With its new Riven Tides update, Arc Raiders has introduced a variety of fresh things to encounter in its dangerous world, including a scary new ARC and a whole new map. Of course, as with many other major updates for this popular extraction shooter, there’s also an event to engage with, which comes along with miniature ship models that can be found to contribute to your progress in it.
During the Last Resort Event, which runs from April 28 to May 25, you’ll primarily earn Merits by obtaining XP, which will automatically go toward earning some new cosmetics and in-game resources. However, it’s not just XP that can help you get through the reward track, as you’ll also be able to round up miniature ship models while exploring the maps, netting you some additional Merits to move things along a bit more quickly.
Here’s where to find miniature ship models in Arc Raiders.
Where to find Ship Models in Arc Raiders
There are five types of Ship Models in Arc Raiders, each offering more or less Merits based on their rarity level.
- Wind Sprite – 5 Merits
- Twilight Compass – 10 Merits
- Velocity – 25 Merits
- Sirena Dorata – 50 Merits
- Leviathan’s Crown – 250 Merits
Unfortunately, there’s no way to guarantee you’ll find Ship Models while exploring across Riven Tides, as they spawn in random places across the map. That being said, we’ve had the best luck discovering these items while looting our way through the Hotel Panorama Azzuro POI on the left side of the map. The more common Ship Models can often be found here on couches or in containers.
It seems the rarer Ship Models, such as Sirena Dorata and Leviathan’s Crown, have a significantly higher chance of spawning during the Beachcombing map condition. Most notably, you can hold and use the Dockmaster’s Detector (obtained during the first phase of the Avian Alarm project) to uncover containers that have a good chance of housing a high-end Ship Model, though it’s still not a guarantee.
While it’s true that you may not be able to find Ship Models on every run of Riven Tides, being thorough in your exploration and looting will make it likely that you come across them reasonably often. It’s always nice to have more chances to earn extra Merits (and therefore more rewards), so keep your eyes peeled. Good luck hunting, raider!
