Objectives
All objectives carry over between raids. You do not need to complete everything in a single run.
Walkthrough Tips
Satellite and antenna objectives are usually on rooftops or elevated platforms. Plan your approach route with vertical navigation in mind. These exposed positions leave you vulnerable to aerial ARC patrols.
Search objectives have specific interaction zones you need to reach. Use your compass marker to navigate to the general area, then look for the highlighted interaction point. Some search areas may have multiple valid spots.
Photography objectives require using the camera item from your inventory. Point at the target from within range and snap the photo. Multiple angles may be needed if the first attempt doesn't register.
This quest grants you specific items upon acceptance. These are typically required for one or more objectives, so don't discard them.
With multiple objectives spread across the map, consider tackling them over two or more raids rather than rushing through everything at once. Prioritize objectives that are close together.
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
Light Weapon (Pistol or SMG)
Exploration quests have less direct combat but you still need something for self-defense. A lightweight weapon keeps your mobility high.
Camera (Required)
Photography objectives require the camera item from your inventory. Make sure it is equipped before deploying to the map.
Zipline
Ziplines speed up navigation between objectives spread across the map. Place them on high points to create shortcuts for return trips.
Step-by-Step Completion Guide
Follow these steps to complete all objectives for On The Map. Each step includes contextual advice based on the objective type.
Head to where the Fuel Lines snapped, and transmit your location
Open your inventory and equip the camera. Approach the target until the photo prompt appears, then snap the shot. If it does not register, try adjusting your angle or moving closer. The camera has a limited range.
Head to the antenna near the Fuel Control, and transmit your location
Head to the rooftop or elevated platform where the dish is located. Interact with it to rotate it into position. These locations tend to have open sightlines, meaning you are exposed to ranged ARC attacks.
Head to the cactus patch in the wall breach, and transmit your location
Navigate to the marked location on your map. This is a waypoint objective. Once you arrive at the correct area, it will complete automatically or reveal the next step.
Transmit your location from the roof of the Container Storage building
Follow the quest marker and interact with the highlighted element. Stay alert for ARC patrols in the area and clear them if they interfere with the objective.
Find the container covered in tarp, and mark it
Follow your quest marker to the search area. The item or location will have a highlighted interaction prompt. Check multiple floors and rooms if the building has interior areas.
Map: The Spaceport
A massive pre-collapse launch facility now serving as a heavily contested zone. Industrial complexes, control towers, and open tarmac create a mix of close-quarters and long-range engagement areas. ARC presence is dense, with multiple turret emplacements and aerial patrols.
Interior corridors offer shelter from aerial threats but watch ceilings for Ticks. The control towers are common quest objective locations but are also heavily defended. Bring ranged weapons for the open sections.
