Beachcombing is a Riven Tides-exclusive map condition introduced with the April 2026 Riven Tides update. During Beachcombing, the tides recede across the Seabed and shoreline, revealing washed-up containers, half-buried supply crates, and rare organic materials that are normally underwater. The condition turns the coastal areas of Riven Tides — which most players treat as transit zones — into the single best looting region on the map for the duration of the event. Expect a mix of bonus loot crates, Moss and Agave nodes, and Red Coral Jewelry spawns that contribute to the Avian Alarm community project.
Strategy & Tips
Drop near the Seabed extraction zones at the start of the raid and work the shoreline clockwise. Most players head inland to Hotel Panorama Azzurro or the Port Authority Building, so the beaches are usually uncontested for the first few minutes. Prioritize the buoy clusters north of the Port Authority — that is where bird traps are placed for the Avian Alarm Stage 1 objective, and the loot density around them is highest during Beachcombing. Bring a larger backpack — washed-up crates contain heavy items like Canister, Industrial Battery, and occasionally Vaporizer Regulator. The condition ends when the tide returns, so do not linger past the halfway mark of the raid.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Beachcombing in ARC Raiders?
Beachcombing is a Riven Tides-exclusive map condition that lowers the tide across the Seabed and shoreline, revealing washed-up loot containers, rare organic material nodes (Moss, Agave, Red Coral Jewelry), and supply crates not accessible during normal tides.
What loot can you get from Beachcombing?
Bonus crates contain heavy industrial items (Canister, Industrial Battery, Vaporizer Regulator), Avian Alarm project materials (Moss, Agave, Red Coral Jewelry), and occasional weapon cases. Coastal containers also have a higher chance to drop blueprints during the event.
Which map does Beachcombing appear on?
Beachcombing is exclusive to Riven Tides, the sixth ARC Raiders map released April 30, 2026. It does not appear on Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, Spaceport, Blue Gate, or Stella Montis.
How long does Beachcombing last?
Beachcombing runs for a 60-minute window like other map conditions. The tide is fully out for the first half of the event and slowly returns during the second half, so the early window is the most productive for beach looting.
Is Beachcombing good for Avian Alarm?
Yes — Beachcombing is the single best condition for farming Avian Alarm materials. Moss and Agave nodes spawn at higher rates on the shoreline, and the bonus containers frequently drop Red Coral Jewelry which is required for Stage 4 of the project.
