How to upgrade the Cargo Elevator antennas in Arc Raiders
Arc Raiders is running a limited-time Phantom Targets project where the character Shani sends players to investigate unusual signals across the map. The first phase of this event tasks players with locating communication upgrades positioned atop three extraction facilities distributed across different battle zones.
These extraction points, referred to as Cargo Elevators, are recognisable bunker structures equipped with four retractable entrance doors. Players must climb to the roof of each facility, interact with the radar equipment scaffold, and repeat this process at all three locations to advance. Embark Studios has acknowledged a minor visual glitch where interaction prompts may remain visible after activation, though players can confirm their progress through the quest log.
In short
- Arc Raiders' Phantom Targets event requires players to locate and upgrade antenna equipment at three extraction facilities
- Cargo Elevators are bunker-style extraction points on Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and Riven Tides with radar dish scaffolding on their roofs
- A minor bug may leave interaction prompts visible after completion, though quest progress can be verified via the in-game map
Explained simply
Arc Raiders is a multiplayer game in which players explore dangerous battle zones to collect resources and complete missions. Its missions often involve finding equipment or interacting with objects in the environment.
Shani is a character who gives players tasks. The Phantom Targets project is a limited-time series of those tasks, built around investigating unusual signals. Cargo Elevators are extraction facilities: places where players can leave a battle zone with what they have collected.
The communication upgrades are radar equipment placed on the facilities’ roofs. Activating them helps players progress through the project, which is part of the game’s temporary event content.
