M7: The Rucker Extraction (ARC Territory)

Need help with M7: The Rucker Extraction in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided? Follow our detailed walkthrough to navigate ARC Territory, find loot, and overcome challenges.

Alright, so you've just finished your chat and you're in The Throat area. First things first, head north and rummage through those storage shelves. You'll snag some Crafting Parts, a bit of Stealth Software, and a Credit Chip in a case. Keep an eye out for a Weapons Briefcase nearby – it's got a Machine Pistol and some Machine Pistol EMP Ammo. If you check the containers to the east, you'll find even more Crafting Parts and Stun Gun Ammo.

Now, follow that long hallway heading east. You'll need to hack a Keypad on the north wall (it's Security Rating 1). The room beyond has a Pocket Secretary with a super useful code, plus a Weapons Briefcase containing Tesla Cartridges and Typhoon Ammo. Keep going east. You've got two options for the lasers ahead: either use Glass-Shield Cloaking to slip past them or use Remote Hacking to disable them.

Continue east and go through the doorway into The Throat proper. You'll see a Keypad right in front of you (CODE: 3354, Security Rating 5). This deploys a platform to reach the elevator. Now, if you're feeling adventurous or just want some extra loot, you can drop down from this ledge and head south. You'll find a Credit Chip in a case. Then, head north to a metal circle where a Weapons Briefcase holds a Frag Grenade and a Concussion Grenade. On the north end of this shaft, there's a big shipping container. Look for an opening on its south side to find Crafting Parts and a Stun Gun. Head north from there, grab a Battle Rifle near some containers, and start climbing up the objects on the northern end of the container. You'll find some Combat Rifle Armor Piercing Ammo and a crate to search along the way. Once you're on top of the shipping container, head south, jump to another structure southeast, then follow a beam south to reach the elevator platform.

Alternatively, from the top of the shipping crate, you can head northeast to a ladder. Climb it and jump onto a mobile platform to the south. Use the control panel there to go up. Turn north and walk across a blue and yellow "Santeau Group" sign. Drop down onto a platform south, then enter an apartment to the west, near some pipes. Inside, you'll find Crafting Parts scattered around and in a cabinet. Grab a Gyroscopic Regulator from a table and search some compartments for a Credit Chip, a Tranquilizer Rifle, a Machine Pistol, a Mine Template, and a Gas Mine.

Leave that apartment and climb the pipes to the south. Duck under a pipe, head up a metal ramp. At the ladder, drop down a ledge and cross another blue and yellow sign to the east. This leads to a Weapons Briefcase containing the **"Lancer Rifle"**, some Crafting Parts, and some Battle Rifle Armor Piercing Ammo. Head back across the bridge, climb the ladder you skipped earlier, then go up a ramp and turn north to find a ledge. Climb up and turn west to a window you can squeeze through. Loot the apartment beyond for a HypoStim Injector, Crafting Parts, Stealth Software, Combat Rifle Regular Ammo, and Machine Pistol EMP Ammo.

Exit that apartment and climb onto a platform to the north. You'll find a button to call another movable platform. Summon it and press the up button. When it stops, head south onto another platform, then west through a doorway into an apartment. Loot the lockers for Painkillers, a Credit Chip, and a Holosight. Go through the south doorway and down some stairs to reach the area the elevator would have taken you.

If you took the elevator route, search the platform it's on for two lockers containing a Biocell and a Battle Rifle. To get into the elevator, use the ARC Keycard or jump on top, destroy the vent cover, and drop inside. Ride it up, turn north to find the apartment doorway, and you can backtrack through it to grab all the loot mentioned earlier (especially that Lancer Rifle!). Or, you can just ride the elevator back down and take the non-elevator path. Whatever works best for you.

Once you're done exploring and looting, head west from the elevator platform into a restricted area. Jensen will contact Chikane, revealing the threat ahead. Be warned, this is the toughest part yet, especially if you're aiming for Pacifist/Foxiest status and want all the collectibles. Don't sweat it, though – with some guidance, patience, a well-timed Stun Gun blast, and plenty of saving, you'll get through!

Objective: Reaching RVAC Row
Reward: XP 1950

Keep heading north through the restricted zone, then go west up some stairs for a cutscene. After that, it's time to get serious. This guide will focus on a direct path through this area, skipping optional loot to keep things streamlined. Glass-Shield Cloaking, Remote Hacking, and the Vision Feedback (Wayfinder Radar System) augmentation will be incredibly useful here.

Crouch behind some crates and wait for a clear moment, then sneak north behind more cover. Turn north again to spot a ladder...
