The introduction of the new Redirection Condition for the map of ARC Raiders provides players with an opportunity to gather valuable ARK components on Pendola Pass. Players can do so by locating the Emperor Relays and deploying the beacons to call down the payloads of the Harvesters carrying useful crafting materials. This guide explains the working of the Redirection in brief and the types of rewards you can gain through it.
How to Activate Redirection Payloads
While in Redirection, look for the red beams that are directed to the sky and appear all over Pendola Pass, for they show the areas in which Damaged Emperor Relays are located; these are also available on the map.
Having found a relay, you should get an Emperor Beacon which you’ll need to take to a place suitable for using it. Note that the beacon can only work on an open-space site, and you won’t be able to set it indoors. You can have a maximum of three beacons in your possession, thus giving you an option to call three payloads at once.
After being deployed, the beacon causes a Harvester payload to arrive at the chosen location. You will see the explosions and falling debris as soon as it gets there and will be able to loot the items inside the containers.
Tips While Using the Emperor Beacon
The Emperor Beacon will attract enemies, whether they are human players or Fireflies. The first tip is to find somewhere to cover and hide to not just protect yourself from falling debris, but from other players and enemies too. You and your team need to be prepared for anything that is coming at you, so always keep your guard up during the deploying process.
The second tip is to assign someone to pick up all the loot while the others keep watch. You will be in the danger zone throughout this time, so don’t sit back and relax. Once you are done, you can exfil quickly, or take a chance with another beacon point.
All Redirection Loot and Rewards
The Emperor Payload can include various items which may assist in crafting and progressing in the game:
- Conductive Coupler, Insulated Coupler, and Plated Coupler: Needed for crafting the Emperor Gateway Conduit.
- Pneumatic Actuator and Pressure Regulator: Materials suited for creating Amplified weapons.
- Other ARC materials: Falling debris may provide ARC Alloy, ARC Circuitry, Motion Cores, etc.
Do note that the rewards can differ from one payload to another.
Why the Emperor Components Matter
The Emperor Gateway Conduit is crafted at Workbench I, using three couplers along with the blueprint. Upon crafting, the item will allow entry to the fallen Emperor, featuring an ever-changing dungeon with a looping mechanic.
The procedure allows players to gather Amplification modules inside the Emperor, allowing Redirection to connect to Amplified weapon progression. However, the source and costs to craft the blueprint still remain unknown.
