All ship models in ARC Raiders and how to get them

The Riven Tides update to ARC Raiders has added ships as a new kind of trinket you can find on your adventures, and doing so brings its own rewards. These aren’t just any trinkets that you sell for mere credits. Finding them will be vital if you’re trying to maximize the Last Resort event that’s live as part of the update.

There are five ships to find. Each ship has a rarity attached with them. The rarer the ship, the harder it is to find. However, a rarer ship will also help you get more Merits, which helps you unlock more rewards from the Miniature Voyages event.

Here’s how many Merits you can get from each type.

• Wind Sprite (Common): 5 Merits
• Twilight Compass (Uncommon): 10 Merits
• Velocity (Rare): 25 Merits
• Sirena Dorata (Epic): 50 Merits
• Leviathan’s Crown (Legendary): 250 Merits

The biggest challenge with finding the ships is regarding their locations. The ships don’t have a fixed location, and their spawn spots will change with raids.

For starters, you’ll need to look for these models on the Riven Tides map. If you’re a beginner, you’ll need to complete a fair amount of raids before the map unlocks for you. The Hotel Panorama Azzurro is hands down the best location to find these ships. I have found the Common and Uncommon ships on every raid, but their numbers do vary.

If you’re specifically going for the Rare and Legendary variants, wait for the Beachcombing minor map condition to be active. Then, get your Dockmaster’s Detector and head to the beach. The Dockmaster’s Detector will help you find containers in the sand that can contain valuable items for you to find.

If you’re lucky, you could end up getting the Sirena Dorata or the Leviathan’s Crown from these containers. Ultimately, it all depends on your luck, so keep looking for them whenever you’re running around Riven Tides.

The Crash Mat is a unique consumable that has been added to ARC Raiders as part of the Riven Tides update, and having the blueprint will allow you to craft the item. At its core, the Crash Mat nullifies a massive amount of fall damage if you manage to land on it by any means.

But first, let’s find out a few potential locations for the blueprint.

Like every other blueprint, there’s no fixed location to find the Crash Mat. It will boil down to your luck. The item’s blueprint can spawn on any map condition. I have stuck to the Riven Tides map since the update, and it’s where I also found the blueprint.

I found mine in a random container at the beach near Hotel Panorama Azzurro. It was an ordinary container, and I had spawned in the map quite early. If you’re unlucky, you can try looking into the rooms of the hotel itself. It’s a great spot to find trinkets, which also includes the miniature ships.

You can also use the Dockmaster’s Detector during the Beachcombing minor map condition to find containers that would otherwise remain hidden. These containers can also contain the blueprint. However, the Beachcombing condition isn’t mandatory to find the blueprint; it just theoretically raises the odds of your success.

How to craft the Crash Mat in ARC Raiders

Once you have the blueprint, you can start crafting the Crash Mat with the following resources.

• One Electrical Components: You can craft it with raw materials or find it as random loot.
• One Durable Cloth: You can craft it from the basic cloth.

To craft the Crash Mat, you’ll also need a Tier 2 Utility Workbench. To use the item, you have to aim it at the ground. Once thrown, it will create an airbag on the ground. When you fall on the item, it will absorb all the fall damage. When used strategically, it will allow you to get out of tight situations.
