Arc Raiders is the kind of game where you leave Speranza feeling confident and come back with your hands shaking. Celeste's "Greasing Her Palms" job sounds simple on paper, but it's really three separate little survival stories stitched together. If you've been pricing out gear or planning what to keep in your safe pockets, it helps to know what's actually worth carrying, and I ended up cross-checking a few things on ARC Raiders Items before I committed to the run. The goal is straightforward: prove you can spot salvage opportunities across Dam Battlegrounds, the Spaceport, and Buried City without feeding your kit to the first squad that hears you breathing.

Dam Battlegrounds: Don't Gamble the Key

The Dam step is the one that tilts people, mostly because of the Dam Surveillance Key. If it isn't in a safe pocket and you get dropped, it's gone, and then you're back to looting containers like it's your second job. I always do the Dam first to get the stress out of the way. Head for the Water Treatment Control building, and take the southwest entrance if you can. Once inside, go right into the darker corridor, then right again until you spot the door with the red light and the camera. Use the key, get through, and scoop the loot fast. It's often decent—Bobcats show up, plus med stuff—so you're not risking the key for nothing.

Spaceport: Tag the Thruster and Bounce

This objective isn't hard, it's awkward. You're not hunting a loot item, you're interacting with the environment, and that means standing still in a place where people love to take fights. Go south of Rocket Assembly and find the huge rocket thrusters mounted on trailers. Don't get distracted by smaller thruster loot drops; you want the big, obvious set pieces. Move to the southwestern thruster, tuck in tight so the metal blocks sightlines, and wait for the quest notice to tick. The moment it pops, leave. That stretch gets patrolled by Rocketeers and it's prime PvP, so treat it like you're borrowing time.

Buried City: The Right Building, the Right Floor

Buried City is where folks waste entire raids because they "think" they're in the right spot. You need the Space Travel building in the eastern red zone, not Research, not whatever looks close enough. Once you're there, go vertical: zipline up the elevator shaft, hit the roof, then drop down to Floor 6. At the end of a hall you'll find a barricaded door. Break it open—melee, shots, whatever you've got—and step inside the room to register the objective. If somebody's already smashed it, even better. Walk in, don't linger, and keep listening for footsteps.

Cash In and Prep the Next Runs

After you've checked all three locations, head back to Celeste and take the reward. The Lure Grenade Blueprint is the real prize—it changes how you handle pressure, especially when you need a quick reset against AI or to mess with a push. If you're trying to keep your loadouts consistent between attempts, some players top up supplies or grab essentials through services like RSVSR so they're not stuck running budget kits every time a raid goes sideways, and it helps keep the whole Celeste grind from feeling like a punishment.
