In Arc Raiders, every quest offers a unique blend of exploration, resource management, and combat, and "After Rain Comes" is no exception. Given by Celeste-one of Speranza's key traders-this mid-game mission seems simple but requires careful preparation to avoid unnecessary frustration.

Unlike early-game fetch quests that guide you every step of the way, "After Rain Comes" tests your ability to gather materials and navigate hostile terrain independently. Whether you're a new player still learning the ropes or a seasoned raider looking to ARC Raiders BluePrints streamline your progress, this guide will walk you through every detail to complete the quest efficiently.

Quest Overview: What You Need to Know First

"After Rain Comes" is a mission tied to Celeste, who tasks you with repairing flooded solar panels in the Buried City-a region teeming with ARC threats like Pops, Fireballs, and other mechanical enemies. The core objective is straightforward: repair the damaged solar panels using specific materials.

The quest's catch? It doesn't explicitly tell you the required materials upfront. Show up empty-handed, and you'll either spend extra time scavenging mid-raid or have to abort and try again. This makes preparation the key to success.

Before deploying, note that the mission takes place in the Buried City map, specifically near the Grandioso Apartments. Familiarize yourself with the area's layout or keep your map handy to avoid getting lost.

Step 1: Gather the Required Materials

To repair the solar panels, you'll need two essential items: 5 Wires and 2 Batteries. These are uncommon but readily available if you know where to look. There are three reliable ways to get them, depending on your current resources.

Option 1: Use Your Stash

If you've been salvaging loot from previous raids, chances are you already have Wires and Batteries in your stash in Speranza. Before deploying, check your inventory and transfer the required materials to your active loadout. This is the fastest way to start the quest.

Option 2: Buy from Celeste

If you're short on materials, Celeste sells both Wires and Batteries in her shop in Speranza. They cost a small number of assorted seeds- a common currency you'll accumulate through quests and looting. She stocks up to 10 of each item per day, so you'll easily get enough for the quest.

Option 3: Scavenge in the Buried City

If you prefer to gather materials during the raid, head to areas with electrical or technological points of interest in the Buried City. Wires are often found in abandoned electrical facilities, wrecked vehicles, and near power grids. Look for orange-lit fuse boxes or broken control panels-looting or dismantling these usually yields Wires.

Batteries can be found in computers, server cabinets, and industrial containers, especially around the Grandioso Apartments and Santa Maria Houses. You can also recycle electrical junk: power cables break down into Wires, and industrial batteries recycle into Batteries.

Step 2: Locate the Flooded Solar Panels

Once you have the materials, deploy into the Buried City and head to the southwest corner of the map. Your target is the area east of the Grandioso Apartments-don't waste time entering the apartments themselves.

Look for a flooded pond in the open clearing east of the apartment complex. Near this pond, you'll see two sets of ground-level solar panels. The damaged panels you need to repair are the northernmost cluster, marked by a yellow junction box with an electricity symbol underneath.

Stay alert while traveling: the Buried City is full of ARC threats. Flying enemies like Snitches can spot you from afar, and ground-based enemies like Sentinels can ambush you if you're not careful. Stick to cover and clear small enemy groups before approaching the solar panels.

Step 3: Repair the Solar Panels

Once you reach the solar panels, approach the yellow junction box. If you have 5 Wires and 2 Batteries in your inventory, an "Interact" prompt will appear. Tap the interact button (usually "E" on PC) to start the repair process.

The repair is instant-no need to defend against enemies while it completes. However, it's wise to clear the area first, as ARC patrols often pass through the area and can interrupt you mid-interaction.

If the prompt doesn't appear, double-check your inventory: you likely missed one of the required materials. If that's the case, scavenge the nearby area or return to buy ARC Raiders Trinkets  Speranza to restock.

Step 4: Complete the Quest and Claim Rewards

Unlike many other raids in Arc Raiders, you don't need to extract safely to complete "After Rain Comes." Once you repair the solar panels, the quest will automatically update, and you can return to Speranza at your convenience.

Head back to Celeste in Speranza to turn in the quest. As a reward, you'll receive 5 Blue Light Sticks, 3 Antiseptic, and 5 Durable Cloth-useful items for crafting, healing, and surviving future raids.
