Quick Answer
Do the Dam Battlegrounds half first: the football goal, Deflated Football and Bicycle Pump are all within a few steps of each other at the Water Towers.
- Photograph the goal against the dome wall.
- Take the Deflated Football from the container directly behind the goalposts.
- Take the Bicycle Pump from the bicycle against the same dome wall.
- In Buried City, check the football-magazine kiosk at Marano Station first; use the northern open newspaper stand.
- Finish in any order and across separate raids, but extract with both physical items.
The League Requirements
You need access to Dam Battlegrounds and Buried City, plus enough inventory protection to bring the Deflated Football and Bicycle Pump home.
- Bring an augment with two safe pockets if possible.
- Do not worry about finishing all four objectives in one raid; progress persists.
- Run the Dam objectives first because they sit away from the busiest routes.
- If you already have a football or pump in your stash, use it for turn-in rather than relying on another field spawn.
Three Objectives in One Spot at the Water Towers
The Water Towers on Dam Battlegrounds let you clear three of the four objectives in one short stop.
- Find the football goal beside the dome wall near the Water Towers and photograph it when the prompt appears.
- Move behind the goalposts and open the metal container there for the Deflated Football.
- Follow the dome wall a few steps to the nearby bicycle and collect the Bicycle Pump.
- Safe pocket both items before leaving the area.
If you are also working nearby Dam objectives, The Major's Footlocker uses Ruby Residence and Espresso can overlap with the same broader map route.
Which Kiosk Has the Football Magazines
Use the northern newspaper kiosk at Marano Station as your first Buried City check for the football magazines.
- Go to Marano Station in Buried City and look for the pair of small white newspaper stands.
- Use the northern open kiosk; the second stand can look valid but may not give the objective.
- Photograph the football magazines when the quest prompt appears inside.
- Check another white kiosk only if the magazines are missing in that raid, because kiosk contents can vary.
If your route pushes you toward Marano Park, expect heavier ARC pressure. Combat Recon and Building a Library both overlap with that area, while Market Correction is the better overlap around Marano Station.
The Backup Bicycle Pump at the Kiosk
Use the Buried City kiosk pump only as a fallback, because the Water Towers pump is faster and sits beside two other objectives.
Search the bicycle immediately outside the kiosk area for the pump interaction. If it is not available, leave rather than spending the raid circling the stand; the Dam Battlegrounds bicycle is the more reliable route.
Where Else to Find a Football or Pump
Residential areas are the best fallback when the Water Towers items are unavailable.
| Map | Fallback area | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Dam Battlegrounds | Pale Apartments | General residential loot |
| Dam Battlegrounds | Ruby Residence | General residential loot |
| Blue Gate | The Village | General residential loot |
| Buried City | Grandioso Apartments | General residential loot |
The League Rewards
The League rewards the Faded Flush colour scheme for the Aviator outfit, so the payoff is cosmetic rather than a progression item.
| Reward | Type | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Faded Flush | Aviator colour scheme | Cosmetic reward |
A Symbol of Unification awards the Aviator outfit itself, while Armored Transports is another Aviator-colour quest.
What Comes After The League
After turning in The League, check Apollo's available quests for your next step.
Use the ARC Raiders quest hub to continue the chain after turn-in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which kiosk has the football magazines?
Check the northern open newspaper kiosk at Marano Station first. If the magazines are absent in that raid, try another white kiosk rather than assuming the objective is broken.
Where is the Deflated Football?
It is in a metal container directly behind the football goalposts at the Water Towers on Dam Battlegrounds.
Can you do The League across multiple raids?
Yes. Objective progress persists between expeditions, so you can split the Dam Battlegrounds and Buried City steps.
Do you need to extract with the football and pump?
Yes. Bring both items back successfully; two safe pockets make the run much safer.
Do magazines spawn in every kiosk?
No. Treat kiosk contents as variable and use the northern Marano Station stand as the first check rather than expecting every kiosk to work.
