A Symbol of Unification in ARC Raiders is a quest by Celeste, who requests players to raise a flag in an outpost on Dam Battlegrounds. The quest offers players an insight into how big a role hope plays in humanity's struggle against the ARC invasion. To complete the quest, you'll visit Formicai Outpost and find the raider flag, then hoist it on a platform that overlooks Red Lake. Here's a complete guide to walk you through the quest and help you complete it.

Where to Find and Hoist the Raider Flag in ARC Raiders (A Symbol of Unification)

Symbol of Unification Quest ARC Raiders Formicai Outpost Location

After starting A Symbol of Unification in ARC Raiders, players will need to head to the Formicai Outpost in the southernmost section of the Dam Battlegrounds map. The area is practically on the edge of the map, so you'll need to do a bit of travel to reach there (unless you spawn nearby). Make sure to keep an Adrenaline Shot or two to restore your stamina while you beeline to the location.
