Arc Raiders Turnabout Quest Guide

GAMING NEWS

Celeste’s latest assignment sends raiders deep into Spaceport’s northern trenches to upload a set of blackmail files—an operation that’s far riskier than it looks on paper.

The North Trench Tower is a high-traffic hotspot patrolled by raiders and hostile ARC units.

Accepting the Turnabout quest automatically grants you a **Spaceport Trench Tower Key**, a rare item that must remain in your inventory during the raid. Losing it means restarting the hunt entirely, and with keys having notoriously low drop rates, most players have the best luck searching residential zones. Keeping the key tucked in a secure pocket is strongly recommended—other raiders are always on the lookout to swipe quest-critical items.

Your objective is simple: reach the North Trench Tower, unlock the terminal room, and upload Celeste’s blackmail files. The execution, however, is where things get dangerous.

How to Reach the North Trench Tower and Upload the Files

The North Trench Tower sits at the furthest tip of the Spaceport map. The area is frequently contested, drawing in players completing the same quest—or looking to ambush unaware raiders carrying valuable loot. Bastions can wander below the structure, while Rocketeers may patrol overhead, creating a hazardous approach route.

Once inside the perimeter, climb the stairs on either side of the tower. **Ensure you’re at the North Trench Tower before using your key**—it can also unlock the South Trench Tower, which will waste the item and halt your progress entirely.

After unlocking the entrance, head up the staircase to the upper room. At the top, you’ll find a glowing yellow terminal. **Interact with it to upload Celeste’s blackmail files**, completing the Turnabout quest instantly.

Upload the blackmail files at this terminal.

With your mission complete, you’re free to extract—most raiders prefer the Central Elevator for a safer departure. Before leaving, however, loot everything inside the tower. The location is packed with valuable supplies, making it worth revisiting if you manage to secure another Spaceport Trench Tower Key in the future.
