Arc Raiders: Lost Artifacts and Merging Destinies

Select Language:

The Forgotten Relics event in Arc Raiders is pretty simple. It has a clear goal and a project called Converging Paths, where players need to find and return different items added to the game during the event. To start, players must deal some damage to Arc Robots in the Swamp area. If you complete this step, you can earn various rewards, including a new outfit and a Blueprint for the Surge Coil, as explained below. Here’s a guide for completing the Forgotten Relics event, along with the Converging Paths progress, and how to unlock all associated rewards.

How to Complete the Forgotten Relics Event in Arc Raiders

This event is time-limited and will be available for 42 days from launch—until July 28, 2026. It features a progression path where you earn Merit points for rewards, plus a new project called Converging Paths, which is a separate challenge.

In the event’s progression path, players gather Merits mainly by earning XP. Extra Merits can be earned by extracting items like:

Train Model
Sextant
Vintage Steering Wheel
Equatorial Sundial
Rare Colorful Shoes
Tellurion
Epic Colorful Shoes
Legendary Colorful Shoes
Elephant Obelisk

Most of these Trinkets are easiest to find in Commercial and Residential areas, especially in the Bird City map modifier and the Buried City. Accumulating a total of 3,150 Merits allows players to unlock all 21 rewards on the path.

Converging Paths Project Walkthrough

Accessible in the Projects tab of the Raider menu, Converging Paths is made up of six stages:

Secure Safe Passage for the Nomads
Deal 1,200 damage to Arc enemies in the Swamp, south of Dam Battlegrounds. Simply spawn and hunt enemies in the area until you reach the damage goal. It might take a few runs, but persistence is key.
Collect Supplies
Gather items such as three Train Models, two Vintage Steering Wheels, two Air Fresheners, and six Arc Thermo Linings. Completing this grants smoke grenades, explosive mines, and Raider Tokens.
Procure Relics
Collect rarer items: four Sextants, three Equatorial Sundials, five Metal Brackets, and seven Steel for Arc Performance. Rewards include explosive grenades, Jolt Mines, a level 2 Rascal, and more Tokens.
Create Emergency Caches
Gather legendary items like three Tellurions, one Elephant Obelisk, six Light Bulbs, and nine Arc Coolants. Rewards include Surge Coils, more mines, and Token bonuses.
Finish the Cabinet of Curiosities
This phase demands more rare and legendary items, such as six Rare Colorful Shoes, three Epic Shoes, two Legendary Shoes, and ten Arc Synthetic Resin. Successful completion rewards several high-tier items and Tokens.
Use Nomad Tactics to Fight Arc
This stage is about damage — specifically, using mines and traps like Blaze Grenade Traps, Pulse Mines, Jolt Mines, Explosive Mines, and Surge Coils to damage Arc enemies. It’s most straightforward on big enemies like Bastions, which are easy to lead into traps. Rewards include a Sextant Backpack Charm, outfit color, Tokens, and a Surge Coil Blueprint.
