The map

The Blue Gate is a wide mountain valley behind a gate that once stood for connection and now opens onto perilous ranges. Raids cross abandoned towns and fruiting orchards, with an underground complex full of deadly ARC machines beneath them.

Day or night

Night Raid is a map condition Embark rotates in for an hour at a time, and The Blue Gate is one of the maps that gets it. A night run trades visibility for better odds on the valuable loot. Pick Day, Night or Mixed and we schedule the night runs for when the condition is live.

Why runs here pay off

The Blue Gate matters beyond its loot: Stage 1 of the Outpost unlock is a photo at the Ruined Homestead here, and a weapon scope research task sends raiders up to Pilgrim's Peak. Every run is a full raid with an extraction at the end, and everything recovered stays on your account.
