How to complete Greasing Her Palms in ARC Raiders

Some quests in **ARC Raiders** can be straightforward, while others, like *Greasing Her Palms*, may take a bit more time and effort to complete. This particular quest requires you to complete three objectives across three different maps, and none of the locations are explicitly marked. To help you out, we’ve gathered everything you need to know about completing *Greasing Her Palms*.

### How to Complete the *Greasing Her Palms* Quest in ARC Raiders

To finish *Greasing Her Palms*, you’ll need to visit three maps: the **Dam**, the **Buried City**, and the **Spaceport**. Each location requires you to go to a specific area, but the descriptions are quite vague. The trickiest task is to “scope out the rocket thrusters” on the Spaceport map, so let’s start there.

### Where to Find the Rocket Thrusters on Spaceport

The rocket thrusters you need to inspect are located about 150 meters southwest of the **Rocket Assembly** point of interest. These thrusters are the furthest ones from the Rocket Assembly building, situated closer to **Control Tower A6** and **Container Storage**.

Look for the southwesternmost thruster lying on its side within some large mechanical braces. If you approach from the east, you should see another derelict thruster behind you and the Control Tower A6 building to your right.

To complete this step, simply walk up and stay near this specific thruster for a few seconds. There’s no need to survive the raid—once you reach it alive, this part of the quest is complete.

### Where to Find the Locked Room in Water Treatment Control on Dam Battlegrounds

This step, along with the final objective, carries a higher PvP risk because **Water Treatment Control** is a central area often contested by players due to its valuable loot.

To find the locked room:

1. Enter the main level of Water Treatment (do **not** go onto the roof).
2. Head through the door located on the southern wall.
3. Continue down the hallway, eliminating any ARC enemies you encounter.
4. Use the **Dam Surveillance Key** to open the locked door at the end of the hall.

Make sure you bring the Dam Surveillance Key with you. Keep it in your Safe Pocket to avoid losing it if you die en route—losing this key means having to find another one in the wild, which can be time-consuming.

Opening this locked door completes the quest step. The loot inside is generous and includes rare item lockers, electronics spawns, and even a weapons case, so it’s well worth the risk.

### Where to Find the Barricaded Area on Floor 6 of the Space Travel Building on Buried City

This final step takes you to the **Space Travel Building** in the Buried City, a hotspot for high-value loot and intense PvP action. Be prepared and gear up for PvP before heading in.

One safer approach is to access the Space Travel Building via a platform connecting from the **Parking Garage** to the northeast. This route offers plenty of cover and escape options, allowing you to assess the activity level in the objective zone.

Once inside, head to the northwestern section of the building to find the stairs leading up to the sixth floor. Proceed east along the main hallway until you reach the barricaded door. Pass through this door, and the quest step will complete as soon as you cross the threshold.

### Turning in the Quest

After completing all three steps, return to **Celeste** at **Speranza** to turn in *Greasing Her Palms* and collect your reward.

By following this guide, you can navigate the ambiguous instructions of *Greasing Her Palms* with ease and claim the rewards without unnecessary frustration. Good luck out there, Raiders!

Family of Shah Bano SLAMS Haq makers for ‘distorting facts’, alleges invasion of privacy: “If the film is based only on the case, then…”

Jubair Ahmad Khan, grandson of Shah Bano Begum, has expressed strong objections to the upcoming film *Haq*, which is based on the landmark 1985 Supreme Court case Mohd Ahmed Khan vs Shah Bano Begum.

Speaking to ANI, Jubair alleged that the film was made without the consent of Shah Bano’s family and claimed that the teaser ‘distorts’ several facts, infringing on the family’s right to privacy.

### Family Slams *Haq* Makers for ‘Distorting Facts’

The family of Shah Bano has slammed the makers of *Haq*, accusing them of distorting facts and invading their privacy. Jubair stated, “If the film is based only on the case, then…” — implying discrepancies in the film’s portrayal.

Shah Bano, whose legal battle brought significant changes to maintenance laws for divorced Muslim women, remains a deeply personal figure for her family. Jubair criticized the filmmakers for allegedly commercializing the family’s private struggles without seeking permission.

“Anything that happens affects us as a family. They didn’t ask us anything,” he said.

### Allegations of Distortion and Privacy Invasion

Jubair pointed out discrepancies in the teaser, adding, “A lot of facts in the teaser are distorted. It is our private matter that has been given a commercial angle. Common people watching the movie will think it shows true events, but it does not.”

In response to a legal petition filed by his mother, Siddiqua Begum Khan, seeking a stay on the release of *Haq*, the film’s producer’s lawyer Ajay Bagadiya said that the film includes a disclaimer clarifying it is inspired by the Supreme Court judgment and a book titled *Bano, Bharat ki Beti*.

Bagadiya emphasized that the film is a fictionalized portrayal and is not obliged to present events factually. He also questioned the legitimacy of the petitioner’s claim of being Shah Bano’s daughter, stating that there is no confirmation.

### Family Challenges the Film’s Portrayal

Jubair contested the producer’s defense, highlighting that the teaser conflicts with the stated basis of the film. He noted that while the book focuses on the Supreme Court case, the film includes broader aspects of Shah Bano’s life not covered by the case law.

“If the film is based only on the case, then it should show the court proceedings. But in the teaser and trailer, you can see it is completely different from the true event,” he explained.

Previously, the family issued a legal notice urging the filmmakers to halt all publication, screening, promotion, and release activities for *Haq*. They accused the makers of unauthorized use of personal life details.

### About the Film *Haq*

*Haq*, set to release on November 7, 2025, stars Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam. The film is directed by Suparn S. Verma and produced under the banner of Junglee Pictures.

Yami Gautam Dhar has previously commented on the film, stating, “It is not a biopic, but it is inspired by the powerful journey of Shah Bano.”

SHOCK VIDEO: Rome Medieval Tower Partially Collapses During Renovation Works – Rescuers Frantically Trying to Save Worker Who Remains Trapped Under the Rubble

Shock and drama unfolded today as a worker remained trapped under the partially collapsed Torre dei Conti in the heart of Rome. The medieval tower, located near the world-famous Colosseum ruins, suffered structural collapse during ongoing renovation work.

One worker was critically injured, while another became trapped beneath the rubble, prompting a dramatic and complex rescue operation.

The Torre dei Conti, built in the 13th century by Pope Innocent III as a residence for his family, has a long and troubled history. It was previously damaged in a 1349 earthquake and endured subsequent collapses in the 17th century.

Firefighters have been working non-stop to rescue the trapped worker, who has now been beneath the rubble for several hours. According to the Associated Press, rescuers faced significant difficulties as the unstable structure continued to shift. Efforts to reach the worker through a first-floor window were repeatedly forced to retreat due to falling debris and a cloud of smoke.

Attempts to access the worker via two ladders were also aborted, leading the team to deploy a drone to assess the situation safely. As dusk approached, firefighters used a crane and giant suction tubes to remove rubble from the tower’s second-floor window in hopes of reaching the trapped individual.

Earlier in the rescue operation, three workers were successfully rescued unharmed, while one remains hospitalized in critical condition.

Rome’s top law enforcement official, Prefect Lamberto Giannini, provided an update on the situation: “There are signs of life from the trapped worker. Firefighters managed to provide some protective cover during an earlier rescue attempt.” He described the operation as “very complex,” noting that additional equipment was being brought in.

Giannini emphasized the difficulty and risks involved: “It will be a very long operation. We must try to save this person while mitigating the enormous risks to the people who are trying to save him.”

The rescue mission continues, with hope that the trapped operator under the rubble of the Torre dei Conti will be safely recovered.

Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.

Neglected kitten ignored during rain storm by owners, neighbor rescues her from the cold and considers adopting her furrever: ‘My heart breaks at the thought of that sweet little baby outside in the cold and the rain 24/7’

Cats are incredibly adaptive animals. They truly seem to have nine lives, and their nimble athleticism helps them handle almost any situation they find themselves in.

That being said, there are obvious signs when an animal is being neglected. Sometimes, when you see a parent mistreating their child, you might wonder, “Why did they even have kids?” But what can be even more confusing is witnessing someone treat their pet poorly.

Owning a cat comes with a basic level of responsibility. If an owner isn’t prepared to handle the tasks involved—such as keeping the cat indoors for its safety—then they shouldn’t get a pet at all.

Take the story below as a public service announcement against animal neglect. The protagonist is a woman who has neighbors that own several cats. They adopted a few cats, but all of them live entirely outdoors. This already raises the question: why did they adopt these cats in the first place?

After seeing one of their new kittens left outside in the rain, she decided to take the kitten in and care for it herself.

‘Battling Between Good and Evil’: Ex-Wife of DMX on Marriage, Struggles, and the Day She Met Jesus

Tashera Draughn met Earl Simmons when she was just 11 years old. She dated him for 10 years before marrying the man who would later gain fame as rapper DMX.

During a recent conversation with CBN, Tashera shared about her marriage to the hip hop legend.

“This was always his dream. He knew that he was gifted with his talent, which I didn’t really see it for what it was until it actually, really happened. But he said, ‘This is how we going to make it out the hood,’” Tashera said.

She recalled how married life started off easily, then turned into a nightmare after DMX’s meteoric rise in the music world.

“In an industry where it is the devil’s playground, where morals and values are out the window, I watched my best friend gain the world,” she explained.

It is widely known that DMX struggled with drug addiction, which led to legal battles and multiple stints behind bars. Later in his career, the Grammy-nominated rapper, who often spoke about God, began to incorporate his love for God into his lyrics. During the COVID-19 pandemic, DMX used social media to lead thousands in a Bible study and pray for salvation.

“He’s the one who introduced me to Christ,” Tashera explained. “I knew that he knew he was being used for Christ. But I saw the constant fight he was battling. He was battling between good and evil.”

That evil included the pain of marital infidelity and abuse.

“To be totally transparent, I was lost,” said Tashera. “I lost myself. I lost my soul in that marriage. If it wasn’t for my oldest son saying that one day, he said, ‘If the next time I see my father and hear him abusing you verbally, I’m going to kill him.’”

Those words from 14-year-old Xavier served as a wake-up call for Tashera to take her family and leave.

“I saw the look in his eyes and I realized that if you’re not going to do it for yourself, Shera, you have to do it for your children,” Tashera said.

In 2025, while separated from her husband, Tashera, who grew up a Muslim, said she experienced a spiritual encounter that set her on a new path.

“I didn’t know Jesus the way I should have, so I was in the closet,” she explained. “Things were going really bad. It was going really left, and I cried the hardest cry. I mean, it was from my soul. It was from my spirit. I did not know what else to do. I felt warmth, a peace that I’ve never ever experienced before. And at the time, it was scary. But when I had to replay it, it was Jesus because I was crying out, ‘If You were real, You would come see me. You would show me Your love. This is not what You say You’re about.’ And that’s what I was saying in that moment, and then He came.”

The experience is just one of many Tashera shares in her latest book, *Dying to Self*, which outlines her transformative journey.

“The industry that I was birthed in is the devil’s playground, and there’s so many women and men out there that they think they know, but they have no idea. And I felt like it was time. I owed it to Jesus to let the world know that, had it not been for Him on my side, I don’t know where I would be,” Tashera said.

In 2014, Tashera and Earl divorced, and on April 9, 2021, at the age of 50, DMX died after suffering a heart attack. At his funeral, Tashera shared about the love God had for Earl and his sincere desire to serve Christ.

Today, Tashera is on a mission to share the healing and hope she has found.

“Jesus Christ is love. I mean, that’s the only way I could really fully say it, because I didn’t know what love was until I found His love, His unconditional love, the love that when I mess up, when I make mistakes, when I get distracted, He’s still sitting there.”

It is a love that has made a strong impact on Tashera and Earl’s children, who experienced their own challenges growing up in the home of the late rapper. Her youngest son Sean was recently baptized after committing his life to Christ.

“Our Godly Father has picked them up and turned their lives around. And they don’t have depression anymore. They don’t cut anymore. They don’t feel abandoned anymore because of the love of Jesus Christ.”

Mark Henry reveals he used to exchange Christmas cards with a surprising legend

Mark Henry has been a prominent figure in the wrestling industry for a very long time. Recently, he revealed an interesting piece of his past—that he used to exchange Christmas cards with a surprising legend.

Before Mark Henry became known as the “Hall of Pain” and went on a dominant rampage in WWE, he was recognized for his comedic talents. He participated in many funny and memorable skits alongside several stars, including the legendary Mae Young. These moments not only showcased Henry’s personality but also helped prepare him for his eventual role as a main event player.

During this comedic phase of his career, Henry also appeared in a few entertaining segments with Paul Reubens, the actor famously known for portraying the iconic character Pee Wee Herman. Recently, the WWE Hall of Famer took to social media to share that he and Reubens used to exchange Christmas cards, until Paul Reubens became too ill to continue sending them back.

Henry tweeted,
“I wasn’t always just Hall of Pain. I could do comedy with the best of them and Pee Wee Herman was very cool. We would send Christmas cards until he got too sick to send them back!”

### Mark Henry Feels Disrespected by AEW

After leaving WWE, Mark Henry joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he embraced multiple roles such as coach, talent scout, mentor, commentator, and more. He remained with Tony Khan’s promotion until last year and served as a strong influence on many of the company’s wrestlers.

One notable example is Powerhouse Hobbs, who currently uses a version of Henry’s signature finisher, the World’s Strongest Slam—though AEW has renamed the move to the “Most Dangerous Slam.”

Speaking on *Busted Open Radio*, the WWE legend expressed his displeasure over AEW’s decision to rename his finisher. He said he felt disrespected by the move, making his feelings crystal clear:

> “They called it the Most Dangerous Slam. They don’t call it the World’s Strongest Slam. They’re like, ‘F*** Mark Henry.’ F*** you, how about that? That’s to whose decision that is [to rename the slam]. You cannot disrespect me and expect me to kiss your a** about it. I’m not gonna do it. I’d rather be fired or kicked off the air before I let somebody feel like they all got power over me.”

It remains to be seen what the future holds for the “World’s Strongest Man.” For now, Mark Henry continues to be a respected and influential figure in the world of professional wrestling.

New Mexico man allegedly kills mother, stores dismembered remains in home freezer for weeks: Report

An Albuquerque, New Mexico man has been arrested on charges of allegedly killing and dismembering his mother before placing her remains in a freezer, according to reports.

Court records show 49-year-old Leroy Vallejos was booked into the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center on Wednesday. He faces charges including first-degree murder, battery, battery of a household member, and tampering with evidence. Vallejos is currently being held under preventative detention.

The Albuquerque Police Department reported that Vallejos admitted to choking his 69-year-old mother, Ernestina Lucero, to death nearly three weeks ago, KRQE Albuquerque reported. Police further revealed that Vallejos claimed his mother was part of a “group of people giving their lives to darkness” who were conspiring against him.

Officers conducted a welfare check at Lucero’s home last Tuesday after Vallejos informed a healthcare company that his mother had been missing for about a week. He had contacted the company to request payment for her care despite not having seen her recently. During the welfare check, Vallejos allowed officers inside and told them his mother had gone to Mexico. However, officers found Lucero’s prescriptions still in her bedroom.

One officer reportedly found garbage bags inside a large freezer, which were later determined to contain the remains of a female, according to the station. This discovery prompted a more thorough search of the home, where officers found a saw with what appeared to be dried blood stains under a sink.

Prior to the welfare check, another family member had reported Lucero missing, leading the police department to issue a missing person bulletin on October 23 and begin an investigation. Preliminary findings indicated that Vallejos had allegedly withdrawn money from his mother’s bank account, and her vehicle had been sold before she was reported missing.

The investigation remains ongoing as authorities continue to gather evidence in this disturbing case.
