into the Dam Battlegrounds, strategizing your loadout is essential, especially since the R&A building is a known PvP magnet.

Of course, if you thrive on the high-stakes firefights this PvP-centric POI is known for, feel free to gear up for combat; the choice is entirely yours whether to prioritize speed or combat capability.
