How To Complete Marked for Death in Arc Raiders: Step-by-Step Guide

The quest sends you to Buried City to track down a cache for Tian Wen at the Su Durante Warehouses. The objective stays simple, but the search area hides the exact container you need to inspect. The follow-up clue sits only a few steps away, though many players miss it on the first sweep. This guide outlines the route, the container, and the object that triggers completion.

Marked for Death Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Marked for Death starts with a trip to Buried City. The quest does not require extraction, so you can enter with a free loadout if you want to avoid losing resources. Head toward the northwestern corner of the map, where the Su Durante Warehouses sit behind a cluster of sand-coated concrete structures. Raiders tend to gather here for the same reason you are visiting, so expect contact near the perimeter. Move to the left-hand outer wall of the complex and follow it until you reach a square breachable container. This container holds the first objective.

After interacting with the cache, the quest shifts to a clue step. Turn directly around from the container and face the treeline behind you. A piece of metal protrudes from the sand between the trees. Interact with that metal plate to complete the quest. You can leave the area or continue scouting Buried City for loot, events, or other missions.

Key steps to complete Marked for Death:

Find Su Durante Warehouses in the upper-left section of Buried City.

Walk to the left exterior wall and locate the square container.

Inspect the container to trigger the clue step.

Turn around and look into the trees behind you.

Interact with the metal plate protruding from the sand.

The quest ends the moment you interact with the metal clue marker. Returning to Tian Wen grants standard quest rewards tied to her progression line, typically a resource bundle useful for crafting and upgrading. You can extract at Northern Station nearby if you want to secure any loot gathered along the way.

Arc Raiders Beginner Tips

Weapon crates on the Blue Gate map appear in a small number of reliable locations, and each attracts both players and ARC patrols. Town Hall offers a locked-door spawn, while the Space Travel and Research buildings place crates inside traffic-heavy zones. Alley entrances near Town Hall sometimes spawn extra crates, but none of these points guarantee loot every run.

Keys open sealed rooms, restricted corridors, and hidden chambers that hold higher-tier crates. The Blue Gate Communication Tower Key unlocks a door beneath the tower near Pilgrim’s Peak. The Cellar Key opens a hillside entrance south of Ruined Homestead, and the Confiscation Key grants access to a guarded stash behind yellow warning signs. The Village Key leads into a separate sector with strong resource density. Each key is consumed on use.

Most Blue Gate keys are found on the Dam Battlegrounds map, especially inside Ruby Residence and the Research & Administration Building. Residential and administrative interiors carry the best drop rates. Some ARC units guarding locked sectors also drop keys. Since keys vanish after a single use, mark each door on your map and open it before extraction to avoid losing them during a failed run.
