Arc Raiders: A Guide to the Stench of Corruption Quest
If you’ve stumbled upon The Stench of Corruption quest in Arc Raiders, you might be curious about how to track down and complete each objective. Gathering all the necessary locations can be tricky, but don’t worry—we’ve got the details you need. Remember, you must finish every step of this quest in one go. If you die before completing it, you’ll have to start over the next time you log in. Fortunately, you don’t need to extract to get credit for finishing, so once you wrap up the quest, dying won’t be a huge setback. Still, it’s a good idea to try to extract afterward.
When you’re ready to tackle The Stench of Corruption, follow these steps:
**Reach the southwest lobby of the Departure Building**
Your first destination is the Departure Building located at the Spaceport, near the center of the map, just west of the Launch Tower. Since you’ll be heading to the southwest lobby next, it’s best to approach from that direction.
**Find the staff locker room**
Inside the southwest lobby on the bottom floor, look for the staff locker room. The door is at the back wall of this dimly lit area and is clearly marked “Staff Room.”
**Enter the staff locker room**
Once inside, you’ll find a room filled with lockers and hazmat suits. Your next task is to search this area for clues.
**Search the room for any clues of the saboteur’s identity**
Check near the back of the room for the hazmat suits and interact with them to obtain the Flushing Terminal Key. Be sure to grab it, as it’s essential for completing the quest.
**Reach the tunnels below the Spaceport**
If you’re on this quest, you’ve likely visited the underground tunnels at the Spaceport before. The best entry point is through a collapsed section just beneath the Launch Tower.
**Use the key on any Flushing Terminal to override the bypass protocol**
Once you’re in the tunnels, your final task is to find a Flushing Terminal and interact with it to finish the quest. There are several terminals available, but the easiest one to locate is just west of your entry point into the tunnels. This is the preferred Flushing Terminal for this quest.
After interacting with the Flushing Terminal, you’ll complete The Stench of Corruption and can then extract. There are various extraction points accessible from the tunnels, so choose the one that suits you best to return to Speranza.
For completing this quest in Speranza, you’ll be rewarded with the Warden outfit, which might be a pleasant surprise. Whether you find it appealing is up to personal taste, but hey, everyone has their preferences!
