Discover everything you need to know about the Avian Alarm Project in Arc Raiders, including the required materials.

Riven Tides’ major update for Arc raiders is finally here, offering a new map, new Arc enemy, new minor map condition, and more. A part from the new content, we also get Avian Alarm Project, requiring you to place bird traps and then collect and submit materials for later stages. The project system adds long-term goals and encourages resource farming. It is time-limited and expires on a fixed date, and you can’t continue or complete it after that. In this Avian Alarm Project Guide, we’ll explore all stages and how to get the required resources while exploring.

How To Complete the Avian Alarm Project

The Avian Alarm in Arc Raiders is a new multi-stage Raider Project introduced in Riven Tides. You’re tasked with constructing a detection system that reacts to environmental changes. The system works by using captured birds as sensors. The project is divided into 5 stages, and each stage requires completing specific objectives and delivering the required materials. The game lets you preview all stages in advance, so you know what to collect ahead of time.

Complete the Avian Alarm Project

You must assemble parts of the system across stages. After that, deploy cages at coastal buoys to capture birds. The birds act as living sensors that react to environmental disturbances. You basically use it to detect danger or changes in the world, giving you enough time to prepare yourself. Most tasks are tied to the Riven Tides coastline map, requiring you to travel to specific areas, place cages, and gather materials.

Completing all stages gives multiple rewards, including Dockmaster’s Detector, Gel Patches, Bird House backpack attachment, Fist in Air Emote, and Raider Tokens.

When the ARC Raiders Avian Alarm Project ends

The Avian Alarm Project in ARC Raiders is not permanent, but a time-limited project with a fixed end date. The project ends on Tuesday, May 26, 2026. Once this date comes, you no longer progress through the stages, and the unfinished objectives are locked.

Not only this, but you also lose the chance to earn its rewards. Unlike some projects like Trophy Display, this one doesn’t carry over progress once expired. This requires you to finish all 5 stages before May 26 and submit all required materials in time. Delaying it can risk missing unique rewards like cosmetics, tokens, and a detector.

All Stages in Avian Alarm Project

Each stage represents a step in building and refining the bird-based warning system in Arc Raiders. Stage 1 is not based on materials, so you must go to the Seabed area to place a bird trap near a buoy. You don’t even need to extract, as interacting with it counts automatically.

All Stages in Avian Alarm Project

You must complete stages in order from 1→5. The next stage unlocks only after finishing the previous one. However, stage 2-5 requires you to submit items collected in raids. Stage 2 encourages basic scavenging and planning, while Stage 3 focuses on hunting specific loot sources and engaging with riskier zones. Stage 4 introduces combat gating, and Stage 5 focuses on rare loot extraction.

Hi, I’m Ali. I started gaming with Max Payne, and it set the tone for my interest in darker, more immersive experiences. I mostly play soulslikes, RPGs, and FPS titles that focus on tight mechanics and pacing.

I have a strong appreciation for game soundtracks and how they shape the overall experience. I’m also a long-time horror fan, across both games and films, with a preference for atmosphere-driven storytelling. This space reflects that passion, exploring games through both their mechanics and the atmosphere they create.
