With the Arc Raiders Riven Tides update, Embark Studios announced the Last Resort event. Through this event, players have the opportunity to earn many new free rewards, such as outfits, weapons, and more. If you want to participate in the Arc Raiders Last Resort event and claim all these free rewards, you can find everything you need to know below.

How to Progress in the Arc Raiders Last Resort Event?

To progress in the Arc Raiders Last Resort event, you need to earn Merits, the seasonal currency, just like in previous events. Merits are earned by actively playing on any map, but the new Riven Tides map offers unique opportunities for bonus earnings.

The most consistent way to earn Merits is to play Arc Raiders. Your standard Match XP is automatically converted to Merits at the end of each successful extraction. However, if you want to speed up your progress, the Last Resort event offers Miniature Ships. This means that rare physical items are hidden in the world and carry high Merit values depending on their rarity:

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

Along with the Last Resort event, players can also join the Avian Alarm project for other free Arc Raiders rewards. However, you will need to gather materials to progress in this new player project.

When Will the Arc Raiders Last Resort Event End?

The Arc Raiders Last Resort event will end on May 25, 2026. This gives players approximately four weeks from the launch of the Riven Tides update to earn the necessary Merits and complete the reward path.

Keep in mind that while the main event ends on May 25, the new Arc Raiders Expedition 3 window will close on May 11, 2026. If you want to earn permanent skill points and storage upgrades, prioritize the Expedition objectives first, then focus on the Last Resort event.
