As the “Shrouded Sky” update rolls across the horizon in Arc Raiders, players are facing more than just the usual robotic threats. The introduction of the Weather Monitor System project marks a significant shift in how we interact with the environment of Topside. Much like the permanent Trophy Display, this initiative allows Raiders to build a lasting piece of infrastructure in Speranza, helping the colony stay one step ahead of the devastating hurricanes currently battering our shields.
At Digital Tech Explorer, we specialize in breaking down complex systems, whether they are real-world hardware or digital survival mechanics. This project requires a mix of legacy resources and newly introduced materials. Below, we’ve documented every stage of construction to help you optimize your resource gathering and claim your rewards.
The Weather Monitor System: Step-by-Step Guide
Constructing this monitoring station is a five-phase process. Since this is a permanent project, there is no ticking clock, allowing you to prioritize your stash space effectively. We recommend gathering materials for the later, more hardware-intensive stages while you are out on expeditions for the initial phases.
| Project Phase | Focus Area | Completion Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | Atmospheric Pressure | 5x Durable Cloth, 5x Great Mullein, 5x Antiseptic, 3x Vita Shots |
| Stage 2 | Sunlight Analysis | 10x Processor, 5x Advanced Electrical Components, 3x Zipline, 1x Raider Hatch |
| Stage 3 | Precipitation Tracking | 3x Medium Gun Parts, 2x Complex Gun Parts, 3x Advanced Mechanical Components, 1x Renegade III |
| Stage 4 | Humidity Levels | 10x Explosive Compounds, 3x Showerstoppers, 3x Trailblazers, 1x Extended Barrel Attachment |
| Stage 5 | Temperature Regulation | 1x Medium Shield, 5x Surge Shield Rechargers, 3x Sterilized Bandages, 1x Tactical MK.3 Revival |
From a storytelling perspective, these stages represent the technical evolution of the colony’s sensors—moving from basic textile-based protection to advanced processors and mechanical components. It’s a testament to the Raider spirit: taking the scrap of the old world to build a safer future.
Final Completion Rewards
Once you have donated the final resources for the Temperature phase, you will have successfully calibrated the system. Beyond the individual stage rewards, finishing the entire Weather Monitor System project grants you two exclusive items:
- Anemometer Backpack Charm: A unique cosmetic to showcase your dedication to Speranza’s safety.
- 250 Raider Tokens: Essential currency for further upgrading your gear and abilities.
While this project may not offer the same raw loot volume as the Trophy Display, its contribution to the narrative and the utility of the rewarded tactical gear make it a must-complete for any serious Raider.
