ARC Raiders Marked for Death Quest Guide

Check Tian Wens paint trap on the outskirts and claim two solid tier gun mods.

Tian Wen suspects someone is skimming her covert supply drops in the Buried City. Instead of confronting them head-on, she rigged one of her drop boxes with a dye trap and wants you to inspect the fallout. Marked for Death quest in ARC Raiders is a fast investigation contract on the edge of the map, and because you do not need to extract with any physical items, you’re good to deploy with a free loadout or budget kit for fear of your heavy guns being picked off your body.

With all that said, here’s how to find the cache at the Su Durante Warehouses to complete Marked for Death in ARC Raiders.

Reach the Su Durante Warehouses in the Outskirts in Buried City

ARC Raiders Su Durante Warehouses map location

This objective requires you to visit the Su Durante Warehouses, found in the northwestern corner of Buried City, just west of the Gas Station and north of the Marano Station.

Because this area is on the map’s edge rather than the high-traffic busy center, you’ll encounter far fewer ARCs and aggressive raiders. If you happen to spawn on the south or east side, skirt along the outer dunes instead of cutting through Piazza Roma to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Search for Tian Wen’s Cache Near the Warehouses

Once you arrive at the compound, move outside against the western exterior wall of the largest corrugated iron building. Follow the outer wall until you find a square metal crate placed by the rusted siding. Approach the container and hit the Investigate prompt to update your log.

Follow the Clues (Inspect the Metal Shard)

Following the footprints clues

The objective updates to “Follow the clues,” which sounds open-ended, but the thief didn’t make it far. Look down at the sand beside the crate to spot a trail of footprints. Follow these tracks about 10 meters west, passing through the gap in the chain-link fence and into the lower brush.

Inspecting the metal shard in ARC Raiders

Under the tree branches, you will find a metal shard poking out of the sand. Walk up to it and use the prompt to inspect the object. Interacting with the shard wraps up the Marked for Death quest.

You don’t have to survive the rest of the raid to bank the objective, so you’re free to push further into the city to loot commercial tech or head over to the Northern Station metro entrance near the Library to cash out.

Back in Speranza, go to the Gun Shop and report your findings to Tian Wen. She confirms the dead thief was trying to pocket illicit supplies that Celeste never approved, and hands over two solid weapon mods for keeping quiet:

  • 1x Angled Grip II (reduces horizontal recoil across multiple weapon platforms)
  • 1x Shotgun Choke II (tightens pellet spread for higher close-range burst damage)
