So, if you are ready to participate in the new event, learn how to progress in the Forgotten Relics event and earn rewards in Arc Raiders here in our guide.
How to Complete the Forgotten Relics Event in Arc Raiders
Similar to the Arc Raiders Last Resort event introduced in the Riven Tides update, you are required to earn ‘Merits’ and progress through the new Forgotten Relics event. If you forgot about how to earn Merits in Arc Raiders, it is very straightforward.
Either you can hop into a game and earn XP by looting, shooting ARC enemies or raiders, and successfully extracting to Speranza. All the XP you earn in a raid will automatically be converted to Merits upon your return. You get 1 Merit for every 100 XP you obtain in-game.
Or you can start looting the newly introduced nine relics, aka trinkets, in the game. These new trinkets can be found anywhere in the game, i.e., inside containers, cupboards, etc., and each offers you a different amount of XP.
The best trinket loot spots in Arc Raiders are in Dam Battlegrounds and Buried City. You can start searching in the Residential (Grandios Apartments, Santa Maria Houses, etc) and Medical facilities in the Buried City or the Research and Development building in Dam Battlegrounds for the best results. Having said that, here are the exact Merits you get for obtaining all nine relics in Arc Raiders:
| Relic (Trinket) | 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 Shoes | Legendary | 150 |
| Elephant Obelisk | Legendary | 150 |
Moreover, you can also donate the relics you found to complete the new Converging Paths project in Arc Raiders.
