Most of the world was wiped out by ARC in Arc Raiders, leaving only a few creatures alive. The surviving animals include hardy insects, dogs and cats in Speranza, and smaller animals like frogs and birds that can avoid ARC.
Speranza has observed that some bird species still alive are sensitive to changes in the atmosphere. These birds might be useful for detecting subtle environmental shifts that current technology can’t pick up. More research and more live birds are needed, which means gathering resources and having brave Raiders who can gather loot and handle important tasks.

### How to Complete the Avian Alarm Project
Like previous projects, the Avian Alarm is a limited-time event, and you have 27 days to finish all five steps. Most of these steps involve collecting resource sets to exchange for rewards. While resources can be found on various maps, there’s a strong emphasis on Riven Tides, especially since three materials — the “Sirena Dorata” Ship Model, “Leviathan’s Crown” Ship Model, and Turbine Compressors — are exclusive to that map.
#### Initial Flock Intake
First, visit Riven Tides and complete a quest-like objective. Head to the shoreline east of the Seabed POI and find the rusty orange buoy near the Port Authority Building. Approaching it, you’ll see three blue highlighted spots. Interacting with these spots will place a bird trap needed for the project.
#### Preliminary Signal Birds
Next, you’ll return and turn in resources such as Tick Pods, Canisters, Moss, and the “Twilight Compass” Ship Model. The best location to gather all these items at once is Riven Tides, since it contains all enemy types and required materials. Upon completing this step, you’ll earn a Heavy Gun Parts Blueprint, three Surge Coils (powerful but risky), and 25 Raider Tokens.
| Materials Needed | How to Get Them |
|—————————|——————————————————————————————————|
| Tick Pod x7 | Found on ceilings or floors in areas like the rooftop dining at Hotel Panorama Azzurro, long tunnels from The Trench to near the West Container Yard at Spaceport, and inside enclosed buildings. |
| Canister x20 | Located in buildings with Commercial loot like Hotel Panorama Azzurro, and areas with Electronics loot such as Dam Battlegrounds and Spaceport. |
| Moss x12 | Found on driftwood in Riven Tides, growing in planters at Dam Battlegrounds, and inside Wicker Baskets on maps with lush conditions. |
| “Twilight Compass” Ship Model x5 | Found on furniture inside Hotel Panorama Azzurro or Hydroponic Dome Complex, and looted from buried suitcases with the Dockmaster’s Detector during Beachcomber events. |
#### Secondary Validation Birds
For this step, you’ll need to find Comet Igniters and Fertilizer, which are rare. Comets often explode prematurely, and Fertilizer piles are infrequent. Use explosives such as Trigger Nades, Light Impact Grenades, and Seeker Grenades to destroy Comets quickly before they explode on you. Completing this step grants you an Anvil IV (a Legendary splitter), 50 Raider Tokens, and a Fist In Air emote.
| Materials Needed | How to Get Them |
|——————————|————————————————————————————————|
| Comet Igniter x3 | Loot from Comets on Riven Tides and Dam Battlegrounds that spawn once about 15 minutes into the round and leave ten minutes before the timer ends. |
| Fertilizer x10 | Gather from seaweed near Seabed POI, dirt containers inside Dam Battlegrounds’ Hydroponic Dome, greenhouses near Blue Gate Village, and Wicker Baskets on lush maps. |
| Rusted Tools x8 | Loot containers, breach vehicles, and surfaces at Dam Battlegrounds’ Power Generation Complex. |
| “Velocity” Ship Model x5 | Found on indoor furniture in Hotel Panorama Azzurro or Hydroponic Dome Complex. |
#### Heightened Alert Birds
For this more challenging step, the main hurdles are acquiring a Vaporizer Regulator (found on Riven Tides or with the Close Scrutiny condition) and locating the rare “Sirena Dorata” Ship Model. Vaporizers are tough enemies, comparable to group bosses like The Queen or The Matriarch, and need proper gear and tactics to defeat.
Defeating this step rewards you with the Birdhouse backpack attachment, the Fist In Air emote, the Legendary Acoustic Guitar item, and 50 Raider Tokens.
| Materials Needed | How to Obtain |
|——————————|————————————————————————————————————–|
| Vaporizer Regulator x1 | Loot Vaporizers in Riven Tides or maps with Close Scrutiny, such as Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, and The Blue Gate. Vaporizers are large enemies that stay in one spot, using lightning missiles, mines, and heavy armor. Use explosives or powerful weapons to take them down. |
| Water Filter x3 | Loot or find in industrial loot areas like Hydroponic Dome, Water Treatment at Dam Battlegrounds, Stacking Yard at Riven Rides, and Warehouse at Blue Gate. |
| Agave x4 | Harvest from Agave plants on maps like Buried City or Riven Tides’ Dried Seedbed, or loot from Wicker Baskets with lush conditions. |
| “Sirena Dorata” Ship Model x5 | Loot from furniture inside Hotel Panorama Azzurro, Hydroponic Dome, or from buried suitcases using the Dockmaster’s Detector during Beachcomber events. |
#### Critical Warning Birds
The final step involves fighting the formidable Turbine, which only appears at Riven Tides after about 15 minutes. Be prepared for its heavy damage attacks and look for rarer items like Roots, which grow on ground bushes.
If you’re planning to fight the Turbine in a group, bring backup shields, a strong weapon like the Hullcracker, and explosives like Blaze Grenades or Trailblazers. Use the advice to maximize your chances of survival.
Completing this stage rewards you with the Birdhouse backpack, the Fist In Air emote, the Legendary Acoustic Guitar, and 100 Raider Tokens.
| Materials Needed | How to Get Them |
|——————————|—————————————————————————————————————-|
| Turbine Compressor x2 | Loot from Turbines appearing at Riven Tides, which spawn once 15 minutes into the round and despawn after ten minutes. They are large enemies that attack with lightning missiles and mines. Focus on their legs and the machinery to weaken them. |
| Red Coral Jewelry x3 | Loot from containers and surfaces in residential areas like Buried City homes, Blue Gate Village, or Hotel Panorama Azzurro. |
| Roots x4 | Harvest from roots and bushes near trees in Riven Tides’ Dried Riverbed, Dam Battlegrounds’ swamp, Blue Gate’s Trapper’s Glade, or Buried City’s Marano Park. |
| “Leviathan’s Crown” Ship Model x1 | Found during the Beachcomber event by looting buried suitcases with the Dockmaster’s Detector in Riven Tides. |
