The "What Goes Around" quest in ARC Raiders is a fiery little mission given by Apollo. Basically, he wants you to give the ARC machines a taste of their own medicine. Your goal is to find a specific weapon called a Fireball Burner and use it to destroy an enemy. It sounds simple, but you first have to actually find the weapon, which involves fighting one of those annoying floating flamethrower bots. In this guide, we will show you how to get the burner and finish this quest without getting toasted.

Here is the quick breakdown of the mission:
Quest Name: What Goes Around
Quest Giver: Apollo
Objective: Destroy any ARC enemy using a Fireball Burner
Recommended Map: Dam Battlegrounds
Granted Items: 5x Red Light Stick
Rewards: Cans Backpack Attachment, 3x Blaze Grenade, 2x Noisemaker
Previous Quest: The Right Tool (Optional/Related)
First, go talk to Apollo and accept the quest. Since you might die trying to get the weapon, I honestly recommend just running a Free Loadout. You don't want to risk your best gear when you are just trying to farm a specific item drop. Load into Dam Battlegrounds because it’s the easiest place to find the enemies you need.

To use a Fireball Burner, you gotta loot one first. That means you need to find a Fireball ARC. These are the floating enemies that shoot fire at you (obviously). The best spot to look is the Water Treatment area on the Dam map. Once you spot one, get its attention. Wait for it to stop moving—that means it's about to shoot fire. Quickly roll backwards to dodge the flames, then shoot the glowing weak point in its center. Once it's dead, run up and loot the Fireball Burner from its wreckage.

Now that you have the weapon, you need to use it. You don't need to kill a boss or anything crazy; any ARC enemy counts. Head over to the Research & Administration area. Look for the small spider-bots called POPs or even a static Turret. Throw the Fireball Burner at them. As soon as they burn up and die, the objective is done.

Once the target is destroyed, you just need to get out. Head to the nearest extraction point and leave the map. Go back to Apollo to get your new backpack attachment and grenades.
