The Clean Dream is a mid-tier quest in Arc Raiders that blends exploration, environmental interaction, and risk-heavy traversal through contested zones. Assigned by Apollo, this mission revolves around investigating filtration and purification systems tied to humanity’s survival efforts. While the objectives themselves are straightforward, the locations involved—particularly underground tunnels and the Blue Gate Maintenance Bunker—can quickly become dangerous if you are unprepared.

This guide walks you through every step of The Clean Dream (Monitor Filtration/Purification System) quest efficiently, with practical tips to reduce risk and time spent in hostile areas.

Quest Overview: What You’ll Be Doing

The Clean Dream quest is split across two maps and multiple objectives:

1. Search containers in the Spaceport underground tunnels

2. Monitor Filtration Systems within those tunnels

3. Travel to Blue Gate and locate the Maintenance Bunker

4. Monitor the Purification System

5. Take a photo to finalize the quest

None of the steps require specific weather conditions or the Cold Snap event to be active, making this quest flexible to complete at any time.

Preparation Tips Before Deployment

If your primary goal is quest completion rather than loot or PvP, consider deploying with a free or low-value loadout. The underground tunnels and Blue Gate elevator areas are popular routes for other Raiders, and minimizing gear risk can save you frustration. You can complete all objectives without extracting safely, as surrendering or getting eliminated after progress still counts toward quest steps.

Bring:

• Lightweight weapons or basic loadouts

• Enough stamina items to move quickly

• Optional stealth gear if available

Avoid overcommitting to combat unless necessary.

Step 1: Enter Spaceport and Reach the Underground Tunnels

Load into the Spaceport map and immediately head toward one of the underground tunnel entrances. There are multiple access points scattered across the map, so choose the one closest to your spawn to limit exposure.

Once inside the tunnels, be cautious:

• Sound travels easily underground

• ARC patrols are common

• Other Raiders frequently pass through

Move methodically, using cover and corners to avoid ambushes.

Step 2: Search Four Containers

Your first objective inside the tunnels is to search four containers. These can be any lootable crates found throughout the underground area.

Important notes:

• Containers already looted by other players still count

• You do not need to extract after completing this step

• Progress updates immediately after interaction

Stick to tunnel sections with multiple containers close together to minimize travel time.

Step 3: Monitor Filtration Systems

After completing the container requirement, your quest will update to monitor Filtration Systems. These are mounted devices found along tunnel walls and structural supports.

How to identify them:

• Fixed machinery attached to walls

• Interactable prompt appears when close

• Several are distributed throughout the tunnels

You only need to interact with one to complete this step. Choose the closest system and avoid lingering, as tunnel traffic increases the longer you stay underground.

Step 4: Travel to Blue Gate and Locate the Maintenance Bunker

Once the Spaceport objectives are done, your next destination is the Blue Gate map. From your spawn point, navigate toward the Maintenance Bunker, which is positioned near an elevator shaft.

This area is high-risk due to:

• Elevator traffic drawing players

• ARC enemy spawns

• Limited escape routes

If the elevator is active, assume nearby enemy presence and proceed cautiously.

Step 5: Monitor the Purification System

Enter the Maintenance Bunker and descend the staircase. At the lower level, you’ll find the Purification System—a larger, more centralized machine compared to the tunnel filtration units.

Interact with it to complete the monitoring objective. This interaction is quick, but the enclosed environment makes awareness critical. Listen carefully for footsteps or enemy movement.

Step 6: Take the Photo and Finish the Quest

After monitoring the Purification System, return upstairs into the adjacent room. In the center of the room, on a table, you’ll find the prompt to take a photo.

This final interaction completes The Clean Dream quest.

From here, you have two options:

• Extract using the nearby elevator for a clean finish

• Leave or get eliminated if you’re running a disposable loadout

Return to Esperanza and turn in the quest to receive your rewards:

• Landmine x1

• Showstopper x3

• Heavy Fuze Grenade x3

Final Tips for Success

• Complete Spaceport objectives quickly to reduce tunnel exposure

• Listen carefully in bunker areas, especially near elevators

• Use low-risk loadouts if focusing purely on quest progress

The Clean Dream is less about firepower and more about positioning and awareness. With careful movement and smart decision-making, it can be completed in just a few efficient runs.
