In ARC Raiders, the "Trash Into Treasure" quest is basically what it sounds like. You have to go out, scavenge some specific junk materials that Shani needs, and bring them back safely. In this guide, we will walk you through how to get this done fast so you can get your rewards.

Before you jump into the drop pod, here is the quick rundown of the mission:
Quest Name: Trash Into Treasure
Quest Giver: Shani
Objective: Collect Wires (6) and Collect a Battery (1)
Recommended Location: Dam Battlegrounds
Best Loot Zones: Tech and Electrical areas
Rewards: Tactical MK.1, 3x Adrenaline Shot
Next Quest: Off The Radar
Previous Quest: Clearer Skies
First things first, talk to Shani to grab the quest. Before you head out to the map, you should think about your loadout. I totally recommend using the free starter gear for this one. Since you are just running around looking for loot, there is a risk you might get taken out by other players, and you don't want to lose your best weapons on a simple fetch quest.

Once you accept the mission, launch into the Dam Battlegrounds map. When you land, open up your map immediately. You want to look for zones marked with Tech or Electrical loot icons.
A really good spot to check is the Power Generation Complex. It usually has a ton of industrial loot, so you can find wires and batteries way faster there than just checking random houses.
Now that you are in the right area, start opening every container you see. You are looking for exactly 6 Wires and 1 Battery. These items are pretty common in supply crates, lockers, and toolboxes.
Pro Tip: If you are having bad luck and can't find the basic items, look for higher-tier loot like a Portable Power Bank. You can actually recycle these bigger items to break them down into the wires or batteries you need. Just keep looting until your inventory shows you have everything.

This is the stressful part. Once you have all 6 wires and the battery in your backpack, head straight to the nearest extraction point. Keep your eyes open because other Raiders might be camping the exit or trying to leave at the same time.
You have to extract successfully to keep the items. If you die, you lose the loot and have to start over, which is super annoying.

After you make it back to Speranza safely, go to your quest tab and turn in the items to Shani. She will take the materials off your hands and give you your payment.
Completing "Trash Into Treasure" will give you:
Once this is done, you will unlock the next mission in the chain, "Off The Radar".
