The "Reduced To Rubble" quest in ARC Raiders is a recon mission given by Shani that sends you to The Blue Gate. Basically, something big tore through the area, and Shani wants you to follow the path of destruction to see what caused it. In this guide, we will show you where to find the Collapsed Highway and how to track down the unknown ARC machines without getting lost.

Here is the quick breakdown of the mission:
Quest Name: Reduced To Rubble
Quest Giver: Shani
Objective: Photograph the Highway, follow the trail, and investigate machines
Map: Blue Gate
Provided Gear: Binoculars
Rewards: Zipline, Barricade Kit, Door Blockers
First things first, talk to Shani to grab the quest. She will give you a pair of Binoculars if you don't have them, which you might need for scouting. Load into The Blue Gate map. This mission is all about observation, so you don't need a super heavy combat loadout, but bring enough ammo to defend yourself if you run into a squad.

Once you drop in, you need to find the Collapsed Highway. It is a massive broken road structure that is pretty hard to miss. When you see the huge chunks of concrete and asphalt, pull out your camera (or use the photo mode key) and snap a picture of it. Make sure the objective updates before you move on!

After you get the pic, you need to head towards the area called Broken Earth. This area looks exactly like it sounds—the ground is torn up like something massive dragged itself through here. You are looking for a trail of overturned earth and smashed trees.

This part is kinda like being a detective. Follow the path of destruction through the Broken Earth zone. Just keep following the trench/trail of wreckage. It will lead you deeper into the map, so keep your eyes peeled for enemy Raiders who might be looting the area.
At the end of the trail, you will find some unknown ARC machines. These are wrecked units that look different from the usual bots you fight. Walk up to them and interact with them to "Investigate." Once you do that, the quest is basically done. You just need to extract safely to secure your rewards.
