The Weather Monitor System is a new player project in Arc Raiders, added in the Shrouded Sky update. Like the Trophy Display, it’s a permanent project, so you don’t have to worry about running out of time, which is great because you’ll need to gather all kinds of different materials and resources (including some new…
