Unlocking the Skies: Your Guide to the Avian Alarm Initiative
Embarking on the Avian Alarm Quest in Arc Raiders
The latest update to Arc Raiders brings forth a new endeavor known as the Avian Alarm project. While it shares similarities with other in-game tasks that require players to accumulate various resources, its initial phase stands out as a distinct quest. This quest specifically involves positioning a bird trap near buoys found within the recently introduced Riven Tides area.
The Strategic Importance of Early Deployment
After successfully setting up the bird trap and fulfilling the initial requirement of monitoring the local bird population, the project transitions into a more conventional resource acquisition phase. Players will then need to gather specific items to enhance their avian companions' capabilities. These enhancements are crucial for training the birds to identify potential threats, such as seismic disturbances, highlighting the unexpected utility of these creatures in the game's narrative.
Locating the Elusive Bird Trap Site
To begin the Avian Alarm project, your destination is situated to the northeast of the Port Authority Building, located at the upper section of the Riven Tides map. This position is a considerable distance from the Seabed clue initially provided. Upon reaching the dried-up seabed, adjacent to the sea wall outside the Port Authority Building, you will spot a prominent red buoy emerging from the sand.
Executing the Trap Placement
In the vicinity of the large red buoy, you will find several designated spots suitable for placing the bird trap. Simply select one of these interactive points and follow the on-screen instructions to deploy the trap. It is important to note that no specialized equipment or items are required to be brought into the mission for this particular task, simplifying the initial setup process for players.
Leveraging Proximity for Enhanced Progress
Given the bird trap's close proximity to the Stacking Yard, players have a prime opportunity to simultaneously advance multiple objectives. This location allows for concurrent progress in the "Shoring Up Defenses" and "Battening Down" quests, both introduced by Apollo as part of the new map's content. Efficiently tackling these quests together maximizes playtime and streamlines overall mission completion.
Completing the Avian Alarm Project: From Trap to Triage
Once the bird trap has been successfully deployed and you have returned to Speranza, access the Avian Alarm project page to confirm its completion. Following this, you can proceed to contribute the necessary materials for the remaining four stages of the project. This next phase begins with collecting seven Tick Pods, twenty Canisters, twelve units of Moss, and five Twilight Compass Ship Models, specifically those of green quality.
