The Arc Raiders Last Resort event has officially arrived alongside the new Riven Tides update. Running from April 28 through May 25, this limited-time engagement offers players a month of intense gameplay to secure exclusive cosmetics and currency. If you are looking to snag a new outfit, a unique backpack, or extra Raider Tokens, you will need to prepare for a significant grind.

How to Progress Through the Last Resort Event

To climb the event ladder, you must collect Merits. Much like previous seasonal activities in Arc Raiders, any XP earned during matches is automatically converted into Merits. To maximize your efficiency and progress through the event as quickly as possible, focus on high-action gameplay:

  • Eliminate as many robots and players as possible.
  • Loot containers thoroughly.
  • Successfully extract to ensure your XP counts toward your total.

While standard combat is the primary way to earn Merits, you can find a shortcut by hunting for miniature Ship Models. These wooden trinkets provide bonus Merits and are essential for rapid progression. There are five rarity tiers of these models to look out for:

  • Wind Sprite (Common)
  • Twilight Compass (Uncommon)
  • Velocity (Rare)
  • Sirena Dorata (Epic)
  • Leviathan's Crown (Legendary)

While you can earn Merits on any map, the Ship Models are exclusive to the new Riven Tides beach resort. We recommend spending as much time as possible in this new zone, completing fresh quests, hunting for buried treasure, and taking down Arc Turbines.

Arc Raiders Last Resort Rewards Breakdown

The event features a massive reward track spanning three full pages. Because you must progress through the milestones linearly, you cannot skip ahead to the items you want most. It is vital to stay consistent so you don't miss out on the high-tier gear before the May 25 deadline.

Key rewards available throughout the Arc Raiders Last Resort event include:

| Merit Milestone | Reward | | :--- | :--- | | 150 | Junior outfit base | | 300 | Brass Faucet backpack charm | | 600 | 1x Canto (level 1) | | 900 | 50x Raider Tokens | | 1,200 | Hose backpack attachment | | 1,800 | Heel Click emote | | 2,400 | Hydrologist backpack | | 2,850 | 100x Raider Tokens | | 3,150 | Junior outfit mask |

Beyond the cosmetics, earning Raider Tokens through the event allows you to purchase specific shop bundles, making this a highly valuable period for players looking to customize their look without spending extra resources. Don't forget to also complete the Avian Alarm project, which offers essential items like the Dockmaster's Detector—a vital tool for the new Beachcombing pastime.
