Bilguun's Hideout Spaceport Location and Tactical Quest Walkthrough

Navigating the vertical ruins of the Spaceport in ARC Raiders requires more than just decent aim; it demands a keen eye for environmental detail. One of the most common stumbling blocks for Raiders early in their career is locating Bilguun's Hideout. This specific point of interest is the final objective of the "What We Left Behind" quest issued by the trader Tian Wen. While the quest marker gives you a general area, the hideout’s clever integration into the massive industrial architecture of the Spaceport makes it easy to miss, often resulting in players wandering into sniper lanes or ARC patrol paths.

Completing this mission is essential for unlocking high-tier weapon attachments that significantly reduce recoil and improve stability. This guide breaks down the precise pathing to Bilguun's Hideout and provides a comprehensive look at the entire "What We Left Behind" quest chain.

The "What We Left Behind" Quest Context

Before dropping into the Spaceport, ensure the quest "What We Left Behind" is active in your log. Tian Wen tasks you with recovering remnants of past scavengers across three distinct regions. While you can tackle these in any order, the Spaceport objective is widely considered the most dangerous due to the map's layout.

The quest objectives include:

1. Buried City: Search two containers in the Raider Camp beneath the Parking Garage.
2. Dam Battlegrounds: Search the South Swamp Outpost for significant loot.
3. Spaceport: Locate Bilguun’s Hideout near the Container Storage and secure the intel.

Finding Bilguun's Hideout in Spaceport

The Spaceport is a sprawling map defined by its verticality and long sightlines. To find the hideout, you must navigate toward the Container Storage area, a major Point of Interest (POI) located in the central-eastern portion of the map.

Precise Coordinates and Landmarks

Bilguun’s Hideout is not a standalone building but a makeshift structure—essentially a reinforced shipping container or van-like module—bolted directly onto a massive concrete boundary wall.

• The Primary Landmark: Look for the giant, collapsed ring structure that dominates the skyline of the Spaceport. The hideout is situated on the eastern side of the massive wall that serves as a perimeter for the Container Storage yard.
• Visual Cues: Search for a bright yellow ladder attached to the concrete wall. This ladder is the primary access point from the ground level.
• Alternative Access: If the area near the ladder is being camped, you can move further south along the wall until you find a section of rubble and broken concrete. You can parkour up these ruins and traverse the upper ledge to reach the hideout entrance.

Entering the Hideout

Once you climb the ladder or navigate the broken walkway, you will find a small, cramped interior. Unlike other high-tier loot locations, Bilguun’s Hideout is typically sparse. You aren't here for the scrap; you are here for the scattered notes found on the floor near an old trolley or workbench. Interacting with these notes will trigger the quest update.

Tactical Analysis: Surviving the Spaceport

The area surrounding Container Storage is a notorious "hot zone." Because Bilguun’s Hideout is a fixed quest objective, experienced players often set up overwatch positions on the surrounding rooftops to pick off unsuspecting Raiders.

Sniper Awareness

The rooftops of the primary Container Storage buildings offer clear lines of sight directly onto the ladder leading to the hideout. When approaching:

• Hug the Outer Wall: Use the curvature of the terrain and the massive wall itself to stay out of sight from the central yard.
• Smoke Utility: If you suspect a sniper is watching, pop a smoke grenade at the base of the ladder before climbing. The climbing animation leaves you vulnerable for several seconds.
• Listen for ARC Units: This area is frequently patrolled by ARC bots. Their mechanical whirring can mask the footsteps of rival players, so maintain high situational awareness.

Gear Recommendations for this Run

Since this mission requires visiting three different maps, survival is the priority over heavy looting.

• Mobility Focus: Use a loadout that favors stamina and movement speed. Getting to the hideout and then to an extraction point quickly reduces your window of vulnerability.
• Medium-Range Optics: You will need to scout the rooftops of the Container Storage before approaching the wall. A 2x or 4x optic is vital for identifying campers.
• Free Loadout Strategy: If you have struggled with this quest, consider going in with a "Free Loadout." Since the quest progress saves once you interact with the notes (though you still need to extract to finalize the raid), risking high-end gear isn't always necessary for this specific scouting mission.

The Complete Quest Chain: Buried City and Dam Battlegrounds

To finish "What We Left Behind," you must also visit two other maps. If the Spaceport was your first stop, here is what you need to do next.

The Raider Camp (Buried City)

Located in the northwestern sector of the Buried City, the Parking Garage is your target.

1. The Breach: Locate the door labeled "01" on the ground floor. This is a breachable door. Use a breach charge or follow a teammate who has one.
2. The Descent: Behind the door is a zipline leading to a basement level—the Raider Camp.
3. The Loot: You must open any two containers within this camp. Be warned: the AI resistance here is dense. Carry at least two healing items and be prepared for close-quarters combat.

South Swamp Outpost (Dam Battlegrounds)

This is generally the easiest of the three objectives, located on the western side of the Dam Battlegrounds map.

1. The Silo: Look for a large, weathered tower or silo structure made of corrugated metal.
2. The Item: Inside the main circular room of this structure, look for a yellow-glowing item on a stack of papers. Interacting with this completes the "Significant Loot" requirement for this region.

Quest Completion and Rewards

Once all three objectives are checked off—the Raider Camp containers, the Swamp Outpost intel, and Bilguun’s Hideout notes—you must extract successfully. If you die before reaching the extraction elevator or ship, you may need to re-run the specific map where the objective was lost, though often quest progress on items collected persists if the "Quest Item" was secured.

Return to Speranza and speak with Tian Wen to turn in the mission. The rewards are significant for mid-game progression:

Troubleshooting Common Issues

The Notes are Not Spawning

If you reach Bilguun’s Hideout and the notes are missing, it is likely due to an instance bug or the quest not being properly tracked.

• Verify Quest Log: Ensure "What We Left Behind" is the active tracked quest.
• Instance Cycling: Extract from the map and redeploy. This resets the world state and usually forces the quest items to spawn.
• Check Earlier Objectives: Ensure you have at least visited the previous maps if the quest flow requires a specific order (though typically these can be done non-linearly).

Extraction Failure

If you find the hideout but fail to extract, check your quest log. In many cases, the "Search Bilguun's Hideout" objective will remain checked as long as you interacted with the item. However, you must eventually have a successful extraction to talk to the vendor and claim the attachments.

Final Tactical Summary

Bilguun's Hideout is a test of a Raider’s ability to read the environment. By focusing on the eastern wall of the Container Storage and utilizing the yellow ladder while maintaining a high alert for snipers, you can clear this objective with minimal friction. The rewards—the Tier II stability attachments—will fundamentally change the feel of your primary weapons, making the trek through the Spaceport well worth the risk.
