Tracking down the Armored Car

With the key in hand, the next task is locating the armored vehicle itself. Head toward the Headhouse location, then move inside the main structure and descend into the abandoned tunnel below. You’ll eventually reach a long road section and this is where the Armored Car spawns.

This area isn’t empty. Expect drones, those dangerous fireball enemies, and sometimes even a Queen patrolling nearby. The best approach is to move slowly, clear out smaller threats first, and avoid making too much noise.

Unlocking and looting the vehicle

Inside, you’ll find a weapon case that can contain different-tier loot (usually blue or green weapons). Take what you can, but don’t linger too long. After looting, you’ll need to extract safely. This part often makes or breaks a run. If you die before extraction, the quest’s progress resets.

Once you’ve checked the patrol car and grabbed your rewards, look at your quest checklist. If it still shows incomplete, just head toward the entrance of the traffic tunnel it’s right outside where the patrol car sits.

Walking out that way usually triggers the Armored Transport quest in Arc Raiders completion and locks in your progress.
