The Down to Earth quest in ARC Raiders is a short but action-packed mission that teaches you how to use Call Stations and deliver supplies safely. You’ll need to visit a Field Depot, find and carry a Field Crate, and drop it off at a Supply Station to complete the quest. It’s a great way to get used to supply runs and earn some solid starter rewards like the Combat Mk. 1 and a medium shield.
How to Start the Down to Earth Quest
The Down to Earth quest is given by Shani, and it has three main tasks: visit a Field Depot, deliver a Field Crate to a Supply Station, and then collect your reward. Keep in mind that you need to do all of this in a single playthrough. If you die or quit halfway through, your progress won’t carry over you’ll have to start the quest again from the beginning.
Down to Earth Quest Guide

You won’t receive a waypoint for this one, so you’ll have to look for the call station yourself. When you approach, an icon will appear on your map, and this will guide you to the location. After you’ve picked one, search the nearby area for a Field Crate it’s usually placed somewhere close to the depot. When you spot the crate, interact with it to pick it up. You’ll then need to carry it all the way back to the Field Depot, so be careful on the way. While carrying the crate, you can’t use your main weapon, so stay alert and watch your surroundings.

Once you reach the depot, drop the crate into the highlighted spot. This will activate the depot, unlock a locked chest, and start the reward sequence. Open the chest to grab your loot. You’ll usually find useful items like guns, ammo, and other handy resources inside. After you’re done looting, open your map and head toward the nearest extraction point.
After you extract safely, head back to Speranza and speak with Shani to finish the quest. Once it’s completed, you’ll be rewarded with the Combat MK.1 Augment and a Medium Shield.
