This season isn't just about general survival; it's a targeted strike against specific ARC threats. The core objectives require you to hunt down and damage Fireflies and Vaporizers, two of the more lethal mechanical units that can easily overwhelm an unprepared squad. If you're heading out, you'll want to prioritize weapons with high burst damage to strip their plating before they can cycle their abilities.
The Riven Tides event specifically focuses on the beachheads, where the ARC presence is heaviest. Beyond the combat challenges, the Traders in Speranza are incentivizing thorough exploration. You'll need to locate and secure Raider Caches scattered throughout the zones. These caches are often tucked away in high-risk areas, so balancing your greed for loot with the necessity of a successful extraction is the name of the game this week.
For those looking to maximize their efficiency during this short seven-day window, here are the primary goals:
- Target Practice: Focus fire on Fireflies and Vaporizers to complete seasonal damage milestones.
- Cache Hunting: Scour the environment for Raider Caches to secure rare kitbashing materials.
- Coastal Combat: Engage ARC units on the beach to progress through the Riven Tides event track.
With only a week to climb the ranks, the meta is shifting toward mobility and high-tech salvage. Don't get greedy at the extraction point—those Vaporizers won't let you leave without a fight.
