The trader Apollo is calling a rescue play, and your squad is up. Following the completion of the Switching The Supply quest, Apollo tasks you with A Warm Place To Rest, an objective that requires you to push deep into enemy territory to locate a missing family.
Here is the bottom line: You are dropping into the Buried City map for a massive cross-field drive. The standard playbook asks you to slowly track the missing civilians across the entire zone. However, if you want to speed up the clock and secure your rewards efficiently, we have scouted an audible that lets you skip the tedious tracking phase and rush straight to the end zone.
Here is your complete tactical breakdown for completing the quest.
Pre-Game Prep: Drafting Your Loadout
Before you leave Speranza, check your gear. You will be trekking across the entirety of the Buried City map. A free, bare-bones loadout is a massive risk here. You are highly likely to draw heavy coverage from both AI ARC enemies and rival raiders.
Draft a solid primary weapon and stack your inventory with premium healing items to ensure you can sustain a long, grinding drive down the field.

The Play-by-Play: Running the Route
Phase 1: The Line of Scrimmage (The Abandoned Highway Camp)
Your first objective is establishing field position. Drop into Buried City and route yourself just southeast of the Grandioso Apartments. You are looking for the Abandoned Highway Camp. You will know you are in the right zone when you spot a defensive cluster of old, rusted buses blocking the roadway.
Phase 2: Finding the Fumble (Signs of Survivors)
Once you hit the bus barricade, the game will prompt you to search for signs of life. Sweep the perimeter of the buses. You are looking for a dropped pack lying in the sand next to one of the vehicle’s tires. Interact with this pack to trigger the next phase of the quest.

Phase 3: Calling the Audible (Skipping the Red Markers)
Once you interact with the pack, the game will ask you to follow a trail of red markers in the sand. Do not run this route. Following the markers is a tedious, drawn-out process that leaves you exposed to sniper fire and roaming ARCs.
Instead, call an audible. The final destination is a static location. From the buses, completely ignore the red markers and sprint directly to the far eastern side of the map toward the Buried Properties.
Phase 4: The End Zone (Inspect the Grave)
When you reach the Buried Properties on the eastern edge, push into the rubble of the destroyed buildings. Amidst the concrete and debris, you will find a makeshift grave. Simply walk up and inspect the grave to officially log the completion of the objective.
Tactical Note: You do not need to successfully extract from the raid to secure credit for this quest. Once you interact with the grave, the objective is locked in.
