Rain chisels the horizon and a single buoy blinks below the surface—your project meter hasn’t moved. You catch a flock by the docks, hands full of parts, and realize the clock is louder than the sea. You can feel the FOMO: get the pieces in now or watch someone else walk away with the Anvil IV.
A gull circles over a buoy: How to complete the Avian Alarm Project in Arc Raiders
I’ve tracked dozens of community projects and you can treat this one like a plan with stages—five, to be exact. The Avian Alarm replaces the older three-stage efforts; this one asks for more materials, including the collectible miniature ship models that drop in the Last Resort event. You give items, the project fills, and the world rewards contributors.

Stage layout at a glance: this project runs across five stages and asks both common components and event-limited ship models. If you want the Dockmaster’s Detector early, you’ll need to contribute to Stage 1; if the Anvil IV is your target, push through to Stage 3 and beyond. Keep your eyes on the buoys and traps—you’ll want to watch them like a weather vane in a gale.

How do I complete the Avian Alarm project in Arc Raiders?
You gather and donate the listed materials across five stages. Open the Raider menu, switch to the Projects tab, select Avian Alarm and start contributing. Ship models come from the Last Resort event; other components drop from Riven Tides loot nodes, enemy drops, and vendor swaps.
What rewards does the Avian Alarm offer?
The headline pieces: Dockmaster’s Detector, Anvil IV (one of the best weapons in-game), cosmetic items, and a total of 250x Raider Tokens across all stages. There are also utilities like the Bird House backpack attachment and fun emotes. If you play on Steam, Xbox, or PlayStation, coordinate via the Arc Raiders Discord and subreddit to speed up collection runs.
The in-game timer is counting down: When will the Avian Alarm Project end?
The Projects UI shows a deadline: May 26, 2026. That gives you roughly a month from the update drop to gather parts and donate. Past projects sometimes closed without a timer; this one warns you explicitly—treat that as your deadline.
When does the Avian Alarm project end?
May 26, 2026. After that date the project closes and any unfinished rewards vanish from the current rotation. If you want the Anvil IV or the 100-token Stage 5 drop, plan a few group runs in Riven Tides and prioritize event ship models while the Last Resort event is active.
Quick tactical tips: farm the Seabed for traps and buoys, trade surplus mats on community channels, and queue missions with friends to double up drops. Use Steam guides, the Arc Raiders Discord, and active Reddit threads for spawn routes and group invites.
I’ll leave you with one choice: are you going to hoard parts like a jeweler sorting gems or spend them chasing emotes—what will you choose?
