The Greasing Her Palms mission in Arc Raiders is one of the more extensive early-game assignments given by Celeste, requiring players to traverse three distinct maps. Completing this multi-stage reconnaissance task demands careful preparation, map knowledge, and key management. This guide breaks down each objective step by step to ensure you finish the quest efficiently without losing critical items.
Starting the Greasing Her Palms Quest
To initiate the quest, speak with Celeste in Speranza to receive your briefing and the essential Dam Surveillance Key. It is highly recommended to immediately place this key into your Safe Pocket so you do not lose it upon an unexpected defeat. While the other map objectives do not require specific items, losing this key forces you to search containers across maps to find another copy.
You can tackle the three map objectives in any order that fits your current raid plans. Utilizing free loadouts for maps where you do not need to risk key items is an effective strategy to minimize gear loss.
Locating Objectives on Dam Battlegrounds and Spaceport
For the Dam Battlegrounds phase, head directly toward the central Water Treatment Control facility. Enter from the southern side, make an immediate right, and locate the locked door tucked in the corner. Unlocking this door with your key completes the first objective and grants access to high-tier loot scattered throughout the room.
Next, travel to Spaceport and navigate to the open area south of the Rocket Assembly building. Look for two massive rocket thrusters lying in the sand near Control Tower A6. Approach the southernmost thruster and remain nearby for a few seconds until the objective completion pop-up appears on your screen.
Navigating the Buried City Objective
The final objective takes place in Buried City inside the prominent Space Travel Building situated near the Research Building. Enter the structure and make your way up to the sixth floor using either the stairwell or the elevator shaft ziplines. Keep an eye on the large floor numbers painted on the stairwell walls to verify your position.
Once on the sixth floor, locate the barricaded room along the main corridor. Interact with the door to breach the barricade and step inside to automatically clear the objective. Be aware that the noise from breaching may attract nearby hostile ARC units or other patrolling raiders.
Quest Rewards and Extraction Strategy
After finishing all three location checks, head to the nearest extraction point on your current map to return safely to Speranza. You do not need to extract immediately after each individual step, as objective progress saves permanently once updated.
Handing in the completed quest to Celeste rewards you with a Lure Grenade Blueprint alongside useful crafting materials like speaker components and electrical components. These items provide substantial utility for upgrading your workshop and crafting advanced gear for future deployments.
