The Riven Tides update for ARC Raiders is finally here, and it’s the biggest one yet. From a whole new coastal map to a major ARC threat, the Turbine, there’s a heap of content to explore. However, as usual, one of the highlights is the brand new Project, Avian Alarm.
You’ll be setting up cages and catching birds across the Riven Tides coastline in order to slowly build a makeshift security system to detect tremors and atmospheric changes. You’ll be aptly rewarded, as well as earning the Dockmaster’s Detector—your key to Beachcombing.
If you want to know what items to look out for on your next raid, then you’re in the right place. Follow this guide to see every requirement and reward tied to the Avian Alarm Project in ARC Raiders, along with how long you’ll have to complete it.
How To Complete The ARC Raiders Avian Alarm Project

There are five stages to the Avian Alarm Project in ARC Raiders, though the first Stage will have you complete an in-game task instead of handing over items.
For the first time in ARC Raiders’ history, you can finally scroll through each stage of the Project, meaning you won’t be clueless as to what items you need down the line. It’s a great quality of life improvement, though the lack of mystery and community searching will be missed.

When Does The ARC Raiders Avian Alarm Project End?

There’s an official expiry date for the Avian Alarm Project in ARC Raiders, as it will end on May 26, 2026.
It’s the standard affair now, as each Project introduced with a major monthly update will expire by the time the next one rolls around. Given that May 26 is the last Tuesday of the month, and the same day updates are released, it all lines up.

However, it didn’t always used to be this way, as Embark Studios left it unclear when Projects would end. Prior Projects, like the High Gain Antenna and Weather Monitor System, both ended with little warning, so it’s nice to see that won’t happen again this time around.
