Arc Raiders What We Left Behind quest walkthrough

How do you complete the Arc Raiders What We Left Behind quest? As you progress further through Embark's hit shooter, the quests naturally get increasingly more challenging. About mid-way through, Tian Wen tasks you with finding three very specific locations.

It's among the trickiest Arc Raiders quests, not because the content is actually challenging, but just finding the specific Arc Raiders map location to trigger quest completion can be fussy. Here, we'll talk you through exactly how to complete the Arc Raiders What We Left Behind quest if you're struggling.

How to complete What We Left Behind

After speaking with Tian Wen and accepting the What We Left Behind quest, you need to play three separate games: one in Buried City, one in Spaceport, and one in Dam Battlegrounds.

In each, there is a specific location you need to find; the rest is relatively straightforward. If you're struggling to find the exact locations for this quest, we've got maps and walkthroughs for each below.

Search two containers in Buried City

The first part of this quest asks you to 'search two containers in the Raider camp beneath the Parking Lot on Buried City'. The key here lies in the word 'beneath', as the location you're looking for is underground, and not just any two containers around the parking lot.

• Launch a match in the Buried City map.
• Head to the map POI Parking Garage.
• Breach and access the electronic door to the southeast of the ground floor.
• Head down into the camp.
• Loot any two containers.

Search for something significant in Spaceport

The next two parts are slightly trickier until you know what you're looking for, as the quest text only reads 'search for anything significant'. What does that even mean?

Well, it turns out that it's actually more obvious than you'd think. As long as you're in the right area, you should find an item marked with a yellow identifier instead of the usual white, signifying a quest item. The trouble now is just finding the right location.

• Launch a match in the Spaceport map.
• Head to Bilguun's Hideout, which is connected to the eastern side of the Container Storage POI.
• Find the yellow identifier inside the container.
• Collect the notes and complete this part of the quest.

Search for something significant in Dam Battlegrounds

The third part of this quest requires you to head to the South Swamp Outpost in Dam Battlegrounds and find something else 'significant'. Once you know where to look, this part is the same as the one above.

• Launch a match in the Dam Battlegrounds map.
• Head to the South Swamp Outpost POI.
• Enter the main building, and look for the yellow item identifier.
• Search the box, and complete the quest.

With the What We Left Behind Arc Raiders quest complete, you can move on to Broken Monument, which rewards you with a gun, mod, and ammo, so it's worth doing. To help, make use of previous quest rewards, like Mechanical Components, to craft better gear, and make sure you've fully equipped the best Arc Raiders skills and aren't letting any Skill Points go to waste.
