ARC Raiders Furtive Meetings Quest Guide & Walkthrough

You accepted a quest from a woman who sends you across an entire hostile map to take photographs like a tourist with a death wish. ARC Raiders Furtive Meetings is Shani's way of testing whether you can read a map without getting shot by a Shredder first. Spoiler: most people can't.

Before you even get the privilege of failing this quest, you need to finish Fragmented Logs. Both missions arrived with the ARC Raiders Flashpoint update, because apparently one map-spanning fetch quest wasn't punishing enough on its own.

Everything below happens in one raid. Die, extract early, or blink wrong, and you start over from zero. No checkpoints. No mercy.

Objectives Overview

Walkthrough

This is the part where a Furtive Meetings quest guide is supposed to hold your hand, so here it is, dragged kicking and screaming through every objective in order.

1. Medical Research. Head to the southwestern corner of this notoriously popular loot magnet, known to anyone who's glanced at the Stella Montis map more than once. Find the staircase, look underneath it for a white marking, and interact to snap your photo. Do not linger; other raiders love this POI as much as you're about to hate it.
2. Ventilation Shaft. Move toward the passage linking Robotic Sandbox B and Seed Vault. On the lower level you'll spot old frames leaning against a wall. Photograph them and keep moving, because standing still on Stella Montis is a personal choice to get killed.
3. Cultural Archives Hallway. The last meeting spot sits by the stairs leading up toward Cultural Archives. Snap the final photo, then check right beside it for a cardboard box hiding in the dark.
4. Secret Meeting Info. Search that box. This is the whole reason you're out here, so treat it accordingly and stash it somewhere it won't vanish the second you take a stray bullet.
5. Extract and deliver. Get out, ideally through a Raider Hatch if you have the key, and hand the item to Shani back in Speranza.

Don't Lose the Item

Drop the quest item in a Safe Pocket the moment you pick it up. This is not optional advice, it is the difference between finishing the quest and repeating this entire miserable circuit because a raider ambushed you thirty meters from extraction.

Rewards

Finish the full Furtive Meetings walkthrough without dying, and Shani hands over an Aphelion. The ARC Raiders Aphelion is a legendary battle rifle running on energy clips, and it's genuinely strong against ARC units, which is the only reason any of this suffering was worth it. Completing this also unlocks The Last Entry, so the punishment continues.

Fast Tips

• Run Fragmented Logs first if you haven't; it teaches you the same terrain.
• Avoid unnecessary fights around the Medical Research POI; it's a loot hotspot crawling with both players and machines.
• This whole thing is essentially a Shani quest chain, so expect more busywork after this one clears.
• Plan your route before dropping in. Backtracking on this map wastes time you don't have.
• Bring a cheap loadout. You're not here to fight, you're here to survive long enough to take pictures.
