Arc Raiders: Walking the Grid Quest Guide (Spaceport POIs and Exact Terminal Locations)
Learn the fastest route to finish Walking the Grid on Spaceport, including which buildings to enter, where each terminal is, and how to complete the final wire-cut step safely.
Overview
Walking the Grid (Arc Raiders) — What This Quest Has You Do
Walking the Grid is a Spaceport quest that sends you to three objective points in a clear sequence: activate security sensors from a guard tower terminal, interact with a computer terminal inside the Departure building, then breach into the Arrival building’s data office to cut wires and finish the mission.
This guide breaks down each step with precise building corners, entry floors, and navigation cues so you can complete it quickly—even if you’re learning Spaceport’s layout or trying to minimize time exposed in open lanes.
Step 1: Activate the Security Sensors From Any Guard Tower
Your first objective is flexible: you can use any guard tower around Spaceport’s perimeter. These towers are easy to recognize along the wall line, and many sit near sections where the perimeter wall is broken or where security breaches commonly appear.
What to look for
- Guard towers along the perimeter (multiple valid options)
- A terminal/computer inside the tower for the interaction
- Areas that often have security breach activity nearby—expect traffic
Fast routing tip
If you spawn or path near the Departure area, consider using the guard tower closest to it so your next step is a short rotation rather than a long cross-map run.
Complete the objective
Enter the tower, interact with the terminal to activate the security sensors, and confirm the quest updates before leaving. Once it does, immediately move to the Departure building for step two.
Step 2: Departure Building Terminal (Southwest Corner, First Floor Route)
After activating the sensors, head to the Departure building. Your target is a computer terminal located in the southwest corner of the building, and you’ll reach it by entering on the first floor and following a short interior path.
Exact navigation path inside Departure
- Go to the southwest corner of the Departure building.
- Enter on the first floor.
- Follow the interior corridor all the way to the end.
- Make a left.
- Then make another left.
- Interact with the computer terminal in that room to complete this step.
Safety and efficiency notes
- Confirm the prompt completes before repositioning—don’t assume it counted.
- Interior turns can create short-range surprise fights; pause before each left turn and listen for movement.
- If you’re under pressure, prioritize finishing the interaction over looting—this step is the fastest to “in-and-out” if you commit.
Step 3: Arrival Building Data Office (Northwest Corner, Breach Door, Cut Wires)
The final objective is in the Arrival building, specifically the data office on the first floor in the northwest corner. The entry is a breachable door. You do not need a key—just breach it and go in.
How to reach the data office
- Go to the Arrival building.
- Navigate to the northwest corner of the building.
- Stay on the first floor.
- Find the breachable door to the data office and breach it.
Completing the final interaction (wire cutting)
Inside the data office you’ll see multiple computer monitors. Approach the monitor bank until you get the prompt to cut the wires. Interact with that prompt to complete Walking the Grid.
Practical tips to avoid getting interrupted
- Breach actions and interactions can draw attention; be ready to reposition immediately after the wire cut completes.
- Clear your immediate angles before starting the interaction—especially the doorway line and any adjacent interior openings.
- If you’re playing cautiously, wait a moment after breaching to listen for footsteps before committing to the prompt.
Quick Checklist: Walking the Grid in 60 Seconds
- Use any Spaceport guard tower and activate the security sensor terminal.
- Go to Departure (southwest corner), enter first floor, corridor to end, left, left, interact with terminal.
- Go to Arrival (northwest corner), enter first floor data office via breachable door, interact to cut wires.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to use a specific guard tower for the first step?
No. Any guard tower around Spaceport works as long as it has the terminal interaction to activate the security sensors.
Where exactly is the Departure terminal for step two?
It’s in the southwest corner of the Departure building. Enter on the first floor, go to the end of the path, then turn left and left again to reach the terminal room.
Do I need a key for the Arrival data office?
No. The data office door is breachable and does not require a key—breach it and head inside.
What am I looking for inside the data office?
A bank of computer monitors. Walk up until you see the prompt to cut the wires, then interact to finish the quest.
