In ARC Raiders, scavenging isn't something you do on the way to the "real" objective—it is the objective, and The League quest leans into that hard. If you've been hoovering up ARC Raiders Items and learning which fights to take and which to dodge, this mission will feel familiar: quick stops, awkward sightlines, and the constant worry that an ARC patrol is about to wander in at the worst moment. You're chasing leftovers from an old football league: a Deflated Football, a Bicycle Pump, and two photos Apollo wants as proof you were actually there.

Stop one: Dam Battlegrounds essentials

Head to the Dam Battlegrounds and make the Water Towers your first anchor point. The Deflated Football isn't a random drop, thank goodness. It's sitting in a quest container near the base of one of the towers, and it's a guaranteed spawn, so you're not stuck opening every box in the area like a mug. Still, don't hang around. That ground is wide open, and it's easy to get watched from a distance. While you're there, knock out the first photo objective: the rusted goal post nearby. Get close enough that it fills the frame, snap it, and move on before something big decides you're worth the ammo.

Finding the Bicycle Pump without losing your mind

The Bicycle Pump is the part that can drag, because it's just loot. No marker. No "always here" container. You'll usually pull it from toolboxes, maintenance cupboards, garages, or those back-room storage spots players tend to skip when they're sprinting for exits. Since you're going to the Buried City anyway, it makes sense to do your searching there. More buildings, more containers, more chances. I'd keep a simple rhythm: clear a short block, hit every toolbox-looking container, then rotate. Don't overcommit to one building if you hear machinery nearby—people get stubborn, and that's when they die.

Photo two: kiosks and old magazines

The second photo is in the Buried City, and it's easier than it sounds once you know what "kiosk" means in-game. Look for the small stand-like shops that feel like they used to sell papers and snacks. Inside, you're after the football magazines. You don't need an artsy angle—just make sure the magazines are clearly in view and the camera registers it. The Buried City punishes loitering, though. It's cramped, lines of sight break fast, and fights start because someone heard a door or a reload. Take the shot, check your route, and keep moving.

Cash it in and leave clean

Once you've got the football, the pump, and both photos, don't try to "make the run worth it" by squeezing in extra looting—this is where players throw away a completed quest. Extract, get back to Apollo, and turn everything in for the Aviator Outfit (Faded Flush) plus Tagging Grenades and Firecrackers. The tagging grenades are the real prize; being able to mark targets makes messy fights feel manageable, especially if your squad's calling targets on the fly. If you're short on crafting basics afterward, it's a good time to top up on ARC Raiders Common Material before you queue again so you're not forced into risky detours next run.
