Arc Raiders‘ newest event, Phantom Targets, has quite a few steps for you to complete, with many of them requiring you to dish out substantial damage to ARC foes using some unexpected equipment. Before you get to any of that, though, you’ll need to upgrade three cargo elevators.
If you’re feeling a bit stuck on this part of the event because you’re not quite certain what counts as a cargo elevator, we’ve got you covered below. Here’s how to upgrade cargo elevators in Arc Raiders.
How to upgrade cargo elevators in Arc Raiders
Upgrading cargo elevators in Arc Raiders is a lot more straightforward than you may expect because what you’re looking for are actually the extraction elevators found on certain maps. You’ve likely used these large, industrial elevators dozens (if not hundreds) of times already when returning to Speranza.
When you approach any of these large elevators, you should notice a tall antenna branching off the top of one of the corners. As you might suspect, these are the exact antennas we’re here to upgrade, so go ahead and approach them.
When you get close to an antenna, a prompt will appear that you can interact with to upgrade it. Do so, then either extract while you’re there or make your way to another cargo elevator to upgrade its antenna as well.
You don’t have to upgrade all of the antennas in a single raid, so you can always just upgrade an antenna each time you’re extracting across three runs rather than spending one run trekking across a map to knock them all out.
Cargo elevator locations in Arc Raiders
Cargo elevators are only located on Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and Riven Tides. Look below for all of the exact locations where you can find them on each of these three maps.
Dam Battlegrounds
Dam Battlegrounds has four cargo elevators. If you’re trying to complete all three upgrades in a single run, the bottom three of this map are all reasonably close together to make it a little easier for you.
Spaceport
Spaceport has four cargo elevators. If you’re looking to complete all of the upgrades in one run, this one may look like a good choice on paper, but it’s also crawling with ARC dangers. In addition to that, it’s a very open map, so it’s far more likely you’ll get sniped or otherwise engaged by other players.
Riven Tides
Riven Tides only has two cargo elevators due to the map’s small size. While you won’t be able to knock out all three upgrades in a single raid, the elevators are extremely close to one another, meaning it should be relatively easy to at least get two of them while you’re exploring here.
Arc Raiders is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Check out our Arc Raiders guides hub for tips, quest guides, and more for this extraction shooter.
