Echoes of Victory Ridge is one of the more atmospheric quests in ARC Raiders, sending players to a long-forgotten corner of Dam Battlegrounds to uncover the remains of an abandoned resistance hideout. Celeste believes old battle plans tied to Major Aiva’s squad are hidden somewhere beneath a broken highway, and your job is to retrieve them and uncover a piece of the war’s history.

This guide breaks down exactly where to find the makeshift hideout, how to secure Major Aiva’s Patch, and how to complete Echoes of Victory Ridge safely with minimal hassle.

Quest Breakdown: Echoes of Victory Ridge

Your objectives are simple, but the navigation isn’t always obvious:

1. Travel to the West Broken Bridge landmark

2. Locate the hideout beneath the collapsed highway

3. Retrieve the battle plans item (Major Aiva’s Patch)

4. Extract safely and report back to Celeste

This quest is all about exploration and environmental clues, rather than fighting heavy ARC forces.

Step 1: Travel to the West Broken Bridge

The first step is to deploy into Dam Battlegrounds and head toward the northernmost edge of the map. You’re specifically looking for:

Landmark:

✔ West Broken Bridge
✔ Located northwest of the Power Generation Complex

This area is far from high-traffic zones like Research, Admin, and Water Treatment, so you’ll likely encounter minimal raider activity.

Travel Tip

Because the hideout is on the outskirts of the map, the biggest challenge isn’t combat—it’s distance.
Bring at least:

• 1–2 Adrenaline Shots

• Enough stamina food/drinks

• A normal loadout to ensure you have your Safe Pocket

Step 2: Locate the Collapsed Highway Structure

Once you reach the northern cliffs, look for a large stretch of highway that has completely caved in. The area is littered with:

• Abandoned wrecked vehicles

• Torn road sections

• Piles of debris

• Makeshift barricades

Look specifically for a blue tarp draped over one of the broken segments. This tarp marks the correct hideout.

This tarp is the key visual cue

If you see a road slab with fabric secured over it, you’ve found the hideout’s entrance.

Step 3: Enter the Makeshift Hideout

Approach the underside of the collapsed road. There is enough space to crawl or crouch-walk beneath the slab.

Inside this hidden nook, you’ll find:

✔ A metal storage container
✔ Improvised camp supplies
✔ Environmental remains from a former resistance outpost

This is where the battle plans are stored.

Step 4: Retrieve Major Aiva’s Patch (Battle Plans)

Open the metal container to uncover:

Quest Item:

Major Aiva’s Patch

This acts as both the keepsake and the “battle plans” referenced in the quest text. Once looted:

IMPORTANT:

Place the item into your Safe Pocket immediately.
If you die before extracting, the item drops to the ground—and the entire journey to the outskirts of Dam Battlegrounds will need to be repeated.

Step 5: Extract Safely Back to Speranza

Fortunately, the area near the West Broken Bridge is quiet and typically free of dangerous ARC machines. Once you secure the Patch:

1. Head to the nearest extraction elevator

2. Stay away from high-value PVP areas

3. Extract and return to Speranza

After landing in the hub, speak with Celeste to complete the quest.

She’ll collect the Patch and reward you with:

Echoes of Victory Ridge Rewards

• 6× Crude Explosives

• 2× Processors

• 1× Music Box (Trinket)

Completing this quest also unlocks a short but important narrative cutscene explaining more about Major Aiva’s past and her connection to the traders of Speranza. Don’t skip it if you’re invested in ARC Raiders’ storyline.

Why This Quest Matters

Echoes of Victory Ridge is more than just another fetch mission—it expands on:

• The early resistance against the ARC

• Aiva’s leadership and sacrifice

• The personal history of Tian Wen and Celeste

• The hidden hideouts used by the first raider groups

Completing it contributes to a chain of lore-heavy missions involving the Aiva storyline.

Struggling With the Long Travel?

Because the hideout is located in one of the most distant corners of Dam Battlegrounds, many players find Echoes of Victory Ridge frustrating when they spawn on the opposite side of the map—or when they get ambushed on the way back.

ARC Raiders Boosting at GladiatorBoost can make this quest much easier by helping you:

• Clear the route to West Broken Bridge

• Secure the hideout area

• Retrieve Major Aiva’s Patch safely

• Escort you to the nearest extraction

• Avoid PvP interference completely

This is the fastest and safest way to finish narrative quests and progress toward higher-tier unlocks.

Final Tips for Echoes of Victory Ridge

• Bring stamina boosters—this is a long run

• Use headphones to avoid surprise ARC Pop encounters

• Don’t sprint blindly under the bridge (Ticks can spawn)

• Check nearby cliffs for safe descent paths

• Secure the Patch instantly using your Safe Pocket
