ARC Raiders: How to Complete Home to Roost in the Blue Gate Tunnels

Every objective sits inside the MANTIKOR tunnels under Checkpoint, and the only true blocker is the Confiscation Room Key.

Every objective sits inside the MANTIKOR tunnels under Checkpoint, and the only true blocker is the Confiscation Room Key.

Home to Roost arrived with the Frozen Trails update, and despite that update introducing Pendola Pass, this quest never leaves the Blue Gate map. Everything happens in the old MANTIKOR tunnels beneath the central Checkpoint, from scanning a downed Android to sending security recordings back to Shani. The whole chain hinges on one locked door.

Quick answer: Enter Checkpoint’s tunnels, scan the Android at the rear, search MANTIKOR’s locker room and vehicle-weighing logs, unlock the Confiscation Room with its key, and send the recordings to Shani.


What you need before starting Home to Roost

Progress carries across raids, letting you scan the Android on one run and return for the other tasks later. The final objective is the only one with a lock: it requires an item that cannot be summoned whenever you need it.

  • The Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key can appear as random loot throughout the maps.
  • Bring a Safe Pocket augment to store the key and retain it if you are downed.
  • You need access to the Blue Gate map; its difficulty rating is 4 out of 5.

Look in the tunnels beside the weighing logs for a hidden spare key. Although collecting it is optional, it gives you a way into the Confiscation Room if you haven’t found the random drop.


Home to Roost walkthrough in the Blue Gate tunnels

Make your way to Checkpoint POI, at the map’s precise center, with lines of wrecked vehicles outside its gates. On the south side of the ground floor, go through the broad gates and down into the tunnels.
Once underground, bear left and continue toward the far end, passing the burned vehicles until you reach the back wall. Arriving there triggers the objective update.
At the rear wall, look behind a booth for the damaged Android. Move beside it and activate the scan prompt; the quest progresses after the scan completes.
Face away from the Android and follow the route on your right. It leads to a short stairway and a door opening into the Security Wing.
A second, short flight of stairs lies beyond the first door. Climb it, then look to your immediate right upon entering the next area to find the MANTIKOR locker room entrance. Breach the door if it has not been opened by another player; it may already be open if someone has passed through.
At the locker room’s rear wall, interact with the mural. This completes the clue search and sends you toward the weighing logs.
Head back down the stairs you came up. From the platform, look out over the underground garage to spot the vehicle weighing station among the parked vehicles. Interact with the panel on its right side to read the last vehicle weighing logs.
Pick up the concealed spare key behind the concrete barrier beside the weighing terminal. This optional item is the Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key; it unlocks the last door if you arrived without your own key.
Go back to the Security Wing platform, with the stairs on your right. Find the Confiscation Room’s locked entrance and use the key on its reader. You need a key to complete the quest: bring one, take the spare, join someone carrying one, or rely on another raider having opened the room already.
In the Confiscation Room, find the white box on top of the server rack in the middle. Climb onto the rack or the crates beside it, then interact with the box to send MANTIKOR security’s final recordings to Shani.

Search the Confiscation Room’s lockers and crates before leaving; this spot has plenty of loot, including blueprints, weapons, and components.


Rewards and how to confirm the quest is done

Sending the recordings completes the final objective, so Home to Roost is marked complete once the white box registers them. Leave via an extraction point or raider hatch, then visit Shani in Speranza to turn in the quest and collect the following.

Turning Home to Roost in also opens Someone Else’s Shoes, the next step in Celeste’s questline, so handing it off keeps the Frozen Trail chain moving forward.
