Arc Raiders takes place on a hostile surface where you are pitted against other Arc enemies to recover valuable materials and escape through means of extraction. Call Stations are a resourceful beam of support, as you can use these to call for supply drops. 

These drops are useful, given the potential loot available. However, be cautious of lurking enemies who may have the same intentions. In this article, we will look at how to find and use the Call Station to call in for supply drops in Arc Raiders.

One of the earlier quests, ‘A better use,’ will task you with finding and using the Call Station for a drop. This quest will be given to you by Tian Wen in the Buried City. Not only will you get to loot the drop by the end of the quest, but you will also secure additional rewards.

Once you take up this quest, you will need to scour the lands of the Buried City, a district with ruined buildings swept by sand. You can expect challenges, such as shortsightedness due to sandstorms and a duller stream of light. You will not receive a waypoint of any sort and will have to look for the call station on your own. Once you are within close proximity, an icon will appear on your map. You can then use it to find the exact location.

Now, approach the Call Station and interact with it. This will trigger the request for the drop as well as the crate’s landing location. Stay hidden and well protected at all times and be wary of your surroundings. Triggering the Call Station will launch a flare into the sky. In the process, it will alert enemies and prompt them to make an attempt to loot the drop as well. After successfully raiding the drop, you will have completed the mission. You will also recive the following rewards for the completion.
