The Mixed Signals quest in ARC Raiders is presented by Shani, who asks you to destroy an ARC Surveyor and find a specific part from it. Unlike the Hornet, Wasp, or Fireball, ARC Surveyors are rare and can appear on any map. You’ll need to roam around to spot one. These ball-like machines move quickly, making them quite frustrating to track down. On top of that, they possess an armor plate that makes them difficult to destroy.This article explains how to complete the Mixed Signals quest in Arc Raiders.Mixed Signals quest walkthrough in Arc RaidersAfter completing Dormant Barons in Arc Raiders, you can access the Mixed Signal quest from Shani.
