ARC Raiders: Forgotten Relics Event Guide

ARC Raiders recently launched a new event called Forgotten Relics. Players can find Relics hidden across the game’s maps and turn them in for rewards, including cosmetic items and gear to help with future gameplay.

The Forgotten Relics event in ARC Raiders was a surprise – unlike previous events, the developers didn’t give players much warning. If you weren’t expecting it, you might be curious about what’s happening and how to prepare.

Okay, so I’m diving into the Forgotten Relics event in ARC Raiders and wanted to share what I’ve figured out. This is basically my breakdown of everything you need to know to get a full grasp on it – from start to finish!

How to Complete the Forgotten Relics Event in ARC Raiders

Just like other events in ARC Raiders, the Forgotten Relics Event lets you earn rewards by gaining experience (XP). For every 100 XP you get, you’ll receive 1 Merit. Collect enough Merits to unlock items as you progress through the event track. Completing the Forgotten Relics Event means unlocking all of these rewards.

Need a reminder on how to get XP towards your Merits? There are several ways! You’ll earn XP by collecting loot, defeating ARC enemies or Raiders, and successfully returning to Speranza after each run. During the Forgotten Relics Event, you can also get extra Merits by finding Relics, which are special items called Trinkets, and extracting with them.

In ARC Raiders, players can discover nine unique Relics (also called Trinkets). These relics come in different rarities – the rarer the relic, the more Merits you’ll get when you extract it. See the table below for a complete list of all Relics available during the Forgotten Relics Event.

Relic Rarity Merits
Train Model Common 10
Sextant Uncommon 15
Vintage Steering Wheel Uncommon 15
Equatorial Sundial Rare 25
Colorful Shoes Rare 25
Tellurion Epic 50
Colorful Shoes Epic 50
Colorful Shores Legendary 150
Elephant Obelisk Legendary 150

Best Places to Find Relics in ARC Raiders

During the Forgotten Relics Event, you’ll have the most luck finding Relics in homes and businesses. Specifically, look inside furniture like shelves, drawers, and lockers.

I’ve had some success finding Relics at Santa Maria Houses on the Buried City map, and at Ruby Residence and Pale Apartments on the Dam Battlegrounds map. But Relics don’t always appear in these spots, so it’s best to search every house and shop you find.

All Forgotten Relics Event Rewards

While earning XP, finding Relics, and gaining Merits during the Forgotten Relics Event, you can unlock rewards! There are 21 rewards in total, and many of them are really useful.

Wow, this event has some amazing stuff to earn! Just a heads-up though – the Forgotten Relics Event won’t be around forever, so I’m definitely trying to make progress quickly to get everything before it’s gone.

When Does the Forgotten Relics Event End?

The Forgotten Relics event in ARC Raiders is happening now and will last until July 27, 2026. You currently have just over a month to collect all the rewards! Because earning experience points is straightforward and there are many Relics hidden on each map – each one giving you Merits – you should be able to finish everything before the event ends.
