The Forgotten Relics event in Arc Raiders is a pretty straightforward one, with both a progression path and a Converging Paths project in which players simply have to find and return various items added to the game as part of the event, at least after starting it off by doing a certain amount of damage in the Swamp area to various Arc Robots. Pull it off, and you can unlock various rewards including a new outfit and a Blueprint for the Surge Coil, as we'll explain below. Here's how to complete the Forgotten Relics event in Arc Raiders, along with the Converging Paths progression path, and what you need to do to unlock all the rewards attached to them.

How to complete the Forgotten Relics event for Arc Raiders

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:

Converging Paths project walkthrough for 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. 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
