The Phantom Targets Project gives ARC Raiders players something different to do in the Rust Belt. It is not just another run for materials. You will track strange signals, work with field equipment, and take down ARC machines under specific conditions. The first phase arrived with the August 4 update, while the second phase is scheduled to open with Update 1.42 on August 18. If you want a smoother start, spend a little time improving your workshop with ARC Raiders BluePrints before heading into the tougher objectives. A small amount of preparation can save several frustrating raids later.

Start With the Cargo Elevator Antennas

The opening task asks you to upgrade antennas at Cargo Elevator extraction points. Spaceport is usually the most comfortable map for this job. It is compact, the routes are easy to learn, and you can often visit more than one elevator before leaving. Dam Battlegrounds and Riven Tides also count, so choose the map that fits your current supplies and confidence level.

Do not rush straight to the first antenna, complete the interaction, and leave. That approach works, but it wastes time. Check the nearby extraction points before deploying and sketch out a simple route in your head. If the area is quiet, upgrade several antennas in one trip. If the lobby feels crowded, finish one objective and extract safely. Losing a good run because you chased one extra interaction is rarely worth it.

Pair Equipment Tests With Regular Missions

Once the antenna work is done, the project shifts towards ARC equipment tests and machine takedowns using different damage types. This is where players often slow themselves down by treating every requirement as a separate trip. You do not need to. Bring the devices you need, then work on several objectives during the same deployment.

For example, you can test a piece of equipment while searching for crafting materials, then complete a required machine takedown on the way to extraction. Keep an eye on ammunition, healing items, and noise. A rushed fight can turn a simple mission into a long recovery. Spaceport remains useful when speed matters, but the larger maps can be worthwhile if you need particular materials at the same time. The best route is the one that lets you make progress without forcing a risky detour.

Rewards and Preparation for August 18

The reward track includes several items that are useful beyond the event itself. Players can earn Legendary Jupiter, Legendary Dolabra, Legendary Aphelion, a Heavy Shield Mk III, Combat Augments, Vita Spray, Powered Descender, Horizontal Grip, Snap Hook, and Raider Tokens. The weapons and defensive items are the main draw for many players, while the smaller gear pieces can help round out a developing loadout.

Part Two arrives with Update 1.42 on August 18, alongside the Tick Hunter Set. That bundle contains a Tick Hunter Outfit with colour options, a Field Telephone Backpack, a Tick Trophy Backpack Charm, a Spider Tattoo Face Style, and 2,400 Raider Tokens. Before the update lands, keep a useful stock of ammunition, medical supplies, and crafting materials. It is also worth improving your workshop and learning the safest paths between extraction points. These little jobs feel boring until a new mission asks for something you already have ready.

Final Thoughts



Phantom Targets works best when you treat it like a series of linked field jobs rather than a checklist to clear as fast as possible. Upgrade several antennas when the route is safe, combine equipment tests with machine objectives, and leave the map before a good run turns sour. The project also gives you a reason to revisit workshop upgrades and manage Raider Tokens carefully. If you have spare currency after handling your core needs, you can buy ARC Raiders Trinkets while still keeping enough room for future equipment and cosmetic releases. With Part One completed and your supplies in order, you will be in a much better position when the August 18 missions become available.
