Fragmented Logs quest is a high-risk,high-reward, and mandatory key quest in Arc Raiders. It's part of Flashpoint update, and Shani will immediately give you this quest after you complete Dust on the Wires quest.

Completing the quest will reward you handsomely: two core items that are extremely useful in the game.

However, the quest itself is very dangerous. The quest location is in Stella Montis, where Shredders patrol everywhere, especially the three quest locations you need to reach.

Fortunately, this quest is permanently saved, so you don't have to worry about starting over after a failure. Therefore, you can complete the quest in stages. Here, I will break down the quest into several parts to explain the main content and some survival strategies so you can complete it faster and safer.

Quest Content

After completing Dust on the Wires quest, you can accept the quest by talking to Shani, the merchant in Speranza. This task is simple: you just need to travel to three locations scattered throughout Stella Montis to repair the terminal, power up the old machines in each location, and restore historical data.

The task consists of three main parts: repairing the faulty terminal, powering on the equipment, and powering on the main data terminal. You can choose to save the previous task and complete it in batches.

Repairing Faulty Terminal

This task requires you to go to Robotic Sandbox in the central area of ​​Stella Montis to find and repair the faulty terminal. Many people search every room after entering the map, but this terminal is in the control room of Robotic Sandbox.

Robotic Sandbox has two control rooms, one on the north side and one on the south side, located between areas A and B. Find the terminal to be repaired in the control room; it might be next to a heptagonal desk or against a wall.

Once you find the terminal, repair it by replacing the faulty part with a new Electrical Component. It's worth noting that you should prepare this Electrical Component in advance, as it is difficult to find in Robotic Sandbox, takes a long time, and is dangerous because of the many patrolling Shredders outside. So, you can prepare in advance before completing this mission. There are two ways to obtain Electrical Components: one is by crafting them at the Refiner in Speranza, and the other is by salvaging specific equipment in the game or scavenging in electrical areas.

Powering On

After repairing the terminal, head to the east side of Area A in Robotic Sandbox. There might be signs above the entrance such as Control Room.

Look for small rooms with doors in the walls. Enter any of Conduit Backrooms, and you'll see a main power switch with yellow tape on the casing of a terminal block. It's usually located between large server terminals; interact with it and pull the switch.

Powering Onboard Data Terminal

This is the final step of the mission, the longest and most dangerous part. You might encounter patrolling Shredders along the way, so it's best to bring combat-ready weapons and Arc Raiders Items before starting this mission.

This mission requires you to go to Cultural Archives on the far east side of Stella Montis map.

Upon entering Cultural Archives, head to the easternmost protruding room. This room may be a server room. Go through another door to the smallest room inside, find the terminal within the final server, and interact with it to activate it and complete the mission.

Completion Rewards

After completing all three missions, return to Speranza and deliver the rewards to Shani. You will receive three Showstoppers and three Trailblazers. Both are rare items.

Showstopper

Showstopper is an electromagnetic stun grenade, primarily used for tactical control. Upon explosion, it stuns enemies in the area. Its Blueprint drops randomly across the map, with a higher probability of finding it in high-value containers and special loot boxes in Military Zones, Ammunition Depots, Industrial Zones, etc.

Crafting it requires Explosives Workshop Level 3 and costs one Advanced Electrical Component and one Voltage Converter. Alternatively, you can obtain it directly from a merchant for 1,600 Arc Raiders Coins.

Trailblazer

Trailblazer is a chain-reaction explosive grenade used for area control. Upon detonation, it creates a trail of flammable gas that delays a chain reaction explosion. After the official Flashpoint update, Trailblazer has transitioned from a damage core to a tactical tool for area control, clearing mobs, or coordinating with teammates.

Blueprint for crafting Trailblazer can be found in Electrical Boxes within Seed Vault in Stella Montis. Once found, it requires a Level 3 Explosives Workshop and one Synthetic Fuel and one Explosive Compound to craft.

Survival Strategies

Ensure the room is safe before interacting with terminals or machines. Stella Montis is filled with ARCs and Shredders; interacting with terminals will lock your character in place, and ARCs in the room will ambush you.

Electrical Component used for missions is a consumable. If you have a higher-level security pocket, such as Augment, equip it and put Electrical Component inside. This way, even if you die before completing the mission, you won't lose Electrical Component. Keep an eye on the minimap. The mission is indoors, with very limited visibility. While you're focused on your objective, other players and ARCs might appear behind you, posing a threat to your safety.

In short, this mission isn't too difficult. As long as you carefully read this guide before setting off, you'll have a clear understanding of the mission details and things to watch out for, allowing you to complete it efficiently and safely in the shortest amount of time.
