The Major's Footlocker is a quest in ARC Raiders, given by Tian Wen, to recover Major Aiva's mementos from the apartment complex in Dam Battlegrounds. Tian Wen's mother was one of the soldiers who fought in the Raiders' resistance in the first wave. She's finally got a lead on Major Aiva's mementos and tasks players to retrieve them. There isn't a specific location mentioned in the quest memo, so this guide will point you to the right spot where you can collect the mementos and get the Hullcracker weapon blueprint as a reward from completing the Major's Footlocker in ARC Raiders.

Major Aiva's Mementos Location in ARC Raiders (The Major's Footlocker)

Major Aiva's Mementos Location ARC Raiders

To start The Major's Footlocker quest, players will need to deploy to the Dam Battlegrounds map in ARC Raiders. The area you'll find Major Aiva's Mementos is the Ruby Residence apartment complex, located in the northwest section of the map. These apartment complexes are often camped by hostile raiders, so expect to get into a PvP engagement and try making a proper loadout instead of bringing in a free one.

Ruby Residence ARC Raiders Major's Footlocker

Approach the large red building in the Ruby Residence, and head inside. Watch out for Ticks, as they're commonly found inside the rooms. You'll need to make your way to the apartment on the third floor of the building.

Search Major Aiva's Mementos ARC Raiders Major's Footlocker

Go past the living room with the large windows, and you'll enter the kitchen area with chairs, tables, and a sofa. Turn left and go into the connecting bedroom to find a container sitting on a desk near the window. Interact with the container to find Major Aiva's Mementos inside. Pick the item up and store it in your Safe Pocket to ensure you make it back to Speranza with it.

ARC Raiders Major's Footlocker Complete

Now, find a nearby extraction and head back to Speranza to hand over Major Aiva's Mementos to Tian Wen. This will complete The Major's Footlocker quest in ARC Raiders, and players will receive the Hullcracker weapon blueprint as a reward. This is one of the best weapons that shoots explosive projectiles, which has a very high ARC armor penetration stat. It's the best weapon to use against larger ARC machines like the Leaper, Rocketeer, and even the Queen.

Players will need to upgrade their Gunsmith station to level three and will require 1x Magnetic Accelerator, 1x Exodus Module, and 3x Heavy Gun Parts to craft a Hullcracker in ARC Raiders.
