"Worth Your Salt" looks harmless when Celeste hands it over, but it turns into a sweaty little sprint the moment you load into Spaceport. If you've been browsing ARC Raiders Items and planning a tidy loot run, this quest will mess with that plan fast. You're not just grabbing a gizmo and leaving; you're signing up to carry dead weight through one of the busiest parts of the map while everyone else is doing the same math.

Finding the Prototype

Head for Rocket Assembly up north, then stop thinking like a tourist. Don't hang around the ground floor. Get up on the red metal catwalks and check the upper level. There's a small container tucked behind red lockers, and interacting with it drops the Battery Prototype. The second it's in your hands, the game flips a switch: no sprinting, no shooting. It feels exactly like hauling a fuel cell. So yeah, clear the nearby ARC bots first if you can, and don't pretend other Raiders won't hear you stomping around up there.

Charging Without Getting Deleted

From there, you're walking it to the Industrial Recharger sitting out in the middle of the hangar floor, big panels glowing like a "please shoot me" sign. Slot the battery in, smack the side panel, and wait. It's only a few seconds, but you'll feel every one of them because you're exposed and basically helpless. People tend to post up on angles that watch that machine, so peek before you commit. When it pops back out, you've got the Charged Battery and the same problem as before: you're still stuck moving like you've got bricks in your backpack.

Turn-In, Rewards, and the Match-Race Problem

The drop-off crate is on the ground floor in the northwestern corner, and if the prompt works, you just deposit the Charged Battery and the quest completes immediately. No extraction required, which is honestly the nicest part. You'll get the Vita Spray Blueprint, or creds if you already own it. But players are talking about a nasty bug: only one person can use the crate per match. If somebody else deposits first, your prompt may never appear, and you're left carrying a battery that's suddenly just a liability.

How People Are Playing It Right Now

Until that bug gets fixed, the safest "strategy" is speed plus a bit of stubborn caution. Spawn in and treat Rocket Assembly like a hot drop. If you're late, consider bailing and doing something else rather than donating gear to the first camper you meet. Duo runs help because one person can watch lanes while the other waddles the battery around, but even then it's messy. If you do go for it, bring a loadout you're comfortable losing, and keep in mind that the real fight often isn't the bots, it's the players who know you can't use your ARC Raiders weapons while you're carrying that thing.
