Quest Guide: The Major's Footlocker
Dam Battlegrounds walkthrough for The Major's Footlocker with objectives, prep, route order, and extract notes.
← Back to quest guides
The Major's Footlocker is a fetch & deliver in ARC Raiders. This version is written as a practical raid plan: what to bring, the order to run the steps in, and what usually kills the run once the quest is technically done.

Objective list
- In one round
- Search for Major Aiva's mementos in the apartments northwest of The Dam
- Deliver Major Aiva's Mementos to Tian Wen
What to bring
- A reliable mid-range primary and a sidearm or close-range backup; most quest deaths happen while rotating, not while looting.
- A light-value raid kit. 'In one round' objectives punish greed, so bring enough to survive, not enough to cry over.
- Stamina-friendly utility like smoke or a distraction item, because recon steps usually force you into exposed rooftops, offices, or dead-end rooms.
How to run it
Because the tracker says this must be done in one round, treat the named objective areas as a route: get in, clear the interaction, confirm the update, then rotate immediately. You are not trying to win the whole lobby; you are trying to leave with the quest done.
- Step 1: Search for Major Aiva's mementos in the apartments northwest of The Dam
Once you are at the point of interest, clear the nearest angle first, then interact. Most misses on this step happen because players sprint past the actual prompt or loot through the room too early.
- Step 2: Deliver Major Aiva's Mementos to Tian Wen
Do not queue extra looting on the way back. Once the item is in your bag, your next win condition is simply getting out alive.
Where players usually throw this quest
- Starting the raid without a simple, clockwork route. One-round quests fall apart when you improvise after the first gunshot.
- Finishing the item step and then greed-looting instead of extracting while the objective is still fresh and uncontested.
- Running past the actual interaction prompt. Slow down for five seconds, clear the room, and let the tracker update before leaving.
- Taking a fight on the way out just because you hear it. Quest raids are won by discipline, not by K/D.
Miswired note
Use the named area as your anchor, then plan your extract before you touch the objective. That matters more than another backpack worth of salvage on Dam Battlegrounds.
