The Stench of Corruption ARC Raiders Quest Guide
To complete The Stench of Corruption in ARC Raiders, you’ll need to visit the Departure Building on Spaceport to find a specific Staff Locker Room and investigate some clues. Then, you must travel into the underground tunnels below the map to override a Flushing Terminal.
The “Stench of Corruption” quest is a single-round mission, meaning if you die before completing all steps, you have to start over. It rewards the unique Warden Outfit, so it’s definitely worth the effort. Here is a quick, step-by-step guide to finding the locker room and the terminal fast.
The Stench of Corruption ARC Raiders Quest Overview:
Quest Giver: Shani
Objectives (Must be done in one round):
- Reach the Southwest Lobby of the Departure Building
- Find the Staff Locker Room
- Search the room for clues
- Reach the tunnels below Spaceport
- Use the key on any Flushing Terminal
Rewards:
Step 1: The Departure Building Staff Room
Your first target is the Departure Building (the large red building) on Spaceport. You need to head to the Southwest lobby specifically.

- Entrance: Enter the lobby on the Southwest corner of the building. This will complete the first objective.
- The Locker Room: From that lobby, head downstairs/lower level. Look for a door along the back wall clearly marked “Staff Room.”
- The Key: Inside the locker room, look for a clothing rack with hazmat suits near the back. Interact with the suits to loot the Flushing Terminal Key.



Step 2: The Underground Flushing Terminal
With the key in hand, you need to get underground. Exit the building and head towards the Launch Towers.

- Tunnel Entrance: The easiest way down is the large crack/collapsed section in the ground just below the Launch Tower (or use one of the white ladder structures nearby).
- The Terminal: Once in the tunnels, head West from the entrance. Look for a maintenance area with computer banks.
- Action: Locate a terminal that is flashing. Interact with it to use your key and override the protocol.


Step 3: Extract from Stench of Corruption ARC Raiders quest (Optional)
Once you override the terminal, the quest is complete and the Warden Outfit is yours (after you turn the quest in back to Shani)! You can extract to save your loot or simply leave the match.
