Some ARC Raiders quests send you sprinting across the map. This one is gentler, but it still has a couple of traps that can waste a run. Here’s a quick, no-fluff guide to getting through Someone Else’s Shoes in a single raid.

What This Quest Asks You to Do?
Someone Else’s Shoes is a short, fairly straightforward mission set in Stella Montis, and it asks you to complete three tasks. It unlocks after you turn in Home to Roost, the previous step in Celeste’s questline, so make sure that one is handed in to Shani first. The reward includes 5,000 XP plus a few extras.

| Best tip | Only living Androids can be scanned |
Objective 1: Scan Any Android
Your first task is to scan any Android on Stella Montis, and the spawn is random, so luck plays a part. The trick is to look for a faint blue light flickering in an Android’s eyes. That means it’s still alive. Dead Androids won’t give you the chance to scan them completely, so don’t waste time on those. If one doesn’t turn up quickly, check several spots before leaving.
Objective 2: Find the Android in Research Lab 3
Head to the third Research Lab in the Medical Bay. You’ll find an Android strapped to a bed, and when you get close you’ll get the chance to scan it. Since this is the Medical Research building, it’s also a decent place to begin the quest, so you can often knock out two objectives in one trip. Expect other raiders to share your idea, so keep your ears open.
Objective 3: Search the Control Room
The final task takes you to the Control Room in the Western Tunnels, where you’ll find a set of consoles with loot on them, assuming nobody has grabbed it already. Interact with the right console to retrieve the footage, and the quest concludes. Then you just need to extract safely to bank your reward.
A Few Practical Tips
Bring a modest loadout, because quests like this are about efficiency, not looting. Move in short hops between buildings, and check corners before entering because Stella Montis can be unforgiving when you’re distracted by terminals. If you’re playing solo, matchmaking with a partner makes the console section far less stressful.
