Players seeking to maximize their gains in Arc Raiders will find the “A Prime Specimen” mission within the Blue Gate map a challenging but rewarding endeavor. This objective requires players to navigate a hazardous environment, collect ARC Powercells, and delve into the remains of a massive ARC Deforester to secure valuable resources. Here’s a breakdown of the steps to successfully complete this task.
The mission doesn’t require a successful extraction to complete, making it a viable option for players concerned about losing valuable gear. Opting for a basic, free loadout is a sensible approach for those prioritizing a safe run. Before heading to the designated location, players must first defeat a small number of enemies to obtain the necessary ARC Powercells, then proceed to the marked ARC Deforester location on the map.

Collect 2 ARC Powercells
Table of Contents
The first step in the mission is to gather two ARC Powercells. These are commonly found items within the game, typically obtained by consistently defeating ARC robots. Players are advised to target basic enemy types like Wasps or Hornets, as eliminating just a few of these will usually yield the required amount.
Locate and Operate the ARC Deforester
The ARC Deforester is a large, wrecked structure scattered throughout the Blue Gate map. Currently, at least three fixed locations are known. When approaching these wrecks, look for an entrance with a control panel emitting electrical sparks – this indicates you’ve found the correct target.
Scavenging Process Explained
Scavenging the ARC Deforester requires precise timing. First, players must use one ARC Powercell on the energized panel, which activates internal defenses that periodically release bursts of flame. Players must time their movements to quickly pass through the flames and reach another panel on the interior, inserting the second ARC Powercell.
Once this is done, return to the entrance and locate a climbable platform above. A running jump will allow you to reach the platform. Be prepared to avoid additional flames at the top before reaching the scavenging point on the back wall. Completing the scavenge will mark the “A Prime Specimen” mission as complete. Players can then choose any extraction point to safely return to “Esperanza” and report the mission.
