Get the Euphoria ARC Pass from the Ministry of Accuracy before heading to the Automech Repair Center on Paradise Island. At the facility, the key decision is whether to repair the Zyranium leak for Marshal Donelson or sabotage the center for Kaur: those choices complete different quests and can change which rewards you receive.
How do I get the Automech Repair Center access pass?
The Automech Repair Center (ARC) is on the eastern coast of Paradise Island, in the Euphoria Coast area. The documented peaceful route starts at the Ministry of Accuracy on the island’s west side.

- Go to the Ministry of Accuracy and use the terminal on the first floor.
- Select “ALERT: Overdue Deliverable” to print the Euphoria ARC Pass.
- Take the pass to Sub-Mechanist Cade Tierney outside the repair center and present it to gain access.
You can also enter by passing skill checks or fighting through the entrance. The pass is the safest option: violence risks making people hostile and can block unique interactions, shops, and quests in the area. Choose that approach only if you accept those consequences.
How do I cross Zyranium?
Get temporary protection first
Before entering contaminated areas, work on Chief Deviser Delphinia Bryant’s quest, An Aegis Against the Miasma. Its reward, the Gas-Energy Deflection Apparatus, provides temporary protection from Zyranium. It is useful both at the ARC and on other contaminated routes on Paradise Island.

Watch the apparatus meter
- Check its meter before entering a contaminated stretch and let it recharge before crossing another one.
- Do not assume it makes you invulnerable. If its charge runs out while you are still in Zyranium, the hazard can be fatal.
- Expect other dangers as well: the ARC has malfunctioning automechs and Protectorate patrols. One sabotage walkthrough recommends clearing malfunctioning mechs before approaching the contaminated maintenance area.
Should I repair or sabotage the Automech Repair Center?
Both outcomes turn on the flow-control terminal, but they serve different quests. Compare the branches before choosing: if you have accepted Kaur’s sabotage quest, repairing the leak fails that objective, while shutting down the flow fails the repair quest.
| Choice | Quest outcome | Reported rewards and consequences |
|---|---|---|
| Sabotage the center | Completes Above and Beyond Repair; fails Vanquishing the Vexing Vapors. | PC Gamer reports that, if you sided with Kaur, the quest rewards include Kaur’s Kuirass, the Designator Triple-Barrel Shotgun, and +3 Auntie’s Choice reputation. The route leads onward to a Kaur quest involving Skycutter A102 and the northern island defenses. |
| Repair the leak | Completes Vanquishing the Vexing Vapors; fails Above and Beyond Repair if you have taken Kaur’s quest. | Game8 lists 1,080 XP, a Repeating Rifle Explosive Rounds + Ammo Recipe, The Dose, and 1,000 Bits for the repair quest. PC Gamer separately reports a 1,000-Bit payment for repairing the center and notes you can still obtain the Zyranium shield without Kaur’s quest. The unique Kaur’s Kuirass reward is lost on this branch. |
These are walkthrough-reported outcomes, not universal guarantees. Rewards depend on which faction quest you accepted and the state or order of related quests. The reported repair rewards also describe different things: Game8 lists a repair-quest reward bundle, while PC Gamer calls out the payment for repairing the facility. Treat them as separate guide reports rather than adding them together as a guaranteed payout.

At the terminal
For Kaur’s sabotage route, the walkthrough directs you to the terminal in a heavily contaminated area and to select “Initiate Zyranium Flow Shutdown”, leaving the safety warnings unresolved. For the repair route, reach the flow-control terminal and stop the leak to preserve the facility. Because the choice changes which linked quest succeeds, decide which objective matters more before activating the terminal.
Which other quests involve the ARC?
- An Aegis Against the Miasma: Delphinia Bryant’s apparatus quest supplies temporary protection for Zyranium crossings.
- Above and Beyond Repair: Kaur’s sabotage objective at the center.
- Vanquishing the Vexing Vapors: Marshal Donelson’s repair alternative.
- The Saga of Malfunctioning Mechanicals: Vigilant Hogarth’s quest involves obtaining parts for Westport’s automechs.
Related quests and rewards can be missed or changed by your choices, so consider your active objectives and faction state before resolving the leak.
