Navigating the dangerous surface in ARC Raiders requires players to complete various quests for merchants in Speranza to secure vital supplies and progression rewards. One such assignment given by Lance, titled A New Type of Plant, tasks raiders with tracking down a mysterious flora specimen in the swampy zones of Dam Battlegrounds. Completing this mission safely requires a clear plan, as you must gather the item and extract from the match alive to turn it in.
Where to Find the Baron Husk in Old Battleground
To begin your search for the specimen, deploy into the Dam Battlegrounds map and head toward the far western region known as the Old Battleground. In this area, you will easily spot the massive, rusting remains of a defeated ARC construct known as the Baron Husk.
This giant mechanical wreckage serves as the primary landmark for the quest, surrounded by shallow waters and scattered metal plating. While the location itself is usually quiet, it pays to stay cautious of patrolling machines or rival players searching for the same objective.
How to Locate and Harvest the Toxic Plant
Once you reach the Baron Husk, examine the ground immediately surrounding its giant metal legs and body. The target flora grows close to the husk's frame and features vibrant orange blooms that stand out against the landscape.
Approach the plant and interact with it to harvest the Possibly Toxic Plant item. Harvesting causes a puff of green spores to release, but this harmless gas will not inflict any damage on your raider.
Securing the Specimen and Extracting Safely
After harvesting, remember to pick up the dropped item so that it transfers into your inventory. Because losing the item forces you to repeat the mission, placing it inside an augment safe pocket is highly recommended.
With the plant secured, navigate carefully toward the nearest extraction point, such as the Central Swamp Lift. Maintain a low profile to avoid unnecessary combat with hostile ARC units or aggressive raiders camping near the extract.
Claiming Your Quest Rewards from Lance
Once back safely at the Speranza hub, open your quest log and hand the Possibly Toxic Plant over to Lance. Successfully delivering the item completes the quest and earns you valuable health-restoring items.
Your hard work yields a Vita Shot for quick mid-combat healing alongside five units of Antiseptic. These medical items are crucial resources for crafting higher-tier survival gear for future surface raids.
