How to complete Deciphering the Data in ARC Raiders

The Cold Snap update has several new quests in ARC Raiders, and the Deciphering the Data mission will require you to visit two different locations.

Thankfully, this quest is relatively simple, and you can complete all the tasks in the Spaceport map. This guide lists all the steps for you to complete the quest and its tasks.

ARC Raiders Deciphering the Data quest walkthrough

The Deciphering the Data quest can be broken down into the following parts.

Use the Magnetic Decryptor in the Fuel Control building

Reach the Arrival Building in Spaceport

Use the Magnetic Decryptor on the top floor of the Arrival Building

The first task requires us to head to the Fuel Control building on Spaceport. Located in the northern part of the map, I have marked its location so that you can find it easily. Approach the building from the west.

Head inside, travel straight, and you’ll come across a green machine. Interact with the machine when prompted, and you’ll complete the first task. The machine isn’t hard to find, and completing this part of the quest is relatively easy.

Then, head to the Arrival building on the eastern part of the map. Approach the building from the eastern side and take the stairs till you reach the second floor.

Enter the building, and keep heading northwest on the second floor. You’ll eventually come across a bunch of electrical devices. Get close to the devices, and you’ll have a quest marker appear on one of them. Interact with the highlighted device to decrypt the data. This will complete the final task and the Decrypting the Data quest.

There are plenty of other quests to complete in the Cold Snap update, and we have dedicated guides for all.

You better watch out, you better not die (in Call of Duty), you better not pout, I’m telling you why: Black Ops 7’s Naughty and Nice event is here.

The latest seasonal holiday event for BO7 is bringing the gifts, or maybe the lumps of coal, depending on how bad you’ve been in CoD this year. But the Naughty & Nice event in BO7 is mostly nice, as it brings along a new free weapon and animated camo for gamers to unlock along the way.

Here’s the full list of challenges and rewards you can get by playing Naughty & Nice.

Black Ops 7 Naughty & Nice event

There are 10 total challenges to complete in Naughty and Nice, and the two main rewards are the Sokol 545 LMG and Snowfall animated camo. Five challenges are Naughty (sacks of coal) while five are Nice (holiday gifts), and completing the associated challenge allows you to open up whatever is inside (a mystery, for now).

Naughty challenges are for the naughtiest CoD players who only chase down kills and don’t care about wins or objectives, while Nice challenges are for those of you who play for the team and not just the individual accolades. But hey, both are needed and necessary!

All 10 challenges can be completed in either BO7 multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, or Warzone. Just finishing one of the tasks listed below will unlock the reward for it, including everything from emblems, weapon charms, and a blueprint like the Sweet Tooth Peacekeeper Mk1 blueprint and more.

Several of the challenges have to do with playing limited time modes like Snowfight in multiplayer or Holiday Rush in Warzone, so make sure to be in the holiday spirit before logging on.
