Embark on the "Line in the Sand" quest, a recent addition to the Riven Tides update in Arc Raiders, which deepens the narrative around Stella Montis and the Exodus materials in Buried City. This mission requires you to locate four distinct points of interest within the expansive Buried City map.
To successfully navigate this quest, you will first visit the scene of a train derailment. Specifically, seek out the blue train carriages that lie partially submerged in sand, situated between the Warehouse and Piazza Roma, south of Marano Station. Your quest log will update automatically upon approaching these prominent landmarks. Following this, redirect your path eastward towards a compact, square-shaped tower. This structure is perched on a hill adjacent to the wall that runs perpendicular to both the Warehouse and Piazza Roma. Locate a hidden detonator near a bush in the southwest corner of the tower and interact with it to acquire the Marano Market Business Card, which is essential for progressing to the next stage.
The next two objectives lead you to the Market Ruins, located in the northeastern sector of the map. Proceed north past the Library and Hospital areas to reach this desolate market zone. Upon entering the ruined building there, your quest will once again update without requiring any direct interaction. Finally, ascend the hill to the east from the Market Ruins, passing between two structures, until you arrive at Dune's End. Inside a building at this location, navigate through a door and utilize a zipline to descend into the basement. Here, you will discover a collection of cardboard boxes; capturing a photograph of these will finalize the "Line in the Sand" quest.
Completing challenging missions in games like Arc Raiders not only tests your strategic thinking and exploration skills but also fosters a sense of achievement and perseverance.
