How to build the outpost in Arc Raiders

The Arc Raiders ‘Frozen Trail’ update introduces a new outpost system, allowing players to establish a home base on the planet’s surface as an alternative to operations from the Speranza station. The outpost feature operates similarly to existing in-game projects and is accessible through a dedicated tab in the player interface outside of raid missions.

To construct an outpost, players must complete a series of tasks across three sections. The first section, titled “Research topside living conditions,” requires players to locate a farmland house at the Ruined Homestead area on the Blue Gate map and photograph it using a camera—players must have a camera item in their inventory to begin this task. Upon completion, players receive an Advanced camera blueprint as a reward.

The outpost system represents a new layer of progression and player agency in Arc Raiders, expanding gameplay opportunities beyond the core raiding mechanics. While specific details about the subsequent sections remain unrevealed in this excerpt, the system’s design parallel to existing project mechanics suggests it maintains consistency with Arc Raiders’ established progression framework.
