The ARC Complex is the sixth level of Doom Eternal. To locate Deag Grav, the final Hell priest, the Doom Slayer must travel to the ARC's headquarters and make contact with Samuel Hayden.

"Having destroyed the Super Gore Nest, the hunt for the remaining Hell Priest continues. Unable to identify his position due to the Khan Maykr's interference, you travel to the ARC Complex, headquarters of the Armored Response Coalition (ARC), in search of Dr. Samuel Hayden, leader of the human resistance on Earth and the only person capable of finding the final Priest."
