Arena Breakout Bodyguard ID Card & Captain ID Card Locations Guide

Hunting for ID cards in Arena Breakout Infinite can feel like searching for a needle in a warzone. The Bodyguard Captain ID Card sits at the center of a pivotal quest, yet the game offers almost no direction on where to look. This guide breaks down every ID card and keycard in the game, with exact locations, acquisition methods, and a step-by-step walkthrough for the Where It All Began quest.

What Is the Bodyguard Captain ID Card?

The Bodyguard Captain ID Card is a quest item tied to the mission "Where It All Began." It belongs to Ajax's former bodyguard captain — a high-ranking member of his personal security detail who kept this card on him at all times. Joel Garrison tasks you with retrieving it from the Farm Motel and delivering it back to him.

Unlike regular keys that open locked rooms, this ID card serves a narrative purpose. You cannot sell it on the market, store it in your container, or use it to unlock any door. Its only function is quest completion.

Where It All Began Quest Walkthrough

The "Where It All Began" quest requires you to enter the Farm map, locate the Bodyguard Captain ID Card at the Motel, and extract with it safely. Here is a step-by-step breakdown.

Step 1: Accept the Quest from Joel Garrison

Open your Contacts tab in the main menu. Scroll to Joel Garrison and look for the "Where It All Began" mission. It typically unlocks after completing several of his earlier Farm-based tasks, such as "Down on the Farm" and "Crash Site." Accept the quest to begin tracking your objective.

Step 2: Prepare Your Loadout

Farm Motel is a high-traffic PvP hotspot with frequent boss spawns. Bring the following:

• Mid-tier armor (T3 or higher) — you will likely encounter both AI and players
• A reliable assault rifle or SMG with AP ammunition
• Motel 201 Key or Motel Main Guest Room Key — optional but helpful for looting
• Medical supplies — at least one AI-2 kit and bandages

Step 3: Enter Farm and Head to the Motel

Deploy into the Farm map. The Motel sits in the central-western portion of the map, recognizable by its two-story L-shaped building and adjacent military tents. Use the treeline from the south or the wheat field from the east for cover as you approach.

Approach routes ranked by safety:

Step 4: Locate the Bodyguard Captain ID Card

The ID card spawns within the Farm Motel area. Based on community reports and quest data, the card can appear in the following locations:

• On the body of a defeated bodyguard — When Ajax and his retinue spawn at the Motel, one of his elite bodyguards carries this card. Kill the bodyguards and check their remains
• Inside searchable containers on the second floor — The 201 room, main guest room, and hallway safes have reported spawn points for quest items
• On the ground near Ajax's patrol route — If Ajax spawns at the Motel, the card may appear in the immediate vicinity of his patrol area

Priority search order:

1. Check the second floor — start with the 201 room and main guest room
2. Search the hallway safe and corridor containers
3. If Ajax is present, eliminate his bodyguards and loot them
4. Sweep the first floor kitchen and counter area
5. Check the exterior military tents

Step 5: Extract and Deliver

Once the ID card is in your inventory, you must extract from Farm with the item still on you. Dying means losing the card and starting over. Choose the closest extraction point:

• South Road Extraction — easiest if you approached from the south
• Grain Trade Center Extraction — safer if you are already on the east side

After extraction, open the Contacts menu, select Joel Garrison, and turn in the quest to receive your rewards.

Ajax Boss Guide: Bodyguard Captain Connection

The Bodyguard Captain ID Card is tied to Ajax, the original Farm map boss.

Spawn Locations:

• Stables (most common)
• Motel (second most common)
• Loading Area (rare)

Spawn rate: ~15% per raid

Retinue: 5 elite bodyguards with modified rifles, armor, and grenades.

Combat Tips:

• Solo: Scout, eliminate bodyguards first, use grenades, target Ajax’s head, loot bodyguards
• Squad: Overwatch player, split angles, focus bodyguards, designate looter

Hecate: Since Season 2, replaces Ajax in some raids. She does not drop the ID card.

Tips for Farming the ID Card Efficiently

Optimal Loadout for Motel Runs:

Spawn & Timing:

• Prefer southern spawn
• Early raid (0–5 min): rush to Motel
• Mid raid (5–15 min): containers may already be looted
• Late raid (15+ min): high risk

Combine the ID card search with other Joel Garrison quests for maximum efficiency.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• ID Card Not Spawning: Ensure the quest is active, Ajax spawned, and check all containers
• Dying Before Extraction: Card does not persist; find it again in a new raid
• Quest Not Appearing: Complete prerequisite Joel Garrison missions
