ARC Raiders Headwinds update adds a dynamic event to the daily rotation called "Bird City." It's a Buried City exclusive event that brings back the birds of the city back to their nests on top of abandoned houses. Players will be able to loot these nests to get various rewards, including new Rubber Duck trinkets. Here's a quick guide on the best locations to farm nests during the Bird City event, and all the Rubber Ducks you can get at this event.
ARC Raiders: Bombing Run Quest Guide
The Bombing Run quest in ARC Raiders will need players to take down a Bombardier and acquire its cells for Shani to get an emote and Raider Tokens.
What Should You Do in the Bird City Event in ARC Raiders (Best Farm Locations)
During the Bird City event in ARC Raiders, players will need to get on top of the abandoned houses and search inside the chimneys on the Buried City map.
Simply head to the group of houses marked on the map image above to maximize the number of chimneys you can loot. One out of every three chimneys has a chance to spawn a nest inside, which you can interact with to start searching.
It's recommended to bring a Snap Hook with you while hunting for nests inside chimneys to cross the gaps between roofs easily. This will significantly speed up your looting process.
The nests found inside chimneys in Bird City can contain various loot items like crafting components, trinkets, volcanic rocks, organic items like fruits, and valuable trinkets. This is also the only method to acquire the new Rubber Duck trinket collection that's been added in the update.
If you spawn mid-match, it's best to extract out of the raid and restart. By the time you spawn, there's a high chance most of the chimneys will already be looted, and you'll only be wasting the limited time you have before the Bird City event ends.
All Rubber Duck Trinkets in Bird City Event in ARC Raiders
There are five new Rubber Duck trinket variants that have been added to ARC Raiders in the Headwinds update. These can only be acquired during the new Bird City event, and here's a complete list of all the Rubber Ducks in the game.
However, their use remains the same, which is either being used as a decorative ornament in the Raider den or the ability to make noise when thrown to distract raiders and ARC machines.
