Navigating the intense battlegrounds of ARC Raiders requires smart preparation and tactical movement, especially during multi-step vendor quests. Assigned by Shani after completing her earlier assignment, the Lost in Transmission quest takes players into the high-risk Spaceport map. Successfully completing this mission tests your ability to protect valuable keys, navigate interior structures, and interact with objective terminals under pressure.
Prerequisites and Unlocking the Mission
Before you can accept Lost in Transmission, you must first complete Shani's prerequisite mission titled Our Presence Up There. Once unlocked at the hub, speaking with Shani grants you the quest along with one Spaceport Control Tower Key. Because this key is essential for opening locked access doors, storing it inside your Safe Pocket ensures it will not be lost if you are eliminated.
Core Mission Objectives at Spaceport
The mission requires players to complete three distinct steps within a single raid on the Spaceport map. First, you must travel to Control Tower A6 located near the central region of the area. After entering the structure and unlocking the interior access path with your key, you must ascend to the top control room using the internal zipline. Finally, locating and interacting with the terminal on the left side of the upper room completes the objective.
Navigating Control Tower A6 Safely
Control Tower A6 is a heavily contested landmark due to its high-tier loot and commanding vantage points. When approaching the building, scan the area carefully for rival Raiders camping the lower entrances or watching the zipline paths. If another player has already unlocked the door, you can proceed up the tower without spending your own key. Carrying tactical gear like smoke grenades provides crucial cover if an unexpected firefight breaks out near the terminal.
Mission Rewards and Next Steps
Establishing the connection immediately registers the quest as complete without requiring a successful extraction. Returning to Shani at the hub rewards you with the Snap Hook, an extremely useful traversal item for climbing elevated structures. Finishing this task unlocks the next chapter in her storyline, sending players on new assignments across different maps.
