You are struggling with basic instructions. Typical. This ARC Raiders Line in the Sand guide exists because you cannot read a map. The main objective is to uncover the mystery of the Marano Station train delay, assuming you even care about the lore. Stop wandering aimlessly. Your first task is to visit Barrett City. Do not get distracted; find the Barrett City abandoned train car directly on your map.
Look for the structure resembling a rusty jungle gym near the train. Climb it, rummage through the bush like an animal, and retrieve the Morano Market business card. Put it in your safe pocket immediately so your inevitable death does not cost you the item. The card dictates your next step: go to the market. Since there is no giant marker holding your hand, head near the market ruins building and enter it.
You are barely halfway there. Your ultimate goal here is to locate where the thruster valves were stashed. It is almost as if you are playing detective. Next, trudge to the extreme northern edge of the map. Go inside the designated structure, take the northern map zipline down into the abyss, and interact with the boxes. This sequence reveals exactly who orchestrated the robbery.
If you want the complete picture, you must also search the merchant's nearby apartment basement. Finally, leave the map. Immediately. There is a notorious ARC Raiders extraction bug that unchecks your quest progress if you dally or exit improperly. Extract safely, or enjoy doing this tedious chore a second time.

Hidden in a bush on a climbable structure near the Barrett City train car. Go look.
You forgot to place it in your safe pocket before dying. A truly amateur mistake.
It lacks a map marker. Go to the market ruins and enter the main building.
Take the zipline in the northern building, touch the boxes, and extract. Do it quickly.
A known bug erases progress if you fail to extract properly. Survive the run, obviously.
