While the surface of Earth is usually a death trap ruled by mechanical drone swarms and towering ARC giants, this community event asks Raiders to find the grim beauty in their surroundings. The theme is a "beach holiday to Riven Tides," encouraging players to use the game's atmospheric lighting and high-fidelity environments to capture something more artistic than a standard firefight.
If you're looking to fund your next kitbashed upgrade or pick up some new cosmetics in Speranza, the stakes are worth the effort. Winners will receive 1,150 Raider Tokens, a significant boost for any scavenger looking to stand out among the hostile machines and rival Raiders.
How to Enter the Seaside Snaps Contest
To participate, you'll need to head into the Riven Tides area and find your perfect shot. Once you've captured the vibe of a post-apocalyptic getaway, submissions are handled through the official Discord server. Keep these key dates in mind:
- Submission Window: May 16 – May 26, 2026
- Deadline: May 26, 2026
- Platform: Official ARC Raiders Discord
- Reward: 1,150 Raider Tokens per winner
This contest follows the recent drop of the "Castaway" and "Whaler" gear sets, which fit the nautical theme perfectly. Whether you're framing a sunset over rusted shipwrecks or catching the glint of a machine's eye against the sand, make sure to get your entries in before the window closes. It’s a rare chance to earn rewards without having to extract a heavy haul of salvage under fire.
