Arc Raiders "A New Type of Plant" quest is a short but tense job that sends you into the Dam Battlegrounds to pick up a strange specimen Lance wants for his experiments. It comes after "Building a Library" and before "Armored Transports," so it sits right in the middle of his storyline as you help him gather unusual materials scattered across the wasteland. The task is simple on paper—find the plant in the Old Battleground area near a huge Baron Husk, grab it, and get out in the same run—but the danger comes from the map itself and the players sharing it with you ARC Raiders Coins.

Because you only get one chance per raid to finish, it's smart to prep properly. Most players bring solid anti-human weapons like ARs or SMGs, a good supply of ammo, and a couple of medkits. A safe pocket augment helps protect the quest item if you run into trouble. Starting from a western spawn cuts down on travel time and keeps you away from busy spots such as the Central Swamp Lift, where fights tend to break out and ARC groups like to cluster.

The path to the Old Battleground is straightforward: keep to the west and move toward the large mass of wreckage that marks the Baron Husk. It's hard to miss—an enormous rusted ARC corpse half sunk into the ground. The area around it is quieter than central routes, which makes it a decent place to slip in without getting dragged into firefights. Even so, people still recommend playing it cool if you bump into other scavengers, since most players just want their own clean run.

The plant you're after looks a bit like the one from earlier quests but has bright orange flowers that stand out once you know what you're looking for. It tends to spawn close to the metal legs and rubble around the husk, sometimes tucked so tightly against the debris that you might walk past it if you don't check carefully. Once you pick it up, the quest updates immediately, and your focus shifts to getting out alive.

The safest option after picking up the plant is to tuck it in a safe pocket and head toward the Central Swamp Lift. It's the main extraction point, but also the most contested, so cautious movement pays off. Sticking to cover, avoiding big ARC patrols, and not taking unnecessary fights greatly increases your chance of making it out. Fog and foliage can hide enemies and players alike, so slow, deliberate movement is usually more effective than sprinting for the exit.

Back in Speranza, handing the plant to Lance wraps up the quest and nets you a Vita Shot and five Antiseptics. The rewards aren't game-changing, but the quest keeps his storyline moving and hints that this strange plant might matter later. It's more about the small narrative thread and the survival challenge than a big equipment payoff ARC Raiders Boosting buy.

Once you learn the layout of the Baron Husk and the look of the plant, repeat runs become quick and efficient. "A New Type of Plant" shows how Arc Raiders mixes worldbuilding with extraction pressure, turning a simple fetch task into a careful navigation challenge that teaches safer routing and extraction habits for future, tougher missions.
