How to complete Arc Raiders Converging Paths project

Arc Raiders gave us a surprise player project in the latest update to keep us busy for a few weeks while Embark is cracking on with Frozen Trail coming in October. The Converging Paths project works in tandem with the Forgotten Relics event, asking you to donate your new trinkets to build a display stand for them.

I'll outline everything you need to do below, but I'll warn you now that it's a limited-time event, running from June 16 through to July 27. I do wish we could customise our den and show off our achievements long term, though. You're teasing us, Embark.

How to complete the Arc Raiders Converging Paths project

The Converging Paths project has six stages to complete, but unlike most projects, it actually starts and ends with a simple quest objective—I recommend you save the mine and trap rewards for the final stage. You'll also need to find a bunch of the new trinket items, which you'll also need for the Forgotten Relics event.

Details

The best place to find these new relic trinkets is in Residential or Commercial areas, since they commonly spawn on shelves, and inside cupboards, drawers, and other containers. I recommend searching Grandioso Apartments, Santa Maria Houses, and the Plazas in Buried City, and inside the chimneys during the Bird City event.

• 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)

Here's everything you need to do, and what you'll earn:

Secure safe passage (1/6)

You need to deal 1,200 damage to Arc enemies in the Swamp, which is on the west side of Dam Battlegrounds. You can complete this task anywhere between South Swamp Outpost and presumably Hydroponic Dome Complex, and there's no shortage of machines roaming this area, including Rocketeers.

A great way to complete this step quickly would be to take advantage of the Close Scrutiny map condition when it's active on Dam Battlegrounds, as the Arc Assessor's spawn waves of bots to kill.

• Rewards: 3x Pulse Mine, 3x Lure Grenade Trap, 25x Raider Tokens

Collect supplies (2/6)

From here on out (until the final step), it's back to the usual 'collect items and donate them' objectives that we're used to from projects.

• Reward: 3x Smoke Grenade Trap, 3x Explosive Mine, 25x Raider Coins

Procure relics (3/6)

• Reward: 3x Blaze Grenade Trap, 3x Jolt Mine, 1x Rascal II, 50x Raider Coins

Create emergency caches (4/6)

• Reward: 3x Surge Coil, 3x Blaze Grenade Trap, 3x Explosive Mine, 50x Raider Coins

Finish the cabinet of curiosities (5/6)

• Reward: 1x Combat MK.3 (Flanking) augment, 1x Photoelectric Cloak, 1x Bobcat II, 50x Raider Coins

Use nomad tactics to fight Arc (6/6)

The final task is to deal damage to Arc using mines or traps, including Blaze Grenade Traps, Pulse Mines, Jolt Mines, Explosive Mines, and Surge Coils. You'll have earned a bunch from completing the stages so far, so now it's time to put them to use. You can do this on any map and mode, so pick your poison.

• Reward: Sextant backpack charm, Red Black Saltwalker outfit colour, 100x Raider Coins, Surge Coil blueprint
