How to get Merits in ARC Raiders Shared Watch

Merits is a brand new currency you can earn in ARC Raiders Shared Watch, which can earn you different rewards for free.

There are various ways to earn Merits in ARC Raiders. This currency is exclusively used within the Shared Watch event. Let’s find out how it all works.

How to earn Merits in ARC Raiders

To earn Metits, you’ll need to get yourself XP. For every 100 XP you get, you’ll receive one Merit. However, this XP is different from that which you normally earn in-game to level up your account.

• You get Merit XP from damaging ARCs.
• Get a one-time chunk of Merit XP when you destroy an ARC. This applies to all ARC enemies, with the bigger ones granting more.
• You’ll also gain Merit XP by helping others to destroy an ARC.

To receive all the available rewards, you’ll need to earn plenty of Merits. Incidentally, the Shared Watch event isn’t a PvE-exclusive mode. You can still hunt and be hunted by other players. However, taking down a player won’t earn you any Merit or event XP.

If you solely want to focus on earning Merits to finish the event, you should hunt down as many ARCs as possible.

How to earn Merits fast in ARC Raiders

The core method of earning Merits is pretty simple. However, there are a few things you can do to increase the rate of earnings.

• Complete the Queen and Matriarch events as much as possible. Finishing them is difficult as you’ll face the strongest ARCs. However, you get to damage them more and gain plenty of XP pretty quickly.
• Use weapons that are good against ARCs. Not every weapon is a PvE weapon. If you have the necessary resources, my recommendations will be the Hullcracker and the Equalizer. The Renegade is a great, cheap alternative, especially when you’ve upgraded it.

Ideally, stay away from PvP for now, as you won’t want to get killed while trying to farm all the rewards.

Mewgenics is not a resource management game by any stretch of imagination, but you will need plenty of space in your inventory.

Your inventory space is where you’ll be storing the different items you find during your adventures. Storing these items will allow you to assign them to the cats of your choice before beginning a fresh run. Thankfully, you can increase your inventory space once you start clearing the early game content.

How to get more inventory space in Mewgenics

To increase your inventory space, you’ll need to donate cats to Butch. The number of cats you have to give to Butch will be plenty. As you might have thought, the cats you donate will be lost from your home, and you won’t get them back.

To donate cats to Butch, you’ll need to submit in batches of 20. Moreover, Butch has certain zone requirements when it comes to taking the cats from you. You can only submit cats that have been to the following areas on at least one adventure.

• Sewers or Junkyard (Act 1)
• Caves or Boneyard (Act 1)
• Sub-branches in Act 2
• Sub-branches in Act 3

Hence, you’ll first need to take the cats to the above areas. Most of the zones/areas mentioned above will first have to be unlocked. This also creates a problem, since cats taking part in your adventures will have better stats and higher levels. Submitting them permanently will feel slightly disappointing, but having the extra space is extremely beneficial.

How to use Trash to increase inventory space in Mewgenics

You have an additional set of slots where you can store items that you don’t immediately need. All items that are not in your storage are lost when a new day begins. However, you can use the Trash slots temporarily to manage your inventory.

You can shift any item to the Trash that you won’t need on your next adventure. Some of the items you carry will be consumed. Similarly, you’ll also find new items on your adventure that will return with your cats. You can then decide what you want to keep in your storage and what you want to throw away. It’s a smart way of managing the limitations of your inventory until you get those upgrades from Butch.
