The Stench Of Corruption Quest In ARC Raiders

The Stench of Corruption quest in ARC Raiders consists of the following tasks:

• Reach the southwest lobby of the Departure Building.
• Find the staff locker room.
• Search the room for any clues of the saboteur’s identity.
• Reach the tunnels below the Spaceport.
• Use the key on any Flushing Terminal to override the bypass protocol.

All of these must be done in one round, meaning if you fall before completing it, you must redo the tasks from the very beginning, even if you’ve previously obtained the relevant item, like the Flushing Terminal Key.

Reach The Southwest Lobby Of The Departure Building

First, choose the Spaceport map, and go to the Departure Building, located on the western side of the map. It’s to the left of Launch Towers, and under the Arrival Building. The Departure Building is a high-value loot area, so it shouldn’t be hard to find it.

Once there, the task will change to: find the staff locker room.

Find The Staff Locker Room

The staff locker room is a room filled with orange lockers. It’s located on the lower floor, so you need to find the stairs to go down. By the door, there’s a blue sign marker on the wall with the Staff Room text under.

The mission will change once you’re there, so it’s hard to miss.

Search For Clues Of The Saboteur’s Identity

After reaching the staff locker room, investigate the clothing rack at the back of the room​​​​​, beside the wall, on the right side.

This will give you the Flushing Terminal Key. You don’t have to put it in a safe pocket, as it won’t be relevant on a second playthrough.

Reach The Tunnels Below The Spaceport

To reach the tunnel below the Spaceport, go outside the Departure Building and head to the opening on the southeast of the Departure Building (southwest of the Launch Towers).

It’s an opening in the ground that will lead you to an underground tunnel area. Once you’re there, the task will be completed, and it will change to: use the key on any Flushing Terminal.

Use The Key On Any Flushing Terminal

Finally, you must find a Flushing Terminal. If you enter from the aforementioned entrance, you can do so by heading northwest, following the tunnel. Stay on the left side, and soon, you’ll find a console you can interact with.

Use the key on the Flushing Terminal to override the bypass protocol and complete The Stench of Corruption quest in ARC Raiders.
