Discover the details of Arc Raiders’ unexpected treasure hunting event and what rewards await you.

Arc Raiders has rolled out its latest update, introducing the Forgotten Relics event and the Converging Paths project, which are subtly connected. While not overly complex, these additions serve as a fun way to keep players engaged until the major Frozen Trail update drops in October.

Here’s a rundown on how to earn Merits for the Forgotten Relics event and the rewards that await dedicated treasure hunters.

Like Converging Paths, this event is time-limited, running from June 16 to July 27, so make sure to dive in while you can.

To make progress in the Forgotten Relics event, you’ll need to accumulate Merits, which you can earn by:

There are nine new trinkets scattered throughout the game, each offering a different number of Merits based on their rarity. Once you’ve collected these relics and returned to Speranza, you can also donate them to the Converging Paths projects, making it a two-for-one deal.

The best spots to hunt for these trinkets are in Residential or Commercial areas, particularly on shelves or tucked away in cupboards and drawers. I suggest checking out Grandioso Apartments, Santa Maria Houses, and the Plazas in Buried City, as well as peeking inside chimneys during the Bird City event. Here’s a breakdown of their Merit values:

Since XP is crucial for progressing in the Forgotten Relics event, you’ll want to maximize your earnings. Participating in map events like Night Raids is a fantastic way to score big while also looting for those valuable trinkets.

Keep an eye on the key updates and the best deals as they come in.

Merits are automatically converted and can be tracked on the events page, so be sure to check your progress there.

There are 21 rewards up for grabs, including an exclusive outfit and 100 Raider Tokens, requiring a total of 3,150 Merits to unlock everything:
