To get the Gateway Conduit Key in ARC Raiders, look for the Emperor Gateway Conduit. The main route is to find an active Damaged Emperor Relay on Pendola Pass during the Redirection map condition, use its Emperor Beacon to call a Harvester Payload, then search the payload’s main container. The blueprint and materials are random drops, so finding a payload does not guarantee the key or blueprint.
How to get the Emperor Gateway Conduit blueprint
- Enter Pendola Pass during Redirection. Check the map for active Damaged Emperor Relays. Dot Esports reports ten fixed relay locations, with two active at a time; active relays are marked on the map or can be identified by their red beams. Dot Esports’ guide describes this route, but relay behavior may change with updates.
- Collect an Emperor Beacon. Interact with an active Damaged Emperor Relay to take its beacon.
- Deploy the beacon in an open area. Move clear and wait for the debris and Harvester Payload to arrive.
- Search the main payload container. The Emperor Gateway Conduit blueprint and its couplers are chance-based loot. You may need to call and search multiple payloads; no confirmed drop rate or guaranteed location is established.
KeenGamer and AllThingsHow also describe the payload route: KeenGamer’s guide and AllThingsHow’s guide. These are secondary guides rather than official patch notes, so treat mechanics as current reporting, not a permanent guarantee.

Alternative: a reported Reward Pass reward
KeenGamer reports that Frozen Trail Reward Pass Level 60 grants a finished Emperor Gateway Conduit directly. That is a time-sensitive reward-pass detail, not a source of the blueprint for future crafting; check the live game’s pass before relying on it. KeenGamer’s guide
| Route | What it can provide | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Redirection payload on Pendola Pass | A chance at the reusable blueprint and couplers needed to craft the key | Blueprint and component drops are random; repeated payloads may be needed. |
| Frozen Trail Reward Pass Level 60 | One finished Emperor Gateway Conduit, according to KeenGamer | Time-sensitive reported reward; it does not provide the blueprint for later crafting. |
Where to use the Emperor Gateway Conduit
Take the finished conduit to the locked entrance at the base of the Fallen Emperor on Pendola Pass. Guides report that the interior contains endgame progression loot, including amplification components and the Emperor Modulator. Dot Esports and KeenGamer describe the entrance and loot.

AllThingsHow reports that an Emperor Beacon extracted from a raid becomes a Ruined Emperor Beacon. Use the beacon during that run to call the payload; do not count on extracting it as a usable key component. AllThingsHow
