Unlocking the Avian Alarm Project in Arc Raiders: Your Guide to Success!

Hey gamers! If you’re diving into the latest update of Arc Raiders called Riven Tides, you’re in for a treat with the Avian Alarm project. This massive update introduces a unique challenge that involves utilizing birds to keep an eye on seismic shifts and changes in the atmosphere of Speranza. It’s not just a walk in the park; this project is spread over five stages and requires some serious resource-hunting!

Just like previous player projects, you’ll need to gather a variety of items to contribute. What’s cool here is that the first stage is actually a mini quest, making it a bit different from what you might be used to with other projects. So, let’s break down what you need to do for the Avian Alarm project!

Stage Breakdown

The Avian Alarm is divided into five stages, and each one demands different materials. Some of these items can be a bit elusive, so it’s wise to start collecting them in advance and stash them away for future use. A key item for stages two to five is the new Ship Model trinkets. Your best bet for finding these is going Beachcombing with the Dockmaster’s Detector, which will help you unearth buried treasure. The chests you dig up often contain the Ship Models you need, but remember, you won’t need the basic Windsprite model for this project.

Stage 1: Initial Flock Intake (1/5)

This stage kicks off with a unique mini quest. You don’t need any materials here; just set a bird trap near the buoys in the sandy Seabed area, situated northeast of the Port Authority Building.
