Basically, you need to head to the Dam Battlegrounds, find a broken generator, and get the power back on. Its not too hard, but you do need to bring some specific items with you or your gonna be stuck searching for loot. In this guide, we will show you where to go and what to bring so you can get this done fast.

Here is the quick breakdown of the mission:
Quest Name: Flickering Threat
Quest Giver: Celeste
Objective: Repair the Generator and enable the power
Map: Dam Battlegrounds
Required Items: 4x Wires
Rewards: Hoodie with Celeste Graffiti (Cosmetic), 5x Medium Gun Parts, 3x Advanced Mechanical Components
Previous Quest: Prescriptions of the Past
Before you even load into the map, you need to make sure you have 4x Wires in your inventory. You can buy these from Celeste using seeds, which is way easier than trying to find them during the raid. If you forget them, you can try to loot them on the map, but that takes forever and its risky. So just buy them beforehand.

Load into the Dam Battlegrounds map. You need to go all the way to the North side of the map, towards the Energy Complex. The entrance to the Generator Hall is to the left of the main big building. Look for a long set of blue stairs leading down. Go all the way to the bottom and open the door to get inside.

Once you are inside the big hall, you will see a bunch of massive machines. You are looking for the broken generator, which should be highlighted with some yellow wires. Walk up to it and interact to use your 4 Wire Bundles to fix it. Once you do that, the generator starts up and you can move to the next step.

Now you need to leave the main hall through the Western door (on the left side). This leads you into a tall building which is the Ventilation Shaft. Go down the stairs and look underneath them. There is a power switch or panel right under the stairs that is glowing. Flip that switch and the quest is done!

The cool thing about this quest is that you don't need to extract to finish it. As soon as you flip the switch, you get credit. You can try to leave to keep your loot, but if you die, you still get your rewards from Celeste back at the base.
Completing "Flickering Threat" will give you:
Hoodie with Celeste Graffiti (Cosmetic)
3x Advanced Mechanical Components
