ARC Raiders has a myriad of different content to engage with, with the Riven Tides update adding even more to explore. With a new map and ARC threat, it’s easy to get distracted, but there’s a Live Event on the cards, and you won’t want to miss it.
Titled Last Resort, this Live Event will reward you with Merits for completing various in-game activities, which can then be used to unlock three pages of rewards, including new cosmetics and Raider Tokens.
How To Earn Merits During The Last Resort Event In ARC Raiders
You’ll earn Merits in ARC Raiders by getting XP on any map, as it’s automatically converted at the end of every raid.
100 XP converts into one Merit, so you’ll have to do a fair bit of grinding if you want to earn all of the rewards the Live Event has on offer. Thankfully, you don’t have to earn XP through specific methods, as was the case with the Shared Watch Live Event a few months back.

That means you can play the game however you see fit, but if you’re desperate to get your hands on some merits fast, there’s a way you can fast-track the process—by finding Ship Models. These reward you with bonus Merits, with different rarities offering varying Merit values.
All Rewards Available During The Last Resort Event In ARC Raiders
There are 21 rewards available during the Last Resort Live Event in ARC Raiders, and you’ll need 1,050 Merits to claim them all.

When Does The Last Resort Event End In ARC Raiders?
The Last Resort Event will run for just under a month, beginning on April 28 and ending on May 25, 2026.
It’s not too long, but it should be more than enough time to earn those Merits and claim all of the available rewards. That being said, if you’re interested in those cosmetics and Raider Tokens, it’s better to begin grinding sooner rather than later.
