Where is the West Gate Bus in ARC Raiders? | Full A Wrench in the Works Location Guide!

With Riven Tides update, many new quests have been added. For players who missed the initial buzz and are a bit behind, A Wrench in the Works quest might be a bit confusing.

However, this quest doesn't take us to the new Riven Tides map; instead, it returns to the familiar Spaceport map, with only two objectives:

• Search the buses near the western gate of Spaceport
• Locate the stash of sabotage supplies hidden at Water Towers

While it's one of the simpler quests in this update, it can still be quite confusing and time-consuming for many players. Because when you accept the quest and excitedly enter the raid, ready to show off your skills, you might suddenly find that the western gate isn't marked on the map, leaving you unsure of where to go.

Therefore, I'll provide a detailed guide. First, the good news is that both quests can be completed simultaneously in a single raid. This is because the locations required for both quests are close together, and there's no requirement for a successful evacuation to complete them. This is very player-friendly.

So, if your only goal is to complete the mission, it might be wiser to bring few, or even none, ARC Raiders items into the game to completely avoid losses. Of course, completing the mission incidentally during a raid is also a perfectly reasonable strategy.

Buses Near The Western Gate of Spaceport

If you know Arrival Building in the northwestern corner of Spaceport, keep your eyes peeled and look carefully; you can find the target bus. Search carefully along the highway near the west gate; there are several buses parked there. If you're unsure which one is your target, look for a red and blue container; nearby, there's a rock in the middle of the road—that's your target bus.

If you find the target bus yourself, or if you're lucky, you can pause near the front door or the driver's seat to find a small interactive item behind the driver's seat. Picking it up will unlock the next mission objective.

Be careful; you might encounter ambushes from other players. Therefore, if you can easily find the target bus, wasting time searching for other buses might require two or more raids to complete this mission.

Sabotage Supplies Hidden at Water Towers

If you completed the previous mission in a raid, you can directly depart from the bus and head west. It won't be long before you reach the westernmost point of Spaceport map and see Water Towers. If you unfortunately failed to evacuate after the bus mission, you might need to spend more time reaching the mission location.

Water Towers are in a very remote location; many players may not have been there before, which is not surprising.

Then, you need to enter the northernmost tower and find a way to climb until you reach the circular platform at the top. This isn't difficult, so don't worry. There are many items inside the tower that you can climb. If climbing becomes difficult, you can find some ARC Raiders items to help you. Using the equipment in the game properly will always make your game easier.

Then, find the interactive Sabotage. Stop briefly, interact with it, follow the prompts, and wait for the dialogue to complete. Send its location to Celeste to complete the quest. Since there's no evacuation requirement, you can still choose to continue scavenging or engage in intense combat afterward.

Furthermore, if you want to end this raid, the location isn't far from an extraction lift.

Some Notes

Try to complete this quest if possible, spawning on the western side of the map. This will save you a lot of time and unnecessary travel and combat. If you're unfortunately far away, you'll need to undertake a very long trek; in this case, playing normally might be a better option.

Also, be wary of ARC enemies in Water Towers area. They will cause significant trouble during your climb, potentially causing you to fall to the ground or ending your raid, interrupting your quest and causing unnecessary losses. You can choose to clear the surrounding ARC enemies before climbing the towers.

While this mission doesn't require a successful evacuation or carrying any items, being slowed down by combat is inevitable, whether with other players or under attack from ARC enemies. Therefore, teaming up with friends will likely increase your chances of success.

Completing the mission in two parts will save your progress, allowing you to rejoin Spaceport map at any time.

Mission Rewards

Upon completing this mission and leaving the raid, you'll receive rewards from Celeste, including the highly sought-after Yellow (Radio Renegade color variant) appearance, as well as item rewards including five Mechanical Components and three Mod Components.

Overall, A Wrench in the Works is one of the simpler missions in Riven Tides update. With no evacuation or combat requirements, players can easily complete the mission and unlock subsequent content.
