The Clean Dream quest is one of ARC Raiders more involved missions, sending you across two separate maps and into some of the game’s busiest underground areas. At first glance it feels intimidating, but once you understand the layout and objectives, this quest is surprisingly efficient. With good routing and a bit of awareness, you can realistically finish it in just two raids.
Preparing for the Dream Quest
Before starting, it is recommended to use a free or low-tier loadout from your stash. There are no required boss fights or mandatory enemy encounters, so bringing expensive gear only increases risk with no real benefit.
You will complete the quest in two separate raids:
First raid on Spaceport
Second raid on Blue Gate
Once ready, deploy to the Spaceport map to begin the first phase.
Southwest tunnel entrance point
Spaceport Phase: The Underground Tunnels
Your first objective takes place in the underground tunnel system beneath the Launch Tower on the Spaceport map.
The easiest and safest way to access the tunnels is through the collapsed entrance southwest of the Launch Tower. This entrance places you close to both required objectives and minimizes travel time.
To avoid getting lost underground, toggle the map layers using the map key. This allows you to clearly see tunnel paths and intersections.
Searching Containers
After entering the tunnels, you must search four containers. A container is considered any standard lootable storage object found in the tunnels, such as lockers, tool cupboards, wall panels, or breachable boxes. You do not need to take items from these containers. Simply opening them is enough to progress the objective.
One important detail is that containers already looted by other players still count. This allows you to complete the requirement even in heavily trafficked areas without competing for fresh loot. Enemy bodies and AI carcasses do not count and should be ignored for this step.

Monitoring the Filtration System
After searching four containers, your next objective is to monitor a Filtration System.
Filtration Systems are green, wall-mounted units found throughout the tunnel network. One of the easiest ones to access is located near the collapsed tunnel entrance, close to the valve used in the Power Out quest.
To complete this step:
Interact with the Filtration System
Hold the interaction prompt for about 10 seconds
Wait for the objective to complete
Any Filtration System in the tunnels will work, so you are not limited to a single location. After monitoring the system, extract from Spaceport and return to Speranza to report back to Apollo.
Blue Gate Phase: Maintenance Bunker
The second half of the Dream Quest takes place on the Blue Gate map.
Head to the southeastern area of the map near the Checkpoint point of interest. The Maintenance Bunker entrance appears near the “N” in the word “Maintenance” on the map overlay.
You will see a small surface structure with the bunker entrance directly in front of it. There are multiple entry routes, but the main entrance near the building is the most direct and safest option.
Be cautious in this area, as Blue Gate often has higher player traffic.

Monitoring the Purification System
Once inside the bunker, descend into the main room. You will immediately see large cylindrical Purification Systems.
To complete this objective:
Walk up to one of the cylinders
Interact and hold the prompt for 5 to 10 seconds
Wait for the objective update
This completes the first task inside the bunker.

Photographing the Blueprints
After monitoring the Purification System, head back up to the walkway level above the main room. From there, follow the walkway and enter the small side room that contains lockers and a Security Breach point. On the desk inside this room, you will find glowing blueprints.
Interacting with the blueprints will automatically complete the Dream Quest. If you entered the walkway from a different staircase, look for a door along the walkway. The blueprint room is located just inside and to the left.
Extracting After Completion
Once the blueprints have been photographed, the quest is fully complete. An extraction point is located just outside the Maintenance Bunker, allowing for a fast and safe exit if it is available. Using this extraction point helps avoid unnecessary travel and reduces the risk of running into other raiders.
After extracting, return to Speranza and speak with Apollo to officially turn in the quest.
