Embark Studios officially introduced the new Riven Tides map with the latest Arc Raiders update. The update also includes the Arc Raiders Beach Cleanup map condition, which provides players access to powerful loot using a specific device. Below, we have compiled everything you need to know about the new Beach Cleanup map condition.

What is the Beach Cleanup Map Condition in Arc Raiders?

Beach Cleanup is a small map condition added with the new Arc Raiders update and is exclusive to the Riven Tides map. When this condition is active, the abandoned shores and beach dunes of the map are filled with buried treasure. Unlike major map conditions like Night Raid or Electromagnetic Storm, Beach Cleanup is a loot-focused event.

To successfully interact with this condition, Raiders must equip a special device called the Dockmaster’s Detector. This device is important because high-value loot associated with Beach Cleanup remains buried under the sands, making it invisible. When equipped, the device provides distinct audio and visual cues to guide you to the buried loot.

How to Obtain the Dockmaster’s Detector in Arc Raiders?

You can obtain the Dockmaster’s Detector through the new Avian Alarm player project. However, this is not the only way to acquire it. Here are all the ways to get the Dockmaster’s Detector:

  • Accept the Shoring Up Defenses Mission: Apollo’s new mission requires you to take down multiple ARC enemies to strengthen defenses for the Panorama Azzurro hotel. Completing this mission adds a Dockmaster’s Detector to your inventory.
  • Avian Alarm Project: Completing Stage 1 of this new Raider Project also grants you access to the Dockmaster’s Device in your inventory.
  • World Loot: Rarely, you can find the Dockmaster’s Device in containers such as Toolboxes and Industrial Cages on the map.

Tips for the Beach Cleanup Map Condition in Arc Raiders

While Beach Cleanup is less dangerous than other major map conditions like Hurricane, it comes with its own tactical risks. Firstly, the Riven Tides update also introduced a machine called the ARC Turbine that patrols the open skies. Since the best Beach Cleanup spots are located on open sands with little to no cover, you are quite vulnerable to these patrols. Make sure to scan the horizon before starting a dig.

Beach Cleanup directs Raiders away from the intense verticality of the Panorama Azzurro hotel to the flat, open shore. This is a dream for Raiders with ARC Raiders Plans like Osprey or Jupiter.

If you focus too much on your detector, you may lose sight of your backline. There isn't much you can do about this, but if you want to signal aggression to other Raiders, the new White Flag can be used.

Also, don't forget to keep an eye out for rare Ship Models like Wind Sprite or Leviathan’s Crown during the Beach Cleanup event. These are required for the Last Resort event and offer high XP rewards when successfully extracted.
