Arc Raiders The Major’s Footlocker quest walkthrough

For the Arc Raiders The Major’s Footlocker quest, Tian Wen sends you to the residential apartments in Dam Battlegrounds to retrieve mementos left by her mother, Major Aiva. It’s easy enough on paper, but the apartments consist of several buildings on two sites, and you’ll need to extract with the goods if you’ve any hope to complete the quest.

Out of caution, it’s worth avoiding a Free Loadout and hitting topside with a standard Augment to get a Safe Pocket where you can safely stow away the mementos in case your run ends prematurely. In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly where to find Major Aiva’s mementos to complete the Arc Raiders Major’s Footlocker quest.

Search for Major Aiva’s mementos in the apartments northwest of the Dam

First, make your way over to the Ruby Residence in the northwest of Dam Battlegrounds, located north of Ben Welder’s Sunroof and northwest of the Hydroponic Dome Complex. It’s not far from the EMT trap you’ll need to disarm for the Straight Record quest. With any luck, you’ll get a spawn point near Ruby Residence or the Pale Apartments, placing you nearby from the start of the raid.

Once you’re at the Ruby Residence, aim for the westernmost of the three apartment blocks. Refer to the map image above for the building you’re looking for. Go inside the apartment block and make your way up to the first floor (or second floor, depending on how you count floors, i.e., up two sets of stairs). Take a right into the apartment and go all the way to the back of the unit.

You should spot a small desk with a yellow prompt to ‘Search for memorabilia’ on a rectangular container, the quest’s titular Major’s footlocker. When searched, it will drop Major Aiva’s Mementos, so remember to pick them up and stow them in your Safe Pocket. Doing so will tick off the first objective for the Arc Raiders The Major’s Footlocker quest.

Deliver Major Aiva’s Mementos to Tian Wen

Now to extract. If you have a Raider Hatch Key, head to the nearby Sunroof Hatch. Otherwise, you have two options: Central Swamp Lift or North Complex Elevator. Central Swamp Lift is the safest and marginally closest of the two. It isn’t a raider hotspot, and Arc presence is minimal, so you should be able to extract without too many hiccups.

Once you’re back in Speranza, talk to Tian Wen in the Gun Shop to complete the Arc Raiders The Major’s Footlocker quest and claim your reward. You’ll receive a Hullcracker Bullprint for your efforts, an absolute boon if you plan on taking on the Queen or the Matriarch.
