    Straight Record Quest Guide

    This guide will walk you through completing the "Straight Record" quest on the Dam Battlegrounds map. Your objective is to find and shut down an old EMP trap by interacting with three specific power switches in a particular order, and then finally disabling the main EMP pole.

    Step 1: Locate the Quest Area

    • Start by heading north on the Dam Battlegrounds map, towards the area known as Victory Ridge.
    • The specific location for the quest will be marked on your map. Victory Ridge Map Location

    Step 2: Initiate the Quest

    • Once you reach Victory Ridge, look for a tall EMP pole next to a large generator. It will have a distinctive yellow mission glow.
    • This is your starting point for the quest. Interact with the EMP pole to begin. Initiate EMP Pole Interaction
    • You'll need to locate and turn off three generator-type boxes. It's crucial to do them in a specific order, as interacting with the wrong box first will prevent further progress.

    Step 3: Disable the First Power Switch

    • From the initial EMP pole, head directly north, up onto the ridge.
    • You'll see a power cable stretching out, leading to the first generator box.
    • Follow this cable and interact with the box to turn it off. First Power Switch Location

    Step 4: Disable the Second Power Switch

    • Turn back around towards the main EMP pole.
    • Look to your left for a half-broken cement house.
    • Climb up to the second floor of this house.
    • From the second floor, look south, and you will see the second generator box at the end of what used to be a hallway. Interact with it to turn off the switch. Second Power Switch Location

    Step 5: Disable the Third Power Switch

    • From the second generator's location, head south of the main EMP pole again.
    • Look for another telephone pole-like structure with a long black power cable hanging from it.
    • Follow this cable to reach the third and final generator box. Interact with it to shut off the last switch. Third Power Switch Location

    Step 6: Shut Down the EMP Trap

    • Once all three power switches have been turned off, return to the original EMP pole where you started the quest.
    • Interact with the main EMP pole to disable the trap and complete the "Straight Record" quest. Disable Main EMP Trap
