The What Goes Around quest in ARC Raiders is a quick but intelligent task that requires players to kill a burning mechanical foe with the enemy’s own gun. While the task seems easy, it will take a little patience and intelligent timing. This article outlines how to locate Fireballs, how to obtain Fireball Burners, and the most effective way to finish the task in an efficient manner.
Quest Objective
Your ultimate task is easy: eliminate a Fireball with the Fireball Burner. The catch? You won’t possess that weapon initially. You’ll need to defeat some Fireballs initially to acquire the Burners they shed, and only then can you finally do the job to your liking.
Where to Find Fireballs
Fireballs can be found in a number of areas, yet one of the most consistent spawn points is near the Research and Administration building in the southeast of the map. It often has several Fireballs, so it is ideal if you don’t feel like going too far.
Watch for rolling, glowing machines that emit fire when you get close to them — they are your targets.
Gathering Fireball Burners & Using Them
When you find them, use your normal weapons to take a couple of fire balls. Each enemy you kill has the ability to drop a fire ball burner, which is a throwable explosive that creates a fireball explosion on impact.
You’ll want to collect at least three or four Burners before attempting the main thing. You’ll want extra so that way you don’t run out if the throws miss, or you don’t quite do enough damage.
Once you have your Burners prepared, find another Fireball to take on. Let it spot you and then start its assault, as it will start unleashing streams of fire when you are in proximity. This is your signal to strike.
Throw two or three Burners directly at or close to the Fireball. The fire damage will eventually destroy the Fireball and complete the What Goes Around quest.
Final Tips
If you run out of Burners, simply return to the Research and Administration area. Fireballs tend to respawn fairly quickly, allowing you to gather more items without wasting much time.
The quest might be brief, but it’s satisfying, especially since it lets you turn an enemy’s own weapon back on them.
