To open the Fallen Emperor’s entrance on Pendola Pass, bring one Emperor Gateway Conduit. The reported reliable route is to find its blueprint and three ARC couplers in Emperor Payloads during Redirection, learn the blueprint, then craft the conduit at Workbench I. Payload drops are random, and no verified drop rate is available, so plan for repeat runs.
What you need to open the Fallen Emperor
The base entrance door reportedly requires one Emperor Gateway Conduit. The stated crafting recipe is:

Recent guides report that the blueprint and couplers can appear in Emperor Payloads during Redirection on Pendola Pass. The sequence below reflects secondary guide reporting based on game text and preview or community footage, so confirm each step in game.
#1 Best Overall
- ARC Raiders Deluxe Edition includes the base game and the following content: The Wanderer Set, including the following cosmetic items: “Valente” Outfit" “Pathfinder” Backpack,“Blanket Roll” Backpack Attachment.
- Plus: Character Cosmetic, Finger Gun Rapid Fire Emote, Cowboy Scrappy Body Type and Skin, 2 400 Raider Tokens.
- Queue for Pendola Pass while Redirection is active.
- Look for an active Damaged Emperor Relay. Guides report that it may appear as a map marker or a visible red beam.
- Interact with the relay to obtain an Emperor Beacon.
- Move to a suitable open area and deploy the beacon.
- Wait for the Emperor Payload to crash, then search it for the blueprint and couplers.
The items are reported as random or low-chance loot, but guides provide no numeric odds or guaranteed number of runs. You may need to repeat the relay-and-payload route until you have every recipe component. See the reported payload farming route for further details.
Learn the blueprint and craft the conduit
- Use the Emperor Gateway Conduit Blueprint to learn its recipe.
- At Workbench I, craft one conduit using one ARC Insulated Coupler, one ARC Conductive Coupler, and one ARC Plated Coupler.
- Take the finished conduit to the entrance door at the base of the Fallen Emperor on Pendola Pass.
The reported door prompt asks for one conduit. If the item does not appear in the crafting menu after you obtain the blueprint, check that you have learned it and that all three couplers are in your inventory.
Rank #2
Is the Frozen Trail Reward Pass a shortcut?
One guide claims that tier 60 of the Frozen Trail Reward Pass unlocks a ready-to-use conduit. Other recent guides describe the blueprint-and-coupler crafting route without confirming that pass reward, and an official reward list was not available in the reviewed sources. Treat the tier 60 claim as unconfirmed; check the current in-game pass rewards before relying on it. The crafting route is the more consistently reported method.
Prepare for the Emperor interior
The area beyond the entrance is described as a dangerous, dungeon-like space, and Amplification Modules are identified as a key reward. Detailed information about the layout, enemy roster, and loot remains incomplete in recent guide coverage.
Rank #3
One guide recommends bringing a Grappling Hook or Snap Hook for traversal, but this is not established as a universal requirement. Plan for both movement and combat, and consider how you will extract safely rather than treating a specific gadget or loadout as mandatory. The Emperor guide also flags its details as still being confirmed.
