Arc Raiders isn’t just a looting and running simulator; there are a bunch of threats out in the world, both human and robot, that will try to thwart your progress. What’s more, you’ll be tasked with a plethora of missions for your fellow companions to keep you busy topside.

One particularly tricky mission is A Better Use, which requires you to locate a Call Station and request a Supply Drop. Now, while this may seem simple on the face of it, it is actually anything but.

Where to find Call Stations in Arc Raiders

First on the agenda is finding Arc Raiders Call Stations in order to get the required Supply Drop going.

Usually, you’ll just open up your map and ping the required destination, but when it comes to Call Stations, it’s a little more complex. This is because the map icon for these only shows up when you’re in close proximity to them.

The icon you’re looking for here looks like a small radio tower that’s emitting a frequency, and once you’re at the spot, the Call Station is almost like a long, thin antenna, making it pretty easy to miss.

As stated in the quest text, these can only be located on Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, The Blue Gate, and Spaceport, so ensure that you’re roaming these maps to get the job done.

How to request and find a Supply Drop in Arc Raiders

Once you have found a Call Station, look to the base of it where there should be an electrical box, allowing you to request a Supply Drop.

This will make your Raider set off a yellow flare into the air. Ensure you keep an eye on where the flare goes as the Supply Drop will fall in and around this location.

This will take around thirty seconds, and will be quite noticeable since the Drop floats down via balloon so be wary of others that might be communicating to also plunder your loot.

After it makes its way to ground, carefully loot it, and you should have the A Better Use quest wrapped up.
