ARC Raiders High Gain Antenna Materials List
If you’ve been hoarding resources in hopes of closing the player project fast, I gotta say you probably didn’t hoard the right ones. At least I didn’t. This project has only three stages to complete, but the rewards are pretty neat, especially if you sent your Raider on an Expedition. I’ll talk more about rewards in a separate section. Though I currently don’t have info on all materials needed for the project, I have information on some of them, and I’ll update the article immediately once I get the full list of resources. One thing I can say for sure, this project is tied to a new map condition called ARC Operation: Close Scrutiny. I’ll talk about it more in the respective article. Now, take a look at the full High Gain Antenna Player Project materials list.
Sturdy Base
While the first stage is usually quite easy to complete, I wouldn’t say that about this one. This feels more like a third stage of a project. The materials you need to find can be farmed through minor ARCs, but the amount of these materials will drive you nuts if you intend to do so. Below are all High Gain Antenna materials for Sturdy Base:
- ARC Alloy x50
- ARC Flex Rubber x10
- ARC Performance Steel x10
- Advanced ARC Powercell x15
As you might’ve guessed, all these ARC materials can be found during the Close Scrutiny map condition. Vaporizers, the new ARCs, also drop them, so be sure to loot them if you manage to get one down. Though it’s probably the intended way of doing the project fast, I will provide alternative ways of finding the materials.

Materials |
Where to Get |
|
ARC Alloy x50 |
You can get ARC Alloy virtually from every part of an ARC if you decide to recycle it. If you hope to just loot them, it’ll take a long time, as each ARC usually drops 1-2 of those. Recycle materials you don’t need from ARCs to get the Alloy to finish this section fast. |
|
ARC Flex Rubber x10 |
This material usually drops from Boss ARCs, but also from Sentinels and Ticks, occasionally. Sentinels are few and far between, so farming them isn’t an option. Ticks, on the other hand, are plentiful in the Buried City. If you have no weaponry to deal with boss ARCs, I suggest going the free kit route and just destroying as many Ticks as you can. Alternatively, you can get Flex Rubber from Baron Husks, but the quantity is low, usually just 1 piece of it drops. |
|
ARC Performance Steel x10 |
Aside from boss ARCs, two ARCs that also drop it are Hornet and Surveyor. To be honest, I barely found any on Hornets when looting them, but Surveyors actually drop 2-3 pieces of the needed Material, so 3-5 Buried City/Blue Gate runs, and you've got it. You can always try taking down Bastions, Bombardiers, or Leapers, as well as Vaporizers. |
|
Advanced ARC Powercell x15 |
My heart bleeds when I think of giving up the best source of Shield Charges. But oh well. ARC Powercells are very easy to find. There are many options for how you can get them, but I recommend just waiting for EM Storm/Husk Graveyard and looking for Rocketeer Husks, which are quite plentiful during these map conditions. One or two raids and you’re set. |
If you’re among the lucky few who stocked up on Flex Rubber and Performance Steel, first of all, why? Second of all, please share some. Jk. While the rewards for doing the Sturdy Base are really nice, don’t lose too much of your own loot in attempts to get them.

High Gain Antenna Project Rewards
I gotta say, I love the rewards. Not only are they some of the best weapons this season, but you also get some Epic-tier consumables and weapon attachments. You also get 500 Raider coins, which is quite generous, considering the devs were giving around 200 coins for each project completion. Let’s go over the High Gain Antenna project rewards:
|
Reward |
Description |
|
Torrente II |
A high-firing rate LMG. One of the best weapons for Stella Montis, btw. |
|
Extended Medium Mag 3 |
Adds 12 bullets to the mag size and makes weapons like Torrente and Arpeggio super strong. |
|
Extended Barrel |
It increases Bullet Velocity by 25%, which really helps on weapons like Anvil and Renegade. I’ve heard it works amazingly on Osprey, but I don’t see many people using Osprey, period. It also increases the Vertical Recoil by 15%, but that’s not a dealbreaker. |
|
Padded Stock |
This stock does a lot of things, but you gotta know that every blue and purple weapon mod has some tradeoffs you have to take into consideration. The same is the case here. It reduces all recoil and significantly reduces shot dispersion. Switching to and from this weapon becomes longer, and it slows down ADS significantly, so if you use it, use it on weapons that don’t require ADS. Namely, Torrente, Bobcat, and a new SMG, Canto. |
|
Bobcat III |
Will this SMG king be overthrown by a newcomer, Canto? We’ll see. So far, you gotta know that this is a very accurate, high RPM weapon that melts people. Missing shots is very punishing cause it chews through the mag in less than 0.5 seconds. |
|
Extended Light Mag 3 |
Adds 15 bullets to the mag size and turns Bobcat into an S+ tier gun. I’m not kidding, try it. |
|
Vertical Grip 3 |
Basically removes any vertical recoil, but makes ADSing super slow. You know where to put it. |
|
Raider Coins x100 |
Donation currency is needed to buy cosmetics. Save up enough and buy yourself a fancy outfit. I got three without donating a cent. |
|
Vita Spray |
Best healing item in the game, in my opinion. Not only does it heal fast, but it can heal anybody standing next to you. A game changer. |
|
Photoelectric Cloak |
You’ll need this item during the new map condition. It cloaks you from other ARCs and makes you invisible to them. |
|
Snap Hook |
Great traversal utility, but be careful using it next to an unfriendly Raider, as it’s one of the most desired (albeit rarely necessary) items in the game. |
|
Raider Coins x400 |
Yay, some more coins to buy a fancy outfit! |
All rewards here basically tell you one thing: go and fight. As the map condition is so tied to having all raiders converge in one spot with the fattest loot, it’s obvious that the tide has shifted. The devs noticed a problem of people being too friendly in an extraction shooter, mind you, and decided to act. Or maybe I’m just imagining things cause I’m a bloodthirsty loot goblin.
