ARC Raiders Home to Roost is a Frozen Trail quest from Shani that sends you deep into the Blue Gate tunnels. You need to scan an Android, search a MANTIKOR locker room, read vehicle weighing logs and transmit a security recording. The confusing part is the final locked Confiscation Room, especially if you haven’t found its key.
The entire investigation happens around the underground Checkpoint complex, not on the new Pendola Pass map. There’s also a spare key near the weighing station that players have found during the quest, so you may be able to finish without searching the rest of the game for a rare random drop. Here’s the complete route in the order you’ll need it.
ARC Raiders Home to Roost: all quest objectives
Accept ARC Raiders Home to Roost from Shani in Speranza and select the Blue Gate. Your objective tracker should lead you through these steps.
- Reach the back of the Blue Gate tunnels.
- Scan any Android at the back of the Traffic Tunnels.
- Reach the MANTIKOR locker room.
- Search for the clue inside the locker room.
- Read the last vehicle’s weighing logs.
- Enter the locked Confiscation Room.
- Transmit MANTIKOR’s last security recordings to Shani.
Individual stages can be completed over more than one raid, with earlier objective progress retained. Check the tracker when you redeploy rather than repeating interactions that already registered.
Where to scan the Android in ARC Raiders Home to Roost
Head to the Checkpoint near the centre of the Blue Gate map. Look for the southern gate entrance and the wrecked vehicles leading into the Traffic Tunnels. Follow the underground route to its far end and approach one of the Androids there. Scan any eligible Android in the back section. You don’t need a particular named machine, but an Android closer to the surface may not satisfy this objective.
Hostile ARC machines patrol the tunnels, so clear the immediate area before using the scan prompt. Once the tracker advances, turn towards the Security Wing.
Where is the MANTIKOR locker room for ARC Raiders Home to Roost?
In the Security Wing, look for a door marked with large MANTIKOR lettering. You’ll use that locked doorway later. For now, take the passage on its right and climb the stairs. Turn right at the upper level and breach the locker-room door if necessary.
Inside, ignore ordinary loot until you’ve found the quest clue: a red mural or painting on the wall near the back corner. Interact with it to complete the search. Opening lockers without inspecting the mural won’t move this quest forward.
Where to read the weighing logs in ARC Raiders Home to Roost
Go back downstairs and find the vehicle weighing station beside a rusted car. The relevant terminal sits on the side of the station closest to the wall. Use its interaction prompt to read the last vehicle’s logs, then look around the concrete barrier before leaving.
A small box or pickup near the weighing terminal has supplied a spare Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key in documented playthroughs. Check the area carefully after reading the logs. The key can save a separate trip to find a rarer random drop, but make sure you’ve actually collected it before returning to the locked door.
How to get the key in ARC Raiders Home to Roost
The final Confiscation Room requires a Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key. You can bring one found as rare loot, preferably protected in a Safe Pocket, or use the spare pickup near the weighing station when it appears. A teammate who has the key may also be able to open the door for your group.
If no spare appears, check that the weighing-log objective registered and inspect the area around the barrier again. It’s better to return on another raid than to waste time attempting to breach the wrong door. The upstairs locker room and downstairs Confiscation Room are two different locations.
How to transmit the recording for ARC Raiders Home to Roost
Return to the locked MANTIKOR Confiscation Room near the base of the locker-room stairs. Unlock it and head inside. The final quest item is a small white recording box positioned above normal eye level on the shelving near the centre of the room.
Climb the shelves or adjacent crates until the transmit prompt appears. Interact with the box, check that the recording objective completes and extract. Return to Shani in Speranza to finish the hand-in and collect your rewards.

ARC Raiders Home to Roost not working: checks before another raid
For an Android scan that doesn’t count, return to the back of the Traffic Tunnels. For the locker room, interact with the red mural rather than just searching the lockers. For the vehicle logs, use the terminal next to the weighing station, not the damaged car.
If the locked door won’t open, check your key and make sure it’s the Confiscation Room near the stairs, not the locker room above. Once inside, look up on the central metal shelving for the white recording box. The investigation ends when its transmission registers, not when you finish searching the room for ordinary loot.
The fastest ARC Raiders Home to Roost route is Android first, mural upstairs, weighing logs and spare key downstairs, then back to MANTIKOR’s locked room for the recordings. After that, concentrate on getting out safely rather than risking the completed quest for another container.
