ARC Raiders Sees New Event Introduced in June 16 Update
Forgotten Relics Event
Raiders can unlock rewards by earning Merits, which are automatically converted from XP gained by playing on any map and used to unlock a range of rewards including gameplay items, weapons, and Raider Tokens.
Additional Merits can be earned by tracking down relics scattered throughout the world and tucked away in containers like lockers, drawers, and crates. Each relic carries a different Merit value depending on its rarity, and to claim those Merits, Raiders must successfully extract with the relic in hand.
Progressing through the event also rewards players with the Saltwalker Outfit, its toggles, and more, while Merits earned through Forgotten Relics contribute toward progress in the Converging Paths project.
Converging Paths Project
The Project will run from June 16 through to July 27 calling on Raiders to secure safe passage for the nomads, gather vital supplies, and recover forgotten relics from Topside.
Each stage completed advances the progress of a Display Case which displays the relics uncovered along the way. Raiders who see the project through to the end will walk away with the Red-Black color variant of the Saltwalker Outfit, a Sextant backpack charm, and Raider Tokens, bringing the total earnable this season to 300.
No Free Loadout – Night Raid and Close Scrutiny
We are disabling free loadouts for Night Raid and Close Scrutiny to increase the barrier of entry so that players commit to appropriate risk and reward in these scenarios that have better loot.
This is a time limited change that we will be testing for the next three weeks. We may add this limitation to more map conditions in the future after we’ve observed its impact and analyzed your feedback.
