Someone Else’s Shoes Walkthrough in ARC Raiders (Stella Montis)

The Someone Else’s Shoes assignment sends you to Stella Montis to investigate androids connected with a program known as Project Pathos. Complete three tasks: scan a powered android anywhere on the map, scan the designated unit in Research Lab 3 within the Medical Bay, and retrieve security footage from the Control Room in the Western Tunnels. You can finish these tasks over multiple raids.

Quick answer: On Stella Montis, scan an android whose eye lights are still glowing; next, scan the bed-bound android in Research Lab 3 in Medical Research. Use the console in the Western Tunnels Control Room, then turn in the quest to Celeste in Speranza.

Before you load into Stella Montis

After completing Home to Roost for Shani, you gain access to Someone Else’s Shoes; finishing that quest makes Empathetic Prototypes available from Lance. The mission takes place entirely on Stella Montis, a site rated 4 out of 5 for difficulty that becomes available after 24 rounds. Several ARC varieties roam the facility, so bring equipment you can afford to lose and dependable healing.

Scanning works only on androids that still have power. Check for a flickering blue glow in their eyes. A completely shut-down android lying in a corridor won’t show a scan option, so leave it behind and keep searching for one that’s powered.

Complete all three objectives

Scan a powered android somewhere on Stella Montis. Any functioning unit across the map counts for this first task; its location varies, so no room is guaranteed to have one. To avoid extra walking, go directly to Medical Research on the west side. A working android is commonly slumped by a wall there, and the following task is housed in that building too. Approach it and select [E] SCAN ANDROID; the objective updates as soon as the scan ends.

Locate the unit at Research Lab 3 in the Medical Bay. In the central research room, take the yellow ladder upstairs. The lab is at the south end of the upper level. Inside, check the right-hand side for an android secured to a medical bed, then interact with it to finish the task. An android outside might attack as you approach, but you can leave it alone and go in rather than spend time fighting.

Reach the Control Room in the Western Tunnels, in the northwest corner of the map. Make your way to either the Lobby Metro Station or the Loading Bay, then drop down to the track level. Follow the rails toward the Western Tunnels, passing through the Collapsed Tunnel stretch on the way in. Look for a small lit side room, step inside, and use the [E] RETRIEVE SECURITY FOOTAGE prompt on the subway control console. That interaction completes the exploration part of the quest. If someone has already been through, there may be loot left on the desk, but the console you want is the one with the footage prompt.

Hand in to Celeste and confirm completion

Extract from Stella Montis and return to Speranza. Speak with Celeste, select the Quests tab, and turn in Someone Else’s Shoes. The quest will show as complete, and its rewards will be added to your inventory.
