To The Skies in Arc Raiders awards 8,000 XP, three ARC Performance Steel, three ARC Thermo Lining, and three ARC Synthetic Resin after you complete Apollo's prototype experiment. The repair requires one of each of those materials plus one Pop Trigger, which is not included in the reward set. The relevant ARC Raiders Items for preparation are those four components, so check your supplies before deploying.
What you receive for completing To The Skies
The payout combines XP with three component stacks. These are the listed completion rewards, not materials collected from the wrecks during the quest.

ARC Synthetic Resin
3
Budget for one ARC Performance Steel, one Pop Trigger, one ARC Synthetic Resin, and one ARC Thermo Lining when preparing the repair. The objective names the trigger "ARC Pop Trigger," but the inventory item is called Pop Trigger. Having the complete set ready prevents a missing component from interrupting the installation.
Complete the scans and repair one prototype
Start by scanning a Crashed ARC Probe and an ARC Courier. Follow smoke plumes and check for their nearby map icons, then approach each wreck and use its scan interaction. Searching the contents is a different action from recording the required flight data.
You only need one Gondola Prototype. On Spaceport, the East Plains prototype is just east of the eastern extraction elevator, north of Communications Tower and south of East Plains Warehouses. It rests on crates beside a small shelter, giving you concrete landmarks to follow.
Install the four components at the prototype, then interact again to activate it. Delivering the materials is not the final action: activation is a separate objective, so check the quest tracker before leaving the machine.
When the reward becomes ready to claim
The prototype malfunctions and explodes after activation. That result completes the experiment; it does not mean the quest has failed. Step back, confirm that the activation objective has registered, then extract and return to Apollo to claim the payout.
If installation stops advancing, check which prototype location your quest has already registered. For the October 2026 quest, switching to another prototype can use materials without completing the corresponding objectives. Continue at the first registered machine rather than testing additional locations with more components.
Claim Apollo's rewards and check your remaining Pop Trigger supply before preparing your next raid. For later crafting plans involving cheap ARC Raiders BluePrints, begin with the specific recipe you want to complete and the materials already in your stash.
