The High-Gain Antenna is a new player project in Arc Raiders, introduced in the Flashpoint update. Similar to the Trophy Display project, you’ll need to collect various items, including some new materials, to build your own Arc-detecting machine.
With Shredders on the run from Stella Montis, Assessors launching new operations, and the introduction of Vaporizers—whose name reflects their deadly nature—the Arc are clearly ramping up their activities. Now is the perfect time to get a better look at the topside.
The High-Gain Antenna project consists of three stages, each requiring different resources and items. While it may be shorter than other projects like the Weather Monitor, gathering the necessary materials will still take considerable time. Remember, you can start collecting items for later stages and stash them for future use.
Given the scarcity and quantity of Arc materials needed, I suggest utilizing the Close Scrutiny map condition. This boosts the loot drop for Arc materials and spawns high-tier machines like Surveyors and Vaporizers.
Here are the three stages, their required materials, and the rewards:
|
Required Item |
Where to find it |
|---|---|
|
50x Arc Alloy |
A basic material found by scavenging any Arc machine or recycling Arc materials. |
|
10x Arc Flex Rubber |
A rare material found by looting high-tier Arcs like Bastions, Bombardiers, Leapers, and Sentinels. |
|
10x Arc Performance Steel |
A rare material found by looting high-tier Arcs like Bastions, Bombardiers, Leapers, Sentinels, Hornets, and Surveyors. |
|
15x Advanced Arc Powercell |
A rare material found by looting high-tier Arcs like Comets, Bastions, Bombardiers, Leapers, Sentinels, Hornets, and Surveyors. |
Reward: 1x Torrente II, 1x Extended Medium Mag III, 1x Extended Barrel, 1x Padded Stock
|
Required Item |
Where to find it |
|---|---|
|
15x Arc Coolant |
A rare material found by looting mid-tier Arcs like Comets, Fireballs, Pops, Sentinels, and Surveyors. |
|
15x Arc Thermo Lining |
A rare material found by looting mid-tier Arcs like Comets, Fireballs, Pops, Snitch, Tick, Turrets, and Wasps. |
|
4x Vaporizer Regulator |
Kill and loot Vaporizors, commonly found during Close Security map condition matches. They look similar to Rocketeers. |
|
6x Assessor Matrix |
Loot Arc Assessors found during Close Scrutiny map condition matches. |
Reward: 1x Bobcat III, 1x Extended Light Mag III, 1x Vertical Grip III, 100x Raider Tokens
|
Required Item |
Where to find it |
|---|---|
|
10x Surveyor Vault |
Kill and loot Surveyors, the large ball machines. These are common spawns during Close Scrutiny map condition raids. |
|
A rare material found by looting mid-tier Arcs like Sentinels and Shredders, as well as Snitches, Spotters, Turrets, and Wasps. They can also spawn in Baron and Deforester Husks. |
|
|
15x Vaporizor Regulator |
Kill and loot Vaporizors, commonly found during Close Security map condition matches. They look similar to Rocketeers. |
|
18x Assessor Matrix |
Loot Arc Assessors found during Close Scrutiny map condition matches. |
Reward: 1x Vita Spray, 1x Photoelectric Cloak, 1x Snap Hook, 400x Raider Tokens
While there’s no grand prize for completing the entire High-Gain Antenna project as seen in previous endeavors, the rewards for each stage are definitely worthwhile. Earning 400 Raider Tokens along with a variety of rare attachments is hard to pass up.
Is it worth going out of your way to complete this project if you weren’t planning to? Not necessarily. But for completionists, it offers an enticing bonus.
