Discover all about the Weather Monitor System Project in Arc Raiders, including the required materials and rewards for each stage.
Shrouded Sky update in Arc Raiders brings a Weather Monitor System that measures meteorological changes during a hurricane. It gives the idea of tracking unstable weather rather than giving you weather forecasts in a technical sense. The project format is divided into multiple stages, each representing different aspects of weather monitoring.
Completing each stage immediately gives you useful rewards like weapon upgrades and consumables. You receive additional rewards after completing the entire Weather Monitor System project in Arc Raiders. Some items, like the Comet Igniter or Firefly Burner, only drop from specific new Arc enemies in the recent major update.
Weather Monitor System Project Overview
It’s a seasonal player project where players gather and turn on the required items for each stage to build a weather monitoring device for Speranza. The Weather Monitor System doesn’t have any effect on the weather in the world, but it supports forecasting efforts.
Using this allows you to learn what the new map condition is, helping you progress safely. The general purpose of this system in Arc Raiders is to measure weather data for forecasting and warnings. Get ready to collect the required materials to complete each stage and gain useful rewards.
How the Weather Monitor System Project Works
This is a multi-stage player project introduced in the Shrouded Sky update. The objective here for you is to collect and submit specific materials during raids to help to build the Weather Monitoring System. Completing each stage allows you to earn gear, charms, Raider Tokens, and more. Each stage has its own list of required items that you must collect during raids.
Once collected, you must submit them in the project menu. The game allows you to see only the current stage in-game. Collect materials for later stages early and stash them till that stage gets unlocked. There’s no time limit on completing this project, so don’t put too much stress on it. Finishing all five stages gives 250x Raider Tokens and an Anemometer backpack charm.
Most of the required materials come from destroying the Arc enemies or looting containers. Bring items back to the project screen and submit for the current stage. Finish the stage to earn rewards and repeat the process till al five stages are completed. Comet Igniter or Firefly Burner are the new items that can be obtained by defeating two new Arc enemies.
