Arc Raiders Keeping The Memory quest walkthrough – Where to find the helmet

Among all the death and robots, there are glimmers of emotive humanity that poke through Arc Raiders’s hostile world. The Arc Raiders Keeping The Memory quest is one such glimmer. For this mission, Celeste sends you into Dam Battlegrounds to show due reverence to a raider who fell during the First Wave and repair a memorial.

You’ll need to track down a helmet and return it to the memorial. Other than telling you to visit the wreckage, Celeste isn’t particularly generous with the details. It’s similar to the A Reveal in Ruins and Straight Record quests in that respect. We’ll walk you through where to find the helmet and complete the Arc Raiders Keeping The Memory quest.

✓ VideoGamer Summary

• The Wreckage is located in the Formicail Hills, east of Scrap Yard and south of Testing Annex.
• The helmet is hidden in a shrub right next to the Baron husk.
• Place the helmet on the pole near the shrub to repair the memorial.

Reach the wreckage in the Formicai Hills

First off, load into Dam Battlegrounds. I recommend a Free Loadout because there’s no need to extract with a specific item or loot for this quest, so it’s not worth risking a custom loadout with a good weapon and gear when you’re tackling the Arc Raiders Keeping The Memory quest.

You’ll find the Wreckage in the Formicai Hills in the southeast of Dam Battlegrounds, east of Scrap Yard, and south of Testing Annex. It’s located in a forest and is recognizable by the massive wreck of a Baron at the foot of a hill.

Search for the missing helmet

To find the helmet, go to the Baron husk and look for a small prickly shrub out in a clearing in the forest just west of the husk. It’s easy to miss, but it’s just below the Baron’s arm, painted with a colorful yellow, blue, and red motif, that’s suspended in the air. 

As you approach, you’ll see a yellow interact circle marker pop up that reads ‘Search for helmet’ to let you know it’s the right spot. Interact with the shrub, then remember to pick up the helmet as it drops on the ground.

Return the helmet to the memorial

Lastly, you’ll need to carry the helmet and place it on a short pole that’s a few steps south of the shrub where you found the helmet. The top of the pole will glow blue, outlining the shape of the helmet. Approach and place the helmet to wrap up the final objective.

At this point, all you need to do is head back to Speranza (no need to extract successfully for this one) and speak with Celeste to claim your rewards. You’ll receive five Simple Gun Parts, five units of Duct Tape, and five Magnets for the trouble.
