Essential Steps to Finish the New Project in Arc Raiders
Riven Tides marks the arrival of Arc Raiders’ most significant update yet, introducing a new player project for you to dive into: the Avian Alarm project. In this initiative, you’ll harness the power of various birds to keep an eye on seismic shifts and atmospheric changes in Speranza.
As with previous player projects, you’ll need to gather a variety of items to contribute. This one spans five stages, making it a more extensive undertaking compared to the shorter High-Gain Antenna project, so prepare for a bit of a challenge. Notably, the first stage is a mini quest all on its own.
The Avian Alarm project unfolds over five stages, requiring you to donate different resources and items. Some of the materials are quite rare, so it’s wise to start collecting what you can for the later stages and stash them away for when you need them.
A key point to note is that you’ll need several of the new Ship Model trinkets for stages two through five. Your best bet for finding these is to go Beachcombing with the Dockmaster’s Detector, which can help you unearth buried treasures. These caches have a high likelihood of containing the Ship Models you need. There are five types of model ships available, but you won’t need the basic Windsprite for this project.
Here’s a breakdown of all five stages, the materials required, and the rewards:
The first stage of the Avian Alarm project stands out as it’s a unique quest step—no materials are needed. Simply place a bird trap next to the buoys hidden in the sand in the Seabed area of Riven Tides, located northeast of the Port Authority Building.
