How to complete Line in the Sand in ARC Raiders

Line in the Sand is a new quest in ARC Raiders, introduced with the Riven Tides update. Interestingly, this quest doesn’t take place on the new map. Instead, you’ll need to head to Buried City to finish multiple tasks.

Let’s find out how you can complete the Line in the Sand quest.

ARC Raiders Line in the Sand quest walkthrough

The Line in the Sand quest can be broken down into the following parts.

• Find out why the train never reached Marano Station
• Find out who orchestrated the robbery
• Marano Market Business Card
• Find out where the thruster valves were stashed
• Search the basement of the merchant’s nearby apartment

Find out why the train never reached Marano Station

The first location will take you to the broken-down train in the western part of the map. When you approach the train, a prompt will appear to help you find out more about what happened.

Find out who orchestrated the robbery

Head slightly east from the abandoned railcar, and you’ll come across a small tower. Climb up the metal walls to find a terminal on the floor to interact with and search for clues. Once complete, you can proceed with the next task.

Marano Market Business Card

When you complete step two, you’ll get the Marano Market business card. Make sure to move it to a safe pocket immediately when you find it. You’ll need to bring the item back safely.

Find out where the thruster valves were stashed

To find the thruster valves, reach the location marked on the image above. When you reach the spot near Market Ruins, you won’t find the valves, but the quest will update.

Search the basement of the merchant’s nearby apartment

For the last part, you’ll have to head to the northern part of the map. Head inside the building marked on the image above, and you’ll find a zipline going down. Use the rope, get down to the basement, and you’ll find a set of boxes.

There will be a prompt to search the basement. Complete the task to finish Line in the Sand in ARC Raiders.

The Crash Mat is a unique consumable that has been added to ARC Raiders as part of the Riven Tides update, and having the blueprint will allow you to craft the item. At its core, the Crash Mat nullifies a massive amount of fall damage if you manage to land on it by any means.

But first, let’s find out a few potential locations for the blueprint.

ARC Raiders Crash Mat blueprint location

Like every other blueprint, there’s no fixed location to find the Crash Mat. It will boil down to your luck. The item’s blueprint can spawn on any map condition. I have stuck to the Riven Tides map since the update, and it’s where I also found the blueprint.

I found mine in a random container at the beach near Hotel Panorama Azzurro. It was an ordinary container, and I had spawned in the map quite early. If you’re unlucky, you can try looking into the rooms of the hotel itself. It’s a great spot to find trinkets, which also includes the miniature ships.

You can also use the Dockmaster’s Detector during the Beachcombing minor map condition to find containers that would otherwise remain hidden. These containers can also contain the blueprint. However, the Beachcombing condition isn’t mandatory to find the blueprint; it just theoretically raises the odds of your success.

How to craft the Crash Mat in ARC Raiders

Once you have the blueprint, you can start crafting the Crash Mat with the following resources.

• One Electrical Components: You can craft it with raw materials or find it as random loot.
• One Durable Cloth: You can craft it from the basic cloth.

To craft the Crash Mat, you’ll also need a Tier 2 Utility Workbench. To use the item, you have to aim it at the ground. Once thrown, it will create an airbag on the ground. When you fall on the item, it will absorb all the fall damage. When used strategically, it will allow you to get out of tight situations.
