Arc Raiders has a nasty habit of turning simple errands into full-on survival stories, and Celeste's "Greasing Her Palms" job is a perfect example. She's not asking for heroics. She wants proof you can sniff out salvage routes across three zones without getting folded by mutants or another squad. Before you head out, it's smart to get your loadout and stash sorted—knowing what to keep, what to risk, and what to replace fast. That's why I always double-check my kit plan and browse ARC Raiders Items so I'm not improvising mid-raid with a half-broken gun and no meds.

1) Dam Battlegrounds First

Do the Dam objective first, because the Dam Surveillance Key is the part that can ruin your night. If you're carrying it in an unsafe pocket and you get dropped, it's gone. Then you're back to looting containers like it's a second job. Head for the Water Treatment Control building and take the southwest entrance if you can; it tends to be quieter. Inside, hang a right into the darker corridor, then right again. You're looking for a door marked by a red light and a camera. Pop the key, step in, grab the objective, and don't linger—there's often decent medical stuff and Bobcats in there, which is tempting, but it's also the kind of room people check after they hear shots.

2) Spaceport Without Getting Stuck

The Spaceport step isn't complicated, it's just awkward. You need the big rocket thrusters sitting on trailers south of Rocket Assembly—the huge map props, not the lootable thruster items. Walk up to the southwestern one and hold position for a few seconds until the objective ticks. Those seconds feel long because patrols swing through and players love that lane for PvP. Use the thruster itself as hard cover, keep your camera moving, and be ready to bail the moment you get the notification. If you try to "just wait one more second" for loot, that's usually when someone shows up.

3) Buried City, Go Up Then Down

Buried City is where people get turned around. You want the Space Travel building in the eastern red zone, not the Research building—mix those up and you'll waste an entire run. Once you're in the right place, think vertical. Zipline up the elevator shaft to the roof, then drop down to Floor 6. At the end of a hallway you'll spot a barricaded door; break it open or shoot it and step inside to trigger the objective. If another squad already smashed it, even better—just walk in, confirm it popped, and get out before the noise attracts company.

Turn-In And Making The Grind Worth It

After you've checked all three spots, loop back to Celeste and cash it in. The Lure Grenade Blueprint is the real prize—it's the sort of tool that buys you space when things get chaotic, and it makes future runs feel less desperate. You'll also get crafting components that help keep your kit steady instead of constantly patchwork. And if you're the type who hates losing momentum after a bad death, it can help to have a reliable way to restock essentials through services like RSVSR so you're spending more time running objectives and less time scraping together basics between raids.
