Converging Paths Project is a limited-time Raider Project launched alongside Forgotten Relics for ARC Raiders, lasting 42 days. During the project, players need to collect different items to obtain various special rewards, and you will also receive a corresponding reward for completing one of the six stages. Below are the details about this project.
Converging Paths Project & Forgotten Relics
Unlike previous Raider Projects, Converging Paths Project is not a simple item collection and donation mode. The first and final stages also require players to deal damage to ARC enemies.
While Converging Paths Project and Forgotten Relics are two separate events, the trinkets you bring back during Converging Paths extraction will also accumulate reward points for Forgotten Relics. This is because Forgotten Relics progression system requires players to earn Merit to unlock rewards. If a player can obtain 3,150 Merit, they can unlock all 21 rewards in the progression.
Normally you can obtain them with XP, but players will also gain additional Merits if they are carrying the following items when evacuating from Converging Paths Project:
- Train Model - common, 10 Merits
- Sextant - uncommon, 15 Merits
- Vintage Steering Wheel - uncommon, 15 Merits
- Equatorial Sundial - rare, 25 Merits
- Colorful Shoes - rare, 25 Merits
- Tellurion - epic, 50 Merits
- Colorful Shoes - epic, 50 Merits
- Colorful Shoes - legendary, 150 Merits
- Elephant Obelisk - legendary, 150 Merits
These new relic trinkets are most commonly found in commercial and residential areas. Therefore, Therefore, Bird City event and Buried City are often great chance and place to enjoy these tickets.
Next, let's turn our attention to Converging Paths Project itself. It has six phases, requiring you to complete the tasks of the previous phase before you can proceed to the next. Phases 2-5 require you to collect and submit specific ARC Raiders Converging Path foundation. Let's take a closer look.
No. 1 Secure Safe Passage
The first task is on the Dam Battlegrounds map, where you must deal 1200 damage to ARC enemies. These enemies are located in the western swamp area, between the Hydroponic Dome Complex and South Swamp Outpost, as shown on the map. This area is populated with many wandering machines, including Rocketeers.
It's recommended to do this in Close Scrutiny map conditions, as Arc Assessor here spawns waves of moderately powerful robots; attacking them will quickly accumulate 1200 damage.
Upon completion, you will receive 3 Pulse Mines, 3 Lure Grenade Traps, and 25 Raider Tokens.
No. 2 Collect Supplies
The second phase returns to the traditional method, requiring you to collect and submit items. You need to collect the following items:
- 3 × Train Model (common trinket)
- 2 × Vintage Steering Wheel (uncommon trinket)
- 2 × Air Freshener (uncommon trinket)
- 8 × Arc Thermo Lining (mid-tier ARC loot)
Upon submission, players will receive 3 Smoke Grenade Traps, 3 Explosive Mines, and 25 Raider Tokens as a reward.
No. 3 Procure Relics
In the third stage, the rarity and quantity of items will increase:
- 4 × Sextant (uncommon trinket)
- 3 × Equatorial Sundial (rare trinket)
- 5 × Metal Brackets (Mechanical/Electrical)
- 7 × Arc Performance Steel (high-tier ARC loot)
Rewards: 3 Blaze Grenade Traps, 3 Jolt Mines, 1 Rascal II, and50 Raider Tokens. Rascal II is a rare, single-shot, folding-barrel grenade launcher. Its explosive warheads only activate upon contact with mechanical enemies, preventing damage to human players and making it highly effective in PvE.
No. 4 Create Emergency Caches
The fourth phase is even more difficult, now requiring you to obtain legendary items:
- 3 × Tellurion (epic trinket)
- 1 × Elephant Obelisk (legendary trinket)
- 6 × Light Bulb (under car hoods)
- 9 × Arc Coolant (mid-tier ARC loot)
Rewards: 3 Surge Coils, 3 Blaze Grenade Traps, 3 Explosive Mines, and 50 Raider Tokens.
No. 5 Finish Cabinet of Curiosities
This is the most difficult stage of item collection, as you now need two legendary items, and the total number of items to collect is also large:
- 8 × Colorful Shoes (rare)
- 3 × Colorful Shoes (epic)
- 2 × Colorful Shoes (legendary)
- 10 × Arc Synthetic Resin (Leapers, Shredders, Queens)
Rewards: Combat MK.3 (Flanking) Augment, 1 Photoelectric Cloak, 1 Bobcat II, and 50 Raider Tokens.
Bobcat II is an epic submachine gun with an extremely high rate of fire, known as a bullet sprayer, and is a great helper for self-defense - don't miss it!
No. 6 Use Nomad Tactics to Fight ARCs
The final stage is an objective mission, not item collection. In this stage, you need to use mines or traps to damage ARC enemies. You can use any of the following methods - Blaze Grenade Traps, Pulse Mines, Jolt Mines, Explosive Mines, and Surge Coils - to deal damage on any map to complete the mission.
Since only damage from mines or traps counts in this phase, players should remember to accumulate mines and traps early on. Because this phase is not limited by mode or map, you should place them in areas with high enemy density.
Your final reward is Sextant Backpack Charm, Red-Black Saltwalker Outfit Color, Surge Coil Blueprint, and 100 Raider Tokens. Saltwalker Outfit is one of the most anticipated top-tier cosmetic rewards, obtainable by earning 150 Merits in Forgotten Relics. The red and black color scheme makes it incredibly cool!
Completing all six phases of Converging Paths Project will reward players with a total of 300 Raider Tokens (plus rewards from accumulated points in Forgotten Relics), a large number of mines and grenade traps, blueprint outfits, and more.
These are the six stages of Converging Paths Project. Overall, it retains the solid rhythm of traditional collection missions while incorporating practical combat challenges at the beginning and end, making the project more than just running around and collecting items; it tests your comprehensive control over the map, enemy distribution, and resource accumulation. Furthermore, its connection to the Merits behind Forgotten Relics adds to its replayability.
