If you’ve been wandering around the Buried City trying to figure out where the A Warm Place to Rest quest actually wants you to go, you’re definitely not alone, and the game doesn’t make things clearer when it tells you to “follow the red markers.” That’s vague, especially when you’re getting peppered with fire from every direction, and it’s easy to drift off‑route. Once you know the exact landmarks, though, the run becomes pretty straightforward, a bit like picking up a forgotten ARC Raiders BluePrint while sprinting through a hot zone.

Finding the Starting Point

Before anything else, you need to reach the Abandoned Highway Camp in the southwest. A lot of players stop too early, so push right to the southern tip of the big bridge. Two rusted buses sit there, and the yellow backpack beside the left one is what kicks off the marker trail. It’s easy to overlook because you might be busy clearing bots, but once you interact with it, the quest finally starts behaving like an actual objective.

Following the Red Trail

The red markers stretch out a lot longer than you might expect. You’ll be jogging northeast along the bridge for a good minute, and at some point the road just… drops away. Keep going. Ignore any POI pop‑ups trying to pull your attention off the route. When the bridge dissolves into sand, angle yourself toward the southeast side of the Buried Properties area. The shift in terrain helps, but it’s still easy to drift off‑path if you’re moving fast or dodging fire.

Key Landmarks to Stay on Track

Players often lose the trail here, mostly because the markers get spaced out. Look for a curved metal sheet poking from the ground, then swing north toward a satellite dish stuck on a broken chunk of bridge. Once you spot the building with the green shutters, you’re on track. Pass it, then cut right as soon as you hit the dunes again. Slightly uphill, a set of crumbling walls comes into view. Step inside and the quest will update, letting you know you’re close.

Inside those walls, check the southeast corner for a small grave marked with a stick wrapped in red string. Interact with it and the quest completes instantly, and you don’t even need to extract for the game to save your progress, which is a relief if things go sideways. It feels like a long trek the first time, but once you know each landmark, it becomes a quick run—almost as quick as grabbing an ARC Raiders BluePrint for sale mid‑mission without breaking stride.
