The Turnabout in ARC Raiders is one of Celeste’s quests, as she’ll request players to recover the blackmail files from the North Trench Tower at Spaceport so they can get the upper hand against the OTTM. This will require players to head into one of the more PvP-active zones and open a locked loot room to retrieve the files. So, it’s recommended that you keep the Spaceport Trench Tower key in your inventory before heading out to complete the Turnabout quest in ARC Raiders.

Where to Find the Blackmail Files in ARC Raiders’ Turnabout Quest

Spaceport North Trench Tower Location in ARC Raiders

To start the Turnabout quest in ARC Raiders, players will need to travel to the North Trench Tower on the Spaceport map. As the name implies, the tower is located in the northernmost section of the map, between the west and east Hangers.

Don’t forget to put the Spaceport Trench Tower key into your inventory before heading out to the area, as it’ll be required to unlock the door to the North Trench Tower.

There’s a high chance that the area will be filled with other hostile raiders, so it’s best to take as little equipment with you as possible to avoid risking losing it all while completing the quest. On the other hand, if you enjoy PvP, you’ll find plenty of players on your way here.

Once you enter the North Trench Tower, first make sure to clear out any Pops and Fireballs inside, as they can sneak up on you and take a chunk off your shields. Once the tower is clear of any pesky ARC enemies, head up the staircase to the upper level of the tower and look for a yellow terminal with an “interact” prompt. Once you’ve done interacting with the terminal, the blackmail files against OTTM will be uploaded to Celeste.
