The Phantom Targets Player Project in *Arc Raiders* has launched, offering players a new set of challenges to earn rewards. Currently, only the first part of this project is available, requiring players to upgrade antennas and hunt down Arc enemies.
Challenge Breakdown
Part 1 of the Phantom Targets Player Project consists of three distinct challenges:
Step 1: Players must upgrade antennas located on Cargo Elevators. Completing this step rewards players with a Combat Mk. 3 augment (Aggressive), a heavy shield, and vita spray.
Step 2: The second challenge involves dealing damage to Arc enemies using specific weapons. Successful completion yields 50 raider tokens, an Aphelion battle rifle, a Dolabra shotgun, and a Jupiter sniper rifle.
Step 3: Players must destroy Arc enemies using various damage types, leading to another 50 raider tokens, a powered descender, a horizontal grip, and a snap hook.
Step 1: Upgrading Antennas
To complete the first step, players need to locate and upgrade three antennas found atop extraction elevators in Riven Tides, Spaceport, or Dam Battlegrounds. The Dam Battlegrounds is suggested as the easiest location. Players should interact with the antennas until the upgrade bar fills completely. Multiple antennas can be upgraded in a single run, allowing players to finish this part efficiently.
Step 2: Dealing Damage to Arc Enemies
The second step requires players to deal damage to Arc enemies using specific parts. This includes:
- 50 damage using pop triggers, which can be found dropped by Pops in Stella Montis and Buried City.
- 500 damage using wasp drivers, commonly dropped by Wasps across all maps.
- 1,000 damage using leaper pulse units, dropped by Leapers found at the Water Treatment extraction point and Red Lakes on Dam Battlegrounds.
Completing this step can be challenging due to the mobility of Arc enemies, but using showstoppers to stun them can help.
Step 3: Destroying Arc Enemies
The final step involves dealing 1,500 damage using fire damage items and destroying specific Arc enemies with energy weapons and launcher ammo. Players can utilize blaze grenades and fireball burners from a distance to achieve this goal. The rewards from the second step can be beneficial in taking down tougher enemies.
Upcoming Updates
Part 2 of the Phantom Targets Player Project is set to arrive with the 1.42 update on August 18, expanding the challenges and rewards available to players.
