ARC Raiders launches Forgotten Relics merit pass

The developer released a monthly mid-season update for ARC Raiders that launches the Forgotten Relics event. The event is a merit-based mini pass with 21 rewards and runs alongside the Converging Paths project included in the update.

Players earn merits by completing the Converging Paths project and by looting and extracting new trinkets on the topside. Each distinct trinket extracted grants additional merit toward the pass. The pass contains fixed merit thresholds up to the top reward, which requires 3,150 merits.

Rewards begin at 150 merits with the Saltwalker outfit. Raider Tokens are awarded at 300, 1,350, 2,250 and 2,700 merits. Customization options for the Saltwalker outfit appear at multiple levels, including a Speaker Bag customization at 450, sleeve at 750, camo at 900, deer skull at 1,050, scarf at 1,200, shoulder pad at 1,500, and helmet options at 2,100 and 3,000 merits. Other cosmetics include an Antler Talisman backpack charm at 600 merits, a Cultist backpack at 1,650 merits, a Leather Bag customization at 1,800 merits, Tribal face paint at 1,950 merits, a mask customization at 2,400 merits, a Nomad Jug backpack attachment at 2,550 merits, and a White Green customization for the Saltwalker outfit at 2,850 merits. The final reward at 3,150 merits is the Skull Pantomime emote.

To complete the pass players should focus on finishing the Converging Paths project and continuing to search for and extract new topside trinkets, since each extraction increases merit.

The Forgotten Relics event is part of the mid-season update that also introduced a limited-time project and the new event pass. The pass distributes cosmetic items and Raider Tokens tied to exploration and extraction objectives on the topside.
