The Marked for Death quest in Arc Raiders sends you to the Buried City’s outskirts to check on one of Tian Wen’s hidden caches. The objective sounds simple, but two things consistently trip players up: going to the wrong “warehouse” and then missing the tiny clue that completes the mission.
This breakdown focuses on Su Durante Warehouses: how to reach the right point of interest, where exactly the cache sits on the building, and how to follow the short trail of evidence to finish the quest.
Su Durante Warehouse Arc Raiders location in Buried City
Marked for Death takes place in Buried City, but you never need to push into the dense central streets. Su Durante Warehouses is an outskirt point of interest on the north side of the map.
| Detail | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Region | Buried City |
| Area type | Outskirts (edge of the map, not inner city) |
| Map position | North / north-west Buried City, above the Library landmark |
| Point of interest name | Su Durante Warehouses (plural) |
| Common mistake | Going to a different “Warehouse” POI on the outskirts instead of Su Durante Warehouses |
Open your tactical map and look toward the top edge of Buried City. You’re looking for the Su Durante Warehouses label north of the Library POI rather than any generic “Warehouse” tag elsewhere on the outskirts.
Because this location is on the edge of the play space, enemy density is usually lower than in the center of Buried City. You can still run into other raiders heading for the same cache, but you’re less likely to walk straight into heavy ARC patrols.
Where to find Tian Wen’s cache at Su Durante Warehouses
Once you arrive at Su Durante Warehouses, the game tells you to “search for Tian Wen’s cache near the warehouses.” The objective marker roughly anchors you to the building, but the cache itself is small and, importantly, it’s not inside.
| Step | Action at Su Durante Warehouses |
|---|---|
| 1. Reach the structure | Head to the large warehouse building that defines the POI. |
| 2. Move outside, not in | Stay on the exterior; you do not need to enter the warehouse interior for this quest. |
| 3. Go to the west/left wall | Circle the outside until you are on the western side (left side if you face the main frontage). |
| 4. Look for the crate | Find a square, breach-style container pressed against the wall, highlighted with the usual yellow interaction. |
| 5. Investigate | Interact with the container to “investigate” and trigger the second phase of the quest. |
The container uses the same visual language as other breach-and-search crates you see across Arc Raiders: boxy, industrial, and marked as interactable. Hug the west-facing wall and walk along it; you should almost walk into the crate.
As soon as you finish the interaction, the objective text changes from checking the cache to following clues, which is where many players get stuck.
How to follow the clue near Tian Wen’s cache
After inspecting the crate, the game asks you to “follow the clues.” There is no new waypoint, and the object you need to inspect next is only a few steps away, which makes it easy to overlook.
| Clue element | What it looks like | How it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Visual trail | Distinct footprints in the sand leaving the cache area | Shows the direction whoever tampered with the cache went |
| Environmental landmark | Small cluster or line of trees just beyond the warehouse fence | Marks the short path you need to walk into |
| Final clue object | Piece of metal or metal plate protruding from the sand between the trees | Interacting with this completes Marked for Death |
Stand in front of the cache you just inspected and look down: you should see a more pronounced set of footprints in the sand leading away from the crate. These are not just background details; they are the “clues” the quest text refers to.
Follow the footprints a short distance. They lead through a gap in the fence line and into a small patch of trees immediately west of the warehouse wall. In the middle of this small grove, look for a metal plate or shard sticking up out of the sand. It’s low, narrow, and easy to miss if you’re sprinting or focused on distant enemies.
Move close until you get the interaction prompt on that metal piece and investigate it. That single interaction resolves the mystery around the cache and marks the quest as complete.
What to do after finishing Marked for Death
Once you inspect the metal plate, Marked for Death is done. From here, you can choose whether to keep playing out the raid or leave immediately.
| Option | Why you might choose it |
|---|---|
| Stay and loot | Use the outskirts position to sweep nearby buildings, hunt ARCs, or stack progress on other Buried City quests. |
| Head to an extraction point | If you brought valuable gear or want to bank quest rewards quickly, move toward the nearest station. |
| Use Library-side extraction | From Su Durante Warehouses, moving southeast brings you toward the Northern Station near the Library POI. |
Because the quest doesn’t care whether you extract, you can safely run it on a low-risk loadout and treat it as a quick objective before switching to more demanding missions. Back at the hideout, turn in with Tian Wen to claim your reward and push her cache-focused questline forward.
The next time you see “search near Su Durante Warehouses,” the path is the same: north-side outskirts, west exterior wall, small crate, and a short walk into the trees toward a half-buried piece of metal that tells the rest of the story.
