'Sizing Things Up' quest walkthrough in Arc Raiders

Published Oct 8, 2026, 12:59 PM EDT This Emperor certainly has a lot of legs Image: Embark Studios via Polygon The "Sizing Things Up" quest in Arc Raiders was added with the 'Frozen Trail' update, and it has you gallivanting all over the new Pendola Pass map. You're tasked with heading to various legs of the downed Emperor so you can scout it out for Celeste, and since the legs are all spread throughout the middle of the map, there are a lot of hostile Arc enemies patrolling. Here's a complete walkthrough about how to complete the "Sizing Things Up" quest in Arc Raiders. 'Sizing Things Up' quest steps in Arc Raiders The "Sizing Things Up" quest has six steps in total. Here's the rundown: Take a photo of the Emperor's leg by the bridge outside Old Town. Break open the crashed probe by the Emperor's leg near Almatera Station, then inspect the circuitry in the probe. Analyze the exposed area on top of the Emperor's leg near Railroad Junction. Reach the base of the Emperor. Search the Buried Harvester Payload. Deliver the Arc Conductive Coupler to Celeste. You only need to complete two of the first three steps, and once you do, the incomplete task will no longer be accessible to you. When complete, the final three steps all must be done in one round. If you're opting to complete the first step, you also must have a basic or advanced camera on you to take the photo.

We stood near the center of the collapsed leg to the east of Old Town, and looked west toward the leg by the bridge. We've marked the exact location on the map above. You'll want to climb up a small pile of rubble, then zoom in slightly to the leg. Once you take the photo, it'll tick off the objective. If it doesn't complete, readjust the angle and try again. Where to find the crashed probe by the Emperor's leg near Almatera Station Graphic: Johnny Yu/Polygon | Source images: Embark Studios via Polygon The crashed probe is found beside the northernmost Emperor leg, which is way west of Almatera Station. Make your way to the edge of the map, where you'll find the probe half buried in the snow. Break it open (if it hasn't been opened already), and inspect it to complete this portion of the quest. Where to analyze the exposed area on top of the Emperor's leg near Railroad Junction Graphic: Ford James/Polygon | Source images: Embark Studios via Polygon The longest Emperor leg comes to a rest in the ground directly south of Railroad Junction. All you need to do is climb up the ankle, so-to speak, and interact with the prompt to analyze the part. Where to find the base of the Emperor and search the Buried Harvester Payload Graphic: Ford James/Polygon | Source images: Embark Studios via Polygon Now, you'll want to head all the way to the base of the Emperor, directly west of Piazza della Rupe. Above the "P" in the location name on the map, you'll find the payload you need to search, buried in the snow. Pick up the Arc Conductive Coupler, put it in your safe pocket if you have one, then get the heck outta dodge to deliver it to Celeste and complete the quest. You'll be rewarded with three adrenaline shots, 60 heavy ammo, an exodus technical handbook, and a Bettina I for your trouble.
