MMOEXP: Arc Raiders seeking out a variety of items topside

Ludwighench

You spend a lot of time in ARC Raiders Items seeking out a variety of items topside to help Speranza thrive down below. One quest called Root of the Matter tasks you with visiting the Research Building to find a seed vault. If you've arrived in the building and want to know where to find the seed vault, we'll cover the bases for you in this guide.

Note that you won't need to extract to complete this quest. Because of this and given how dangerous the Research Building and surrounding areas can be to explore we'd recommend bringing a free loadout unless you're feeling particularly confident in your survival skills.

Your first objective in Root of the Matter is to head to the Research Building. This building is located to the right of Marano Park and is a very popular and chaotic area to explore. It's often overflowing with other raiders eager to pick fights, as well as a variety of ARC both inside and outside. Be especially aware of approaching from the Marano Park side, as there are often large ARC patrolling within the square.

When you arrive at the Research Building, search for the "room with a great view," which is on the west side of the building with a massive window overlooking the park. In here, you can find the seed vault, which is a cylindrical container against the wall. Interact with it to secure the seeds.

Now that the quest is complete, you can continue looting or fighting to your heart's content. You don't need to extract for the quest to count, but if you decide you want to get out alive (as you should), the Northern Station is nearby to the northwest of the Research Building, offering a place for a clean getaway. Just be careful heading down the steps, as the train stations in Buried City often house Pod buy ARCR Coins that will explode when you get near them.
