The Safe Passage quest in Arc Raiders is a short but surprisingly fun tutorial-style mission that teaches Raiders how to use grenades properly. It’s simple on paper—destroy 2 ARC enemies using explosive grenades—but there are a few tricks that can make this quest much faster (and much safer).
This guide breaks down exactly how to complete the quest quickly, what grenades to use, where to find easy ARC targets, and what rewards you’ll get at the end.
🔥 How to Start the Safe Passage Quest
The quest comes from Apollo, a trader who specializes in gear and explosives.
You’ll find him in the bunker’s trader area, and as usual, he’ll also have some useful inventory for sale.
🎯 Quest Objective
“Destroy 2 ARC enemies using explosive grenades.”
Important details:
- You do NOT need to kill two ARCs with the same grenade.
- Any type of grenade that deals explosive damage counts.
- Any ARC enemy is valid — ground, small drones, indoor bots, whatever.
This means you can pick the easiest targets possible.
💣 The Best Grenade to Use
You can technically use any explosive grenade, but the most beginner-friendly option is:
✅ Light Impact Grenade
- Explodes on impact
- Cheap
- Easy to aim
- Sold directly by Apolo
- Doesn’t require advanced timing or fuse knowledge
Just buy a few of these and you’re good to go.
🗺️ Where to Find Easy ARC Targets
For the fastest clear, head to:
Dam Battlegrounds → Indoor Zones
Some examples:
- Water Treatment
- Administration
- Research
These indoor areas have:
- Ticks
- Pops
- Small ground ARCs
- Tight corridors = easy hits
- Lower risk of Hornets and Bees ruining your day
Look for Yellow or Red hotspots on your map if you want extra reliability.
Just be cautious of other players—Dam Battlegrounds can get spicy.
💥 How to Complete the Quest Fast (PC Tip Included)
- By accepting the quest, you will be granted grenades
- Equip them in your Gear slot
- Load into Dam Battlegrounds
- Locate small indoor ARC enemies
- For PC players:
- Equip your grenade
- Hold Left Mouse Button to preview its arc and landing spot
- Adjust your aim (super useful in tight indoor areas)
- Release to throw
- Repeat once more to destroy a second ARC
- Extract safely
- Return to Apollo for rewards
This little trajectory preview makes impact grenades almost guaranteed hits — especially against Pops, Ticks, and small ground ARCs that rush straight at you.
🎁 Safe Passage Quest Rewards
After completing the quest and reporting back to Apolo, you’ll receive:
- 5× Li’l Smoke Grenade
- 3× Shrapnel Grenade
- 3× Barricade Kit
It’s a great starter pack for learning crowd control, defensive tools, and tactical grenade play.

🧠 Final Thoughts — Why This Quest Matters
Safe Passage is a tiny quest, but it teaches one of the most underrated aspects of Arc Raiders:
grenades are insanely strong when used well.
They help you:
- break ARC swarms
- flush out campers
- destroy indoor drones instantly
- create distance
- block pushes
- control choke points
Learning grenade timing and impact placement early gives you a real edge, especially on maps like Blue Gate or Dam Battlegrounds, where close-quarters fights happen constantly.
Use this quest as your warm-up. Grenade mastery will save your life more than once in this game.
