This quest is part of a chain. Completing the previous quest(s) in the series is required before this one becomes available from the trader.
Recommended Loadout

Grenades (Shrapnel or Snap Blast)
Grenades help clear clustered ARC groups quickly, reducing the time you spend exposed during combat phases.
Zipline
Ziplines speed up navigation between objectives spread across the map. Place them on high points to create shortcuts for return trips.
