A mysterious contact needs a favor, a shipment’s gone missing, and whispers of betrayal spread across multiple zones. In “Greasing Her Palms,” every clue drags players deeper into Arc Raiders’ shadowy trade routes, where trust costs more than credits and one wrong choice could turn allies into targets.
‘Greasing Her Palms’ quest walkthrough in Arc Raiders
Head to the multi-map locations marked on your compass to track down the rogue trader. Collect three bribe items from scattered supply crates in the first zone, then move to the second map’s outpost for the final payoff stash guarded by patrolling drones. Approach stealthily to avoid alerts, grab the goods, and return to her camp in the third zone for handover-watch for ambushes along the extraction path. Completing this nets reputation boosts and rare crafting mats.
With three locations to visit on three different maps, all you need to do to tick off each objective is enter the designated room. If someone has beat you to it and all the loot has gone, don’t worry, because you can still complete the quest. Here are the three locations you need to visit on Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and Buried City.
Water Treatment Control locked room (Dam Battlegrounds)
First up is the locked room in Water Treatment Control on Dam Battlegrounds, which, despite needing a key to unlock, is probably the most straightforward of the three because it tells you exactly where you need to go.
Head to the named Water Treatment Control landmark near the center of the map, then make your way to the middle floor. This building isn’t particularly big, but you’ll find the locked room in the eastern corner, which you can see in the image above. Unlock it with a key – or just head inside if someone else has beaten you to it – and the task should be completed.
Rocket Assembly rocket thrusters (Spaceport)
For the rocket thrusters on Spaceport, you don’t actually need to do anything specific beyond go to a location. Even though the objective says you need to “scope out” the rocket thrusters, all this means is you need to hang around there for a few moments until the task is complete.
The location you must visit is actually closer to Control Tower A6 than Rocket Assembly. Just north-east of Control Tower A6, you’ll spot some rocket thrusters mounted on trailers. Approach the thrusters and stay in the area until the task is complete. Use the thrusters as cover to avoid getting spotted by other raiders and Arc enemies like the pesky Rocketeer that killed me shortly after I completed the mission.
If you’re having trouble completing the objective, I was able to complete it by walking back and forth beside the southwestern thruster.
Space Travel Building barricaded area (Buried City)
Finally, you’re tasked with visiting a “barricaded area” on the sixth floor of the Space Travel building on Buried City. The most important thing here is making sure you’re in the Space Travel building, and not the Research building found right next to it.
You can either take the stairs or the zipline up the elevator shaft to reach the sixth floor (the zipline will take you to the roof though, so make sure to go back down one floor). Head down the corridor until you find a barricaded door. Breach it and head inside to tick off the objective. If the door is already open by the time you get there, like it was for me, just enter each room for a couple of seconds until it completes.
Best route to complete all three locations in one run
Arc Raiders’ “Greasing Her Palms” quest spans three separate maps-Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and Buried City-making a single continuous run impossible, as players must drop into each map individually via matchmaking or solo queues.
Efficient Completion Order
Start with Dam Battlegrounds for its central, quick-access objective at Water Treatment Control, minimizing raid time exposure. Follow with Spaceport, as its outdoor thruster site northeast of Control Tower A6 allows fast vehicle travel and enemy cover use.
Final Map Strategy
End at Buried City, tackling the Space Travel building’s sixth-floor breach last; ziplines speed vertical progress, and shared progress from other players often simplifies entry.
Time-Saving Tips
Queue for lower-population raids to reduce competition, equip mobility tools like grapples early, and extract immediately after each objective to chain drops swiftly-total completion typically takes 20-40 minutes across sessions.
