The "A Better Use" quest in ARC Raiders is a mission that sounds super easy on paper but can get kinda tricky if you don't know where to look. Basically, you need to find a Supply Call Station, call in a drop, and loot it without getting taken out by other players or ARC machines. In this guide, we will show you exactly how to spot these stations and get the loot safely.

Here is the quick breakdown of the mission:
Quest Name: A Better Use
Objective: Request a Supply Drop and Loot it
Maps: Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, Buried City
Rewards: 1x Extended Light Mag I, 1x Stable Stock I, 1x Muzzle Brake II
Key Location: Swamp Area (Dam Battlegrounds)
The hardest part of this quest is actually finding the Call Station because they don't show up on your map until you are really close to them. You are looking for a tall antenna with a light on top. You can find them on any map, but a really easy spot to check is the Swamp area to the west of the Dam on the Dam Battlegrounds map. Just look for the tall structure sticking up in the air. Using binoculars helps a lot here.

Once you find the station, run up to the base and interact with it. This will shoot a flare into the sky to signal the drop. Be careful though, because that flare is loud and bright, so every enemy (and player) nearby will know exactly where you are.

After the flare goes up, you have to wait a bit for the supply drop to actually land. Keep your eyes open for raiders while you wait. When the pod lands, run over and loot it. Inside you usually find stuff like bandages, weapons, or ammo. As soon as you loot the items, the quest is marked as complete!

You don't strictly need to extract to finish the quest steps, but you definitely want to keep that sweet loot. Head to the nearest extraction point and get out of there to claim your rewards.
