The latest Flashpoint Update (launched March 31, 2026) has introduced a major community-driven initiative: the High-Gain Antenna Project. As ARC activity escalates across Speranza following the recent hurricane, this project serves as a critical progression milestone for Raiders looking to turn the tide.
Here's a breakdown of what the High-Gain Antenna project entails and why it’s currently the focus for players topside.
📡 The Objective: Eyes in the Sky
The narrative driving the project involves Celeste and Shani, who need a "permanent eye in the sky" to track the increasing frequency of aerial ARC threats. Specifically, the project is designed to monitor the new Vaporizer units — lethal aerial ARC that patrol in groups — and gather data for the upcoming Riven Tides expansion.
To complete the project, Raiders must:
- Collect Materials: Scavenge specific industrial components from resource-rich zones like the Buried City and Spaceport.
- ARC Operations: Participate in the new Close Scrutiny map conditions to recover rare parts from the ARC Assessor, a heavily guarded unit that appears during these high-risk operations.
- Contribution: Bring these materials back to Speranza to fuel the staged construction of the antenna.
🏗️ Project Stages: Requirements & Rewards
The construction of the High-Gain Antenna is divided into three distinct phases, each requiring more specialized salvage and offering greater benefits to the community.
| Stage | Construction Requirements | Raider Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1: Sturdy Base |
|
1x Torrente II, 1x Extended Medium Mag III, 1x Extended Barrel, 1x Padded Stock |
| Stage 2: Data Logger |
|
1x Bobcat III, 1x Extended Light Mag III, 1x Vertical Grip III, 100x Raider Tokens |
| Stage 3: Parabolic Dish |
|
1x Vita Spray, 1x Photoelectric Cloak, 1x Snap Hook, 400x Raider Tokens |
🛠️ Tips for the Grind
If you’re looking to maximize your contribution efficiency, focus your runs on the Spaceport during the Close Scrutiny condition. The ARC Assessor is a tanky foe, so bring high-impact weaponry and coordinate with your squad to peel off its armor before it can call in Vaporizer reinforcements.
