Step 1: Collect 2 ARC Powercells
Source: Regular ARC enemies (Wasps, Hornets, Ticks, Pops, Fireballs).
Tip: Kill small mobs en route - takes 1-2 minutes. Keep extras in inventory to avoid backtracking.
Step 2: Locate ARC Deforester
3 spawn locations on Blue Gate:
- Adorned Wreckage (central, between Broken Earth + Ridgeline)
- Barren Clearing (west, near Village/Raider's Refuge)
- Ridgeline (east, near Maintenance Bunker)
Pick closest spawn. Look for large cylindrical wreckage (broken tree-felling machine).
Step 3: Power Up Deforester (2 Panels)
Inside main chassis:
- Left panel first - interact (uses 1st ARC Powercell). Sparks fly, center ignites
- Wait for fire to die (5-10 seconds)
- Rear panel second - interact (2nd Powercell). Machine powers up
Step 4: Loot Reward (Top Section)
- Climb to top (wreckage ladders/ledges vary by spawn)
- Search core (interaction panel at rear of upper platform). No Powercell needed
- Quest complete - extract!
Common Bugs & Fixes
Panels missing/uninteractive:
- Restart raid - 30% spawn bug
- Wait for other players - sometimes they trigger it
- Bring 3-4 extra Powercells
Can't find Deforester:
- Check all 3 locations - random spawn
- Maintenance Bunker + Adorned Wreckage most common
Solo time: 5-10 minutes. Easier with squad for Powercell farming.
