For the Arc Raiders Turnabout quest, Celeste has asked you to visit the North Trench Tower in Spaceport and upload some blackmail files. It sounds like risky business, but that’s par for the course in Arc Raiders. In this guide, we’ll fill you in on what you need to know about the Turnabout quest and how to complete it.
Note that when you accept this quest, Celeste will provide you with one Spaceport Trench Tower Key. This key must be in your inventory during the raid to complete this quest. Since you’ll be heading to a quest area that may be populated with other raiders, it’s probably best to toss your Spaceport Trench Tower Key in a safe pocket.
If you lose the Spaceport Trench Tower Key, you’ll be unable to complete the quest until you obtain another. As with nearly all keys in Arc Raiders, the drop rate is fairly low and random–though many players seem to have their best luck finding keys in residential areas. If you’ve lost your key, we’re wishing you luck on finding a new one soon, raider.
When you’re ready to complete Turnabout, follow the steps below.
Where to find the North Trench Tower and upload the blackmail files
The North Trench Tower is located at the very northern tip of the Spaceport map. It’s often populated by other raiders looking to complete the quest–or steal your loot–so be mindful when approaching this spot. It’s not uncommon for a Bastion to roam below the POI as well, or for Rocketeers to patrol the skies. In other words, it’s not the safest location and should be approached with caution.
As long as you have the Spaceport Trench Tower Key in your possession when you arrive, you can head up the stairs on either side of the building at the North Trench Tower and unlock the door.
Be certain you’re at the North Trench Tower before using the key, as the Spaceport Trench Tower Key can also open the South Trench Tower, which could waste your key!
Immediately after unlocking and entering the door, head up the stairs on your left or right (depending on whether you unlocked the left or right North Trench Door). In the room above, you’ll find a glowing yellow terminal you can interact with to upload the blackmail files to Celeste, which completes your quest.
With Turnabout complete, you can now extract whenever you’d like–perhaps most easily at the Central Elevator. While you’re at the North Trench Tower, however, you should definitely go ahead and loot everything you can find within. It’s a great spot for loot and worth returning to if you get another Spacesport Trench Tower Key in the future.
