The Converging Paths project landed in ARC Raiders on June 16, 2026 as part of the 1.33.0 update, arriving alongside the Forgotten Relics event and a fresh round of store cosmetics. It runs for a limited time and splits into six stages, mixing combat objectives with donations of resources and rare trinkets you bring back from the Rust Belt.
Quick answer: Clear Stage 1 by dealing 1200 damage to ARC enemies in the Swamp on Dam Battlegrounds, donate the listed trinkets and materials for Stages 2 through 5 in the Projects tab of the Raider menu, then deal damage to ARC with mines or traps to finish Stage 6. Completing all six earns the Rascal II, Surge Coil Blueprint, a Photoelectric Cloak, 300 Raider Tokens, and more.
How the Converging Paths project works
This project ties into a temporary partnership with the Nomadic tribes in the Rust Belt. Your job is to make their travel routes safer by clearing ARC threats and supplying caravans with relics and materials. The trinkets you need are largely the ones surfacing through the Forgotten Relics event, so head topside to recover them.
Stages 1 and 6 are combat tasks that complete automatically as you deal damage. Stages 2 through 5 require item donations. To donate, open the Raider menu, go to the Projects tab, select Converging Paths, and contribute your gathered items. Once a stage’s requirements are met, its rewards unlock and the project advances to the next stage.

Stage 6 is easy to clear without extra effort, since you collect plenty of mines and traps from the earlier stages. Equip a few of those rewards and use them against ARC machines on any map to register the damage.

How to confirm a stage is complete
When you meet a stage’s donation total or hit the damage threshold, the Converging Paths entry in the Projects tab updates and releases that stage’s rewards. The combat stages track progress as you fight, so check the project screen after a raid to confirm the damage registered. A countdown timer also appears when you select the project, showing exactly how much time is left.
When the Converging Paths project ends
The project is available for roughly six weeks from its June 16, 2026 release, with the in-game countdown running into late July 2026. Patch notes point to an end date of July 27, 2026, so treat the in-game timer as the authority and finish before it closes. Once the window ends, the project and all of its rewards are gone permanently, so gather the trinkets and donate them while you still can.
