The Arc Raiders Forgotten Relics event and Converging Paths project are both live now, based around finding a Swamp and then various rare items from the past, including vintage relics and props. With two different ways to earn rewards, including a rare blueprint, it's worth understanding this limited time event before it disappears and you lose the chance to earn the prizes attached to it.
Below I'll take you through both a walkthrough for the Forgotten Relics event, and the attached Converging Paths project, as well as lay out how to complete all the mission objectives in the latter that Arc Raiders has included.
Forgotten Relics event in Arc Raiders explained
The new Forgotten Relics event in Arc Raiders is limited time and will only last for 42 days from launch, until July 28, 2026. It involves both a progression path with Merit rewards, and a new project called Converging Paths, both of which are their own individual challenges.
Forgotten Relics is its own progression path where players unlock rewards by earning Merits. Merits are earned through XP, but you can gain extra Merits by extracting with any of the following items:
- Train model (10)
- Sextant (15)
- Vintage Steering Wheel (15)
- Equatorial Sundial (25)
- Rare Colorful Shoes (25)
- Tellurion (50)
- Epic Colorful Shoes (50)
- Legendary Colorful Shoes (150)
- Elephant Obelisk (150)
These rewards, being Trinkets, are easiest and most commonly found in Commercial and Residential area. This makes the Bird City map modifier and the Buried City generally very good places to farm for them.
If players can work their way through to 3,150 Merits, they can unlock all 21 rewards on the progression path.
How to complete the Converging Paths project in Arc Raiders
Converging Paths is the player project tied to the Forgotten Relics event, accessible via the Projects tab on the Raider menu as normal. It's broken up into six sections, as outlined below.
Stage 1: Secure Safe Passage for the Nomads
In the first stage of the Forgotten Relics project you need to deal 1,200 damage to Arc enemies in the Swamp, by which they mean the area to the South of Dam Battlegrounds, around the South Swamp Outpost on the map shown above. The best thing you can do is spawn in and just go to work hunting them without leaving the area. It might take a few missions, but it's just a matter of time.
Stage 2: Collect Supplies
Stage 2 of Converging Paths goes back to the traditional approach of collecting items to submit. You'll need to get the following:
- Train Model x3
- Vintage Steering Wheel x2
- Air Freshener x2
- Arc Thermo Lining x6
- Rewards: Smoke Grenade Trap x3, Explosive Mine x3, Raider Tokens x25
Stage 3: Procure Relics
Rarity and number of items in Converging Paths escalate for the third phase.
- Sextant x4
- Equatorial Sundial x3
- Metal Brackets x5
- Arc Performance Steel x7
- Rewards: Blaze Grenade Trap x3, Jolt Mine x3, Rascal (level 2) x1, Raider Tokens x50
Stage 4: Create Emergency Caches
Stage 4 for Converging Paths escalates again, now demanding you obtain legendary tier items.
- Tellurion x3
- Elephant Obelisk x1
- Light Bulb x6
- Arc Coolant x9
- Rewards: Surge Coil x3, Blaze Grenade Trap x3, Explosive Mine x3, Raider Tokens x50
Stage 5: Finish the Cabinet of Curiosities
The penultimate phase of Converging Paths is the hardest for item collection, as now you need two legendary items.
- Rare Colorful Shoes x6
- Epic Colorful Shoes x3
- Legendary Colorful Shoes x2
- Arc Synthetic Resin x10
- Rewards: Combat Mk.3 (Flanking) Augment x1, Photoelectric Cloak x1, Bobcat (level 2) x1, Raider Tokens x50
Stage 6: Use Nomad Tactics to Fight Arc
The last Stage of Converging Paths is another objective mission, not an item collectathon. Here, you need to deal damage to Arc using mines or traps. That can include any of the following, to any enemy, on any map:
- Blaze Grenade Traps
- Pulse Mines
- Jolt Mines
- Explosive Mines
- Surge Coils
It's easiest to do this by applying them on huge enemies like Bastions who are easy to steer into them, but ultimately it's down to player preference.
- Rewards: Sextant Backpack Charm, Saltwalker "Red Black" outfit color, Raider Tokens x100, Surge Coil Blueprint x1
