Finishing the Cold Storage quest in Arc Raiders can take a bit of preparation, especially when you’re exploring the Stella Montis map for the first time. The goal is simple enough: find a J Kozma Ventures container with a set of rare books inside, grab them, and get them safely to Shani at extraction. In practice, the process comes down to searching quickly, surviving the trip, and holding onto the item until you make it out.

Most of the containers you need will spawn somewhere in the Lobby Area of Stella Montis, though they can occasionally show up in other spots too. It helps to take your time during early runs and get familiar with the layout, since containers often hide between crates or near stacked cargo where they don’t stand out much. Players who remember these possible spawn points usually finish the quest far faster on repeat attempts.

After you locate the container and grab the books, it’s smart to put the item into your safe pocket right away. That way you won’t lose it if a fight goes badly. Reaching Shani can be nerve-racking because the path to extraction is rarely quiet. Enemies roam the area, and ambushes happen often. If you’re playing with others, sticking together and covering each other creates a much safer path. Solo players benefit from moving slowly, avoiding loud fights, and picking battles that won’t drain resources.

Combat in Stella Montis can be chaotic because enemies tend to push hard and use the terrain to bottleneck players. Staying on the move, sliding between cover, and knowing when to back off will make your run much smoother. It’s worth carrying enough healing items and armor repairs so you can deal with unexpected fights after you’ve picked up the books. Many players choose to skip unnecessary encounters altogether to reduce risk.

Once you reach the extraction zone, the final stretch begins. Holding the area until evac arrives is usually the most tense part of the quest. Keeping a tight defensive position, watching common enemy entry points, and finishing the extraction quickly helps prevent the situation from getting out of hand. The longer you stay exposed, the more likely extra enemies—or other squads in multiplayer—will notice the activity. Delivering the books to Shani completes the mission and pushes your progression forward.

Cold Storage also tests how well you understand Stella Montis as a map. Its tight corridors and vertical layout can work for you or against you, depending on how familiar you are with shortcuts and elevated paths. Experienced players often use high ground or quick side routes to avoid danger or reposition during fights, turning what could be a messy run into a clean escape.

Success in Cold Storage comes down to knowing where to look, staying calm during the search, and making smart choices as you move toward extraction. With good awareness, solid communication in a squad, and careful use of supplies, the quest becomes much more manageable. Once you’ve memorized the container spawn locations and learned the flow of Stella Montis, Cold Storage stops feeling like a stressful mission and becomes a smooth part of your Arc Raiders routine.
