Flickering Threat Quest Guide

Flickering Threat tasks you with investigating and neutralizing a malfunctioning ARC unit that poses an unpredictable danger.

Objectives

  1. Track the malfunctioning ARC unit using signal pulses
  2. Locate the unit (it teleports between positions)
  3. Disable the unit when it becomes vulnerable during malfunction cycles
  4. Collect the damaged ARC core

Tips

  • The unit teleports every 30 seconds — follow the signal pulse direction
  • It is only vulnerable during a 5-second malfunction window (glowing weak point)
  • Burst damage is key — the Longbow headshot or Scorpion spray during the window
  • The damaged ARC core is a valuable crafting material

Rewards

  • XP: 2,500
  • Credits: 1,500
  • Damaged ARC Core (rare material)
