As you continue forward, you will eventually encounter a small pool of dirty sewage water with several large pipes feeding into it. The water sample you need is connected to ARC Raiders BluePrints one of these pipes.

Look toward the left-hand side of the room and approach the pipe there. Once close enough, you will receive an interaction prompt allowing you to collect the water sample for Celeste.

After interacting with the pipe, the objective updates immediately, confirming that the sample has been secured.

Safely Extracting With the Sample

Collecting the water sample is only half the mission. Like most extraction shooter objectives, you still need to survive and successfully leave the raid.

This is where many players fail the quest.

Because the Flood Access Tunnel is located in a somewhat isolated section of the map, it can be tempting to sprint directly toward extraction without checking your surroundings. However, enemy players often patrol nearby high-traffic routes leading away from the Red Lakes region.

A few important survival tips include:

Avoid unnecessary fights after securing the sample

Stick to the cover while crossing open areas

Listen carefully for footsteps and gunfire

Save healing items for emergency situations

Use elevation and terrain to avoid detection

If you are carrying valuable loot in addition to the water sample, extracting safely becomes even more important.

Once you successfully leave the raid, return to ARC Raiders Materials Speranza and speak with Celeste again. Handing over the sample will complete the Water Troubles quest.
