'Taking Stock' quest walkthrough in Arc Raiders

The final task, which asks you to deliver three industrial batteries to the Nomadic Envoy, is the part that is tripping most people up, because industrial batteries are one of those frustratingly elusive items as soon as you need them in Arc Raiders. So whether you're stuck trying to find industrial batteries for the final step of "Taking Stock" or you want to know exactly where to find the photo locations for the earlier steps in the quest, here's what you need to know. 'Taking Stock' quest steps in Arc Raiders There are five steps for "Taking Stock," but you only need to complete four of them: On Stella Montis, take a photo of the sculpture in the Atrium. On Spaceport, take a photo of a Baron Husk. Complete either: On Dam Battlegrounds, ping a Bombardier. On Buried City, ping a Bastion. Deliver three industrial batteries to the Nomadic Envoy. Where to find the sculpture in the Atrium on Stella Montis Graphic: Ford James/Polygon | Source images: Embark Studios via Polygon First up, you need to take a photo of the sculpture in the Atrium on Stella Montis, so don't forget to bring a camera with you. Go to the Atrium, which is a named location on the southern part of the upper level and next to Communications and Cultural Archives, and you'll find a huge sculpture in the middle of the room. Snap a photo and this objective is complete. Where to find a Baron Husk on Spaceport There are two Baron Husks on Spaceport, but you only need to snap a photo of one of them to complete this objective. The first is in the northwest section of the map, located between Fuel Depot and the West Container Yard, while the second is directly west of Vehicle Maintenance, leaning against the wall surrounding the main facility. After this, you need to ping a Bombardier on Dam Battlegrounds or a Bastion on Buried City. The latter is your best choice, because the map is smaller and there are often multiple roaming around Marano Park, the top of the Parking Garage, and Piazza Arbusto.

In my experience, Dam Battlegrounds is the best map for these, and there are two specific locations you should check out: the Hydroponic Dome Complex and Controlled Access Zone. Search every lootable container you can find, and you'll eventually stumble across enough of them. In the Controlled Access Zone, make sure you find the battery to open the door to the control room, because this is where you'll get the best loot from this area. If you're not having much luck, in theory, any location that claims to have industrial loot can house industrial batteries. However, the Arc Raiders loot table isn't quite that straightforward, so the locations above are your best bet. When you've acquired them, return to the Nomadic Envoy in Speranza to receive 8,000 XP, two jolt mines, and one advanced electrical component.
