In ARC Raiders, the quest “A Warm Place to Rest” sends you into a mostly exploration-style mission across the map known as The Buried City.
The key and potentially confusing part is the phase where you must follow the red markers—a set of visual cues (flags, ribbons, trail markers) that lead you from one interaction point to the next.
This guide walks you through that portion step-by-step, gives you the quick overview of the quest and ensures you won’t miss the reward once you reach the grave.
Location of the Red markers in Arc Raiders
The red markers begin at the Abandoned Highway Camp in the Buried City. From that camp you’ll find a trail of red ribbons or flags placed on posts, vehicles, or highway supports. They guide you eastwards along the collapsed elevated highway, then drop you down into the Piazza Arbusto area and then to Buried Properties.

How to complete Follow the Red Markers objective in ARC Raiders
After taking the Warm Place to Rest quest from Apollo, make your way to the Abandoned Highway camp and start your objective to follow the red markers:
Step 1
Go to the Abandoned Highway Camp in the Buried City map. Climb onto the raised highway structure if needed to reach the camp location.
Step 2
Interact with the backpack or “signs of survivors” object at the camp to trigger the next objective.
Step 3
Begin following the red trail markers. Look for red flags/ribbons attached to posts, highway supports or vehicles. Proceed along the highway eastwards toward the collapse. Movement is the key here, rather than combat.
Step 5
Inspect the grave marker (helmet on a stick among debris) to complete the objective. Once done, you can extract and return to the trader to claim the reward.
What comes next in the Warm Place to Rest mission?
While much of the mission is about reaching specific locations and interacting with objects, the “follow red markers” portion is essentially the connective tissue between the camp interaction and the grave interaction. It gives a sense of traversal, direction and narrative momentum, guiding you through a scenic—but exposed—route across the map.
Once you’ve followed the red markers from the camp to the grave, interacted with the grave marker and extracted, you’re done. Return to the trader (Apollo) and claim your reward: the Radio Renegade outfit plus the Noisemakers and Blue Light Sticks.
