ARC Raiders High Gain Antenna Project Guide TL;DR
-
The High Gain Antenna is a new Flashpoint player project in ARC Raiders.
-
The project has 3 stages, with 4 turn-ins in each stage, each rewarding something.
-
Stage 1 needs ARC Alloy, ARC Flex Rubber, ARC Performance Steel, and Advanced ARC Powercells.
-
Stage 2 and Stage 3 rewards are also ARC-source related
-
The fastest Stage 1 farm is Night raids with high Probe spawns on Dam Battlegrounds or Blue Gate.
Target-farming weapon Blueprints could take you upwards of hundreds of hours. To save lots of time, you can always buy ARC Raiders Blueprints on Playhub. Quick and safe delivery guaranteed.
High Gain Antenna Requirements and Rewards by Stage
All of the stages are centered around you gathering uncraftable ARC-sourced items to build the net of antennas around the Rust Belt. The rewards are very generous, so I’d get to farming the scrap immediately:
|
Stage |
Requirements |
Rewards |
|---|---|---|
|
Stage 1: Sturdy Base |
50 ARC Alloy, 10 ARC Flex Rubber, 10 ARC Performance Steel, 15 Advanced ARC Powercell |
1x Torrente II, 1x Extended Medium Mag III, 1x Extended Barrel, 1x Padded Stock |
|
Stage 2 |
Not completed yet |
1x Bobcat III, 1x Extended Light Mag III, 1x Vertical Grip III, 100 Raider Tokens |
|
Stage 3 |
Not completed yet |
1x Vita Spray, 1x Photoelectric Cloak, 1x Snap Hook, 400 Raider Tokens |
The rewards include two weapons, several weapon attachments, a cloak, a Snap Hook, and 500 total Raider Tokens from Stages 2 and 3 combined - a very generous offering to sweeten up the pot.
High Gain Antenna Project Stage 1 Required Items
Once again, all items are coming from the ARCs, and fighting them is the theme of the patch. Remember, you’re not forced to fight them - you can just loot up the probes, husks, and other scrap lying around the maps. If you’re up for a fight, here’s who I think you should target:
|
Item |
Amount |
Best sources |
|---|---|---|
|
ARC Alloy |
50 |
Any ARC remains - even the ticks drop respectable amounts of alloy if you kill several at the time, plus ARC Probes, Wasp Husks, and Rocketeer Husks |
|
ARC Flex Rubber |
10 |
Tick, Baron Husk, Deforester Husk |
|
ARC Performance Steel |
10 |
Hornet, Firefly, Bombardier, Bastion, Leaper, Baron Husk |
|
Advanced ARC Powercell |
15 |
Sentinel, Surveyor, Leaper |
ARC Performance Steel and Powercells are the hardest to get, but any Sentinel or Rocketeer kill should net you several of them. Don’t be unreasonable and try to ninja loot someone else’s kills - that’s how you get killed by other raiders. The reward is hardly anything to scoff at - you’ll get a kitted-out Torrent, which is a decent weapon IMO, especially for new players.
Best Farming Route For High Gain Antenna Project Stage 1
I think the best route you can possibly take is the Night raid with heightened probe spawns. The best map IMO is either the Dam Battlegrounds or the Blue Gate - just go to the Adorned wreckage or the Old Battleground and loot up the husks plus crack up every probe you’ll see along the way. Or you can run the newly introduced Close Scrutiny mode - it’s the latest addition of the Flashpoint patch; it’s an excellent ARC parts source, too.

Priority |
Target |
Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
|
1 |
Any ARC plus nearby ARC Probes or Husks |
Fastest way to stack ARC Alloy |
|
2 |
Tick and Baron Husk |
Reliable Flex Rubber sources |
|
3 |
Hornet and Firefly |
Performance Steel cows |
|
4 |
Sentinel, Surveyor, and Leaper |
Time-tested Advanced ARC Powercells donors |
Don’t worry about stacking ARC Alloy too much - you’ll get tons of it just going for rarer mats. Keep your ears open and locate bigger ARCs around you - that’s who will help you complete the project.
