“Wires Crossed” sends you across three Arc Raiders maps to install three different Arc components on antennas. The objectives are clear, but finding the required parts and locating each interaction point can take some work.
This guide covers every step, including where to find the components, how to reach each antenna and what you receive after returning to Celeste.

Arc Raiders Wires Crossed objectives
The three objectives can be completed in any order:
- On The Blue Gate, attach a Snitch Scanner to the antenna at Pilgrim’s Peak.
- On Spaceport, attach a Surveyor Vault to the antenna on top of the Launch Towers.
- On Buried City, attach a Sentinel Firing Core to the antenna on the roof of the Grandioso Apartments.
Attach the Snitch Scanner at Pilgrim’s Peak
The Snitch Scanner is the most straightforward component to obtain. Shoot down a Snitch and loot it to collect the required part.
Travel to The Blue Gate and make your way to Pilgrim’s Peak at the northernmost point of the map. A zipline at the back of the location takes you to the summit. Once you reach the top, look to your left for the antenna and the prompt to attach the Snitch Scanner.
Install the Surveyor Vault at the Launch Towers
The Surveyor Vault comes from a Surveyor, one of the rarer Arc machines. Surveyors resemble large metal spheres and are not hostile until attacked. They can appear on any map while moving away from raiders.
A blue beam of light pointing into the sky indicates a Surveyor. Reported locations include the beach on Riven Tides, the area near Grandioso Apartments on Buried City and the outskirts of Spaceport. Surveyors can withstand substantial damage, but pieces break off during the fight and can be looted. Take the Surveyor Vault to Spaceport once you have it.
At Spaceport, use the zipline to reach the very top of the central Launch Towers location. The objective is a small grey box on the western tower. Interact with it to attach the Surveyor Vault.
Fit the Sentinel Firing Core at Grandioso Apartments
Sentinel Firing Cores are obtained from Sentinel long-range sniper turrets. These turrets appear at certain locations, although their spawns are not guaranteed. Useful places to check include:
- The southern corner of the Research & Administration building on Dam Battlegrounds.
- The eastern corner of the South Trench Tower on Spaceport.
- The bottom of the tower at Pilgrim’s Peak on The Blue Gate.
Loot a destroyed Sentinel to obtain its Firing Core. If you cannot find one, search Arc Couriers instead. These are white, downed Arc machines found across every map except Stella Montis.
With the component secured, head to Grandioso Apartments on Buried City. Reach the roof using the stairs or the zipline inside the building. On the eastern side of the southern block, look behind the white cylindrical tower for the antenna. Interact with it to install the Sentinel Firing Core.
Wires Crossed quest rewards
After all three antenna objectives are complete, return to Celeste. The quest rewards are:
- 8,000 XP
- Three electrical components
- One Renegade I battle rifle
- Two ziplines
- Two crash mats
