How to complete Paving the Way in ARC Raiders

Paving the Way is one of many new quests added to ARC Raiders as part of the Cold Snap update, and completing the tasks will require us to travel across two different maps.

To begin the quest, you’ll have to clear previous content that is part of the base game. To begin the quest, you’ll have to travel to an ENELICA building before proceeding with the rest of the tasks. This guide will help you complete all the tasks that are part of the quest.

ARC Raiders Paving the Way quest walkthrough

The Paving the Way quest can be broken down into the following parts.

• Go to any ENELICA building
• Search for a notice board with a note from the researcher
• On Buried City, reach the top floor above the Covinio in Piazza Roma
• Find the researcher’s flat and search for any research data

There are multiple ENELICA buildings present on the Dam Battlegrounds map, and the Power Generation Complex in the northern part of the map works.

Enter the building from the left using the stairs that lead to the top floor. I have marked the location on the screenshot above. Enter through the door, and turn left, where you’ll find the notice board.

Our next part of the quest will require us to travel to the Buried City map. Go to the apartment buildings located in the southern part of Piazza Roma. Climb to the top floor (or use a zipline). This is the same location that’s part of the Unexpected Initiative quest.

The last part of the quest is to find the researcher’s flat and look for any research data.

• Drop down to the lower rooftop, and you’ll find a scrap bridge. Use it to go back to the other building.
• Go straight through the next room until you find the computer consoles in the southermost part.

• Interact with the console, and this completes the final task and the Paving the Way quest in ARC Raiders.

There are more quests to complete in the Cold Snap update, and you can check out our guides to finish the following ones quickly.

• A Toxic Trail
• Stench of Corruption
• The Clean Dream

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.
