I never realized how good this ARC Raider skill is, but from now on I’m not leaving Speranza without it

Over the past few months, I’ve crafted my fair share of builds in ARC Raiders—from loot-oriented quick and nimble loadouts to fully stacked, armored, and heavily armed PVP ones. But where I have faltered are the skills, specifically by not investing heavily in the Traveling Tinkerer perk.

Field crafting seemed quite interesting to me from the first time I saw it, and I even ended up including it in my initial skill tree guide back when the game first released. What I failed to take into account was how useful the second field crafting perk was, i.e., how invaluable Traveling Tinkerer is. It’s located a bit further into the Survival skill tree and builds on top of the field crafting perk that enables making items on the go.

One particular item that gives you the ability to craft mid-match is Raider Hatch Keys, which are perhaps the most valuable pieces of loot in the entire game. Extracting from a regular elevator is fine and dandy until you find yourself carrying 100,000 credits of loot, pink items, blueprints, weapons, and other rare items that turn extraction into a nightmare.

Raider Hatch Keys? They solve that issue instantly, allowing you to extract without waiting for a long time, hoping no ARC or player shows up to put an end to your escape attempt.

Given how many hatches are located on each of the maps, Keys would almost guarantee your success topside. The only downside here is that you’d have to carry the necessary materials on your person, which could be challenging to come by. However, that is more than made up for by the sheer ability to make these Keys (among all the other valuable items that field crafting unlocks, like consumables for healing and shield recharging).

Suffice it to say that I’m never leaving Speranza without this thing, and since Embark introduced proper skill resets (that do not require Expeditions), it’s quite easy to take away points from useless trees I’d been investing into thus far.

And I’d suggest you do the same.

The septic pumping job is something you can undertake in My Winter Car if you’re short of cash, and it will allow you to drive an extra vehicle that’s otherwise not possible.

The job of pumping the septic tank can be unlocked after a phone call that will ask you for a favor. This appears to be the only job from which you can’t get fired (so no performance pressure at all). This guide will elaborate on all the steps to complete if you want to excel at cleaning someone else’s bathroom.

How to start the septic pumping job in My Winter Car

To begin the job, you’ll have to wait for a phone call that will inform you that their sewage well is full. Answer the call and wait for the NPC to disconnect it from their end. Don’t disconnect it prematurely; otherwise, the quest won’t begin. Once the dialogue completes and you accept the job, a new location marker will pop up, indicating where you have to be.

Your main task is to drive the Gifu to this location. The Gifu is a special tanker that will allow you to clear the sewage.

Once you’ve reached the marked location with the Gifu, you’ll find a septic tank (grey-colored and has a square lid). Remove the lid carefully after parking the Gifu close to the septic tank. Remove the hose from the back of the tanker and place it inside the septic tank.

Go to the cabin of the Gifu and turn on the hydraulics. You’ll also find a hand throttle. If your character starts coughing at the stench, it means that you’ve started the work successfully. Once the job is over, you’ll be informed by the homeowner, who will congratulate you.

Take the money, remove the hose from the septic tank, and place the hose end at the back of the Gifu. If it accidentally falls inside the tank, save and reload to reset its position. If the Gifu’s tank is full, you can unload the waste at the Waste Treatment Facility.
