Home to Roost is a quest in ARC Raiders added with Frozen Trail update. Shani sends you into the facilities beneath Checkpoint on Blue Gate to investigate MANTIKOR security and transmit its final recordings. You will not need to visit the new Pendola Pass map.

The final room requires a Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key, but you can obtain a spare during the quest.

After reading the vehicle weighing logs, check the small box beside the terminal for the hidden key. This lets you open Confiscation Room without finding a random key drop beforehand.


Starting Home to Roost

Home to Roost unlocks after Celeste's A Wrench in Works. Accept the quest from Shani, select Blue Gate, and head to Checkpoint in the center of the map. Approach from the south, walk between the abandoned vehicles, and pass through the large gates into Traffic Tunnels.

Pops, Fireballs, and Shredders can appear underground, so bring a weapon and healing supplies.

When choosing ARC Raiders items for this run, focus on those basics: the quest does not require you to extract with a special quest object, making a Free Loadout an option. If you already have a Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key, bring it along to use at the final door.

 

Scanning an Android

For Android scan in ARC Raiders, follow the underground road to the back of the Traffic Tunnels.

Look for Androids lying on the floor or sitting against the walls. Several targets are available, and scanning any eligible Android in this area counts toward the objective.

Approach one and complete Scan interaction. If it has no prompt, try another nearby Android. Once scanned, turn back toward the tunnel entrance and head into Security Wing.

Finding MANTIKOR Locker Room

To reach MANTIKOR Locker Room in ARC Raiders, enter Security Wing and locate the locked door beneath the large MANTIKOR sign.

This is the Confiscation Room you will enter later. Facing that door, take the passage on its right and climb the stairs. Turn right upstairs to find the locker room door, which you can breach.

Enter MANTIKOR Locker Room and interact with the drawing on the wall. It depicts a vehicle weighing station, pointing you toward the next objective. Return downstairs to the underground parking area using the same staircase.

Reading the Logs and Finding the Key

The Vehicle Weighing Station is across from the stairway platform. Walk to the side closest to the wall and interact with the terminal to read the last vehicle's weighing logs.

Reading the logs makes the small box beside the terminal interactable. Open it to collect the spare Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key, then return to MANTIKOR door. This saves you from searching other areas for ARC Raiders items in the hope of finding a random key drop.

If the box has no interaction prompt, check that you have read the weighing logs, then inspect the box beside the terminal again.

If you still cannot obtain the spare, use a key you already have or go with a teammate carrying one. Check the full item name, since keys for other Blue Gate rooms will not open this door.

Return to Security Wing and use the key to unlock the door beneath MANTIKOR sign. Enter Confiscation Room and continue into the connected room. Find the metal shelving, climb up, and interact with the white box on top to transmit MANTIKOR security's final recordings to Shani.

After transmitting the recordings, extract and return to Shani in Speranza to claim your rewards.

You receive three types of ARC Raiders items: one Surge Shield Recharger, two Sterilized Bandages, and two Antiseptic, plus 5,000 XP. Completing Home to Roost also unlocks Celeste's next quest, Someone Else's Shoes.
