Key information
The Frozen Trail update for Arc Raiders introduces the ability to craft Amplified weapons. To utilize this feature, players must upgrade to a Level 4 Gunsmith bench, which requires an Emperor Modulator. This specific item is located within the final loot room of the new Emperor dungeon.
Accessing the dungeon requires an Emperor Gateway Conduit, which serves as a key for the door located in the west of Pendola Pass. Players can obtain the conduit blueprint as a rare drop from Arc Couriers or by participating in the Redirection event on the same map. During this event, players must activate Damaged Emperor Relays, deploy a beacon, and loot the resulting Harvester payloads.
Successful navigation of The Emperor dungeon demands specific equipment. The author recommends bringing a Snap Hook for platforming puzzles, an Anvil or Renegade to destroy yellow nodes, and a Hullcracker to neutralize Hydra turrets. Additionally, players should carry ample healing supplies and a Looting augment to manage inventory space effectively.
The dungeon features various encounter layouts involving pillar puzzles, laser tunnels, and hazardous rooms. Upon reaching the final chamber, players must contend with waves of Arc enemies before accessing containers. The author notes that one or two Emperor Modulators can be found in these containers, advising players to secure the item in a safe pocket before exiting through the hatch or side doors.
