How to Get Emperor Gateway Conduit in ARC Raiders (2026)
To get the Emperor Gateway Conduit Key in ARC Raiders, farm Harvester Payloads during the Redirection event on Pendola Pass to obtain its blueprint and three ARC Couplers. Craft it at Workbench I or unlock it through the Reward Pass. The Frozen Trail update added a valuable dungeon inside the Fallen Emperor, but you'll need the conduit to unlock its entrance.
Materials for crafting the Emperor Gateway Conduit
The Emperor Gateway Conduit requires three different ARC Couplers and its corresponding blueprint.
The three couplers are Epic-tier materials, while the completed Emperor Gateway Conduit is classified as Legendary.
You don't need an upgraded crafting station, you only need Workbench I to craft the recipe.

Where to Find the Emperor Gateway Conduit Blueprint?
The most targeted way to hunt for the Emperor Gateway Conduit Blueprint is through the Redirection map condition, introduced with Frozen Trail for the new map.
Redirection revolves around damaged Emperor relays that contain antennas that can call down Harvester Payloads. These containers contain valuable ARC materials and have a chance to drop the blueprint we are looking for, as well as the materials needed to craft it.
The event has ten fixed relay locations, but only two are active at the same time.
Instead of wandering around Pendola Pass hoping to find something useful by chance, open the map and check which Damaged Emperor Relays are currently highlighted.
You can also identify the locations of active relays through red beams of light visible across the entire map.
Once you have the antenna, you only need to deploy it on the ground so it can send a signal. At that moment, you must move away because debris and containers will start falling from the sky, which can easily break your shield.
There will be several containers that fall, but the one you should care about the most is the one you will see in the center. Here, the chance of getting the blueprint is higher than in the other containers that will fall.
Tip: I recommend grabbing the antennas and not activating them immediately, since you are not the only one after this blueprint, so many rats will try to grab the loot before you.
Where to Use the Emperor Gateway Conduit Key?
The Emperor Gateway Conduit unlocks the entrance to the Fallen Emperor in Pendola Pass.
The enormous fallen ARC stretches across the snowy landscape, making it one of the map's most recognizable landmarks.
Head toward the entrance located at the base of its body and look for the locked door.
The door requires 1 Emperor Gateway Conduit to unlock.
Once you've gone through the entrance, you'll be entering one of the most demanding areas introduced with Frozen Trail.
This isn't a simple locked supply room.
The Fallen Emperor is a dungeon-like environment that includes traversal challenges, all kinds of hazards, and extremely valuable loot.
