U4GM Where to Install LiDAR Scanners Guide in Arc Raiders
Shani's "Eyes In The Sky" isn't hard to understand, it's hard to live through. You're hauling three LiDAR scanners to places that only make sense if you've got height, patience, and a way to not get shredded on the climb. Before you even drop in, it helps to know what you're aiming for and what you're willing to carry—stuff like an ARC Raiders BluePrint can shape your loadout choices so you're not improvising mid-fight. The real trick is treating the route like the mission, not the scanner placements.
1) Dam Battlegrounds: Control Tower.
The Control Tower is obvious, which is the problem. Everything sees you. If you sprint across the open like it's a speedrun, you'll get boxed in and pinned by bots that don't miss. Take the slow line instead: hug the cliffs, use broken cover, and clear pockets of pressure before you commit to the tower approach. Once you've bought yourself ten seconds of calm, take the zipline up and plant the first scanner. Don't get cute on the ledges—more runs die to a bad step than to a "fair" gunfight.
2) Spaceport: Communications Tower.
Spaceport feels like a wide parking lot full of angles, and the enemies act like they own it. Drones can spot you, patrols rotate, and turrets punish anyone who stands still to "think." The Communications Tower sits central, but the climb is a jumble of platforms that makes you second-guess every turn. Keep scanning for ziplines and shortcuts; they're the difference between a clean ascent and a messy spiral. Move, reset, move again—pop out, take a quick fight, then break line of sight before the heavy stuff locks on.
3) Buried City: Galleria Sign.
This is where people get tilted. The ruins don't forgive mistakes, and the Galleria sign is high enough that one missed jump costs the whole run. You'll be hopping gaps, landing on slanted debris, and trying not to panic when a bot squad starts climbing after you. Use the structure to cut sightlines, not just for cover—duck behind concrete, force them to path around, then take your window and climb. When you finally reach the sign and slot the last LiDAR, breathe for a second, because you've earned it.
Rewards and why the grind matters.
You're not doing this just for the brag. Shani pays out with three Tagging Grenades, a Vita Spray, and five Yellow Light Sticks, which is already a nice survival bundle. But the Zipline is the real upgrade; it changes how you route fights, escapes, and loot runs from that point on, especially when you pair it with a plan you've built around the BluePrint you actually want to chase on future raids.
