The Home to Roost quest in ARC Raiders sends you deep into the Blue Gate map's tunnel network, through MANTIKOR's secured facilities, and ultimately into a locked confiscation room most players walk right past. It's one of the quests added with the Frozen Trails update, and while the objectives sound straightforward, two of them trip up almost everyone the first time through.
Before dropping in, put the Blue Gate Confiscation Room key in your safe pocket. Losing it on death means starting over, and you will need it to unlock a door late in the quest chain.
What are all the Home to Roost objectives?
The quest has 8 objectives to clear, with one optional step that's worth doing for extra loot:
Reach the back of the Blue Gate tunnels
Scan any Android in the back of the Traffic Tunnels
Head to the MANTIKOR Locker Room
Search the locker room for any clues
Read the last vehicle weighing logs
(Optional) Find the hidden key
Enter the Confiscation Room
Transmit MANTIKOR's security last recordings to Shani
How to reach the back of the Blue Gate tunnels and scan an android
Head to the Outer Gates POI, which sits at the dead center of the Blue Gate map. The tunnels branch left and right from the entrance, and either branch works for the first objective. Just push through to the back section.
Once you're deep enough in the tunnels, the follow-up objective triggers: scan an android. These androids are lying on the ground in the tunnel area. Interact with one to complete the scan and move on.
tip
Both tunnel branches lead to the same general area. Pick whichever side has fewer ARCs active when you drop in.

How to reach the MANTIKOR Locker Room
The MANTIKOR Locker Rooms are inside the Security Wing of the Blue Gate tunnels, not a separate building. From the main platform of the Security Wing, take the staircase on your right and head up. At the top, turn right again and you'll see a barricaded door. That's your target.
Breach the door and head inside. Look for a mural on the wall and interact with it. That interaction completes the "search the locker room for clues" objective and also points you toward the next step.

How to read the last vehicle weighing logs
The mural gives you a hint about where to go next, but here's the direct answer: head back downstairs to the underground garage. There are parked vehicles in this area, and among them you'll find a vehicle weighing station.
Interact with the panel on the side of the weighing station to read the last vehicle weighing logs and check that objective off the list.
warning
Don't skip the mural interaction before coming down here. The weighing logs objective won't register until after you've triggered the clue step upstairs.

How to enter the Confiscation Room
Back on the Security Wing's main platform, look for a locked door. This is where the Blue Gate Confiscation Room key you stashed in your safe pocket earns its keep. Use it to open the door.
Once inside, take a moment to check the containers before moving to the final objective. The room has loot worth grabbing before you complete the quest and extract.

How to transmit MANTIKOR's security recordings to Shani
This is the step that catches most players off guard. After entering the Confiscation Room, move through to the connecting room at the back. You're looking for a white box sitting on top of a server rack.
The box is up high, so you need to climb the server rack to reach it. Interact with the white box once you're up there, and the transmission to Shani completes automatically.
important
The white box is easy to miss at ground level because it blends into the server equipment. Look up when you enter the connecting room.

What are the Home to Roost rewards?
After transmitting the recordings, extract and speak with Shani back at base to collect your rewards:
1x Surge Shield Recharger (Quick Use)
2x Sterilized Bandages (Quick Use)
2x Antiseptic (Refined Material)
The Surge Shield Recharger is the standout here, useful for any aggressive playstyle that burns through shield charges quickly.
