I dropped into Riven Tides expecting firefights and loot, not a boarded-up club humming with potential. For a brief second I almost turned away—then I saw the broken speaker and the stairs leading down. The place felt like a time capsule waiting for someone to press play.
I’ve chased easter eggs across maps for years, and this one is small but satisfying. You don’t need fancy gear or a patch-note trick; you need two batteries and a little curiosity. Read on and I’ll walk you through every step so you can bring the Disco back to life yourself.
There is no POI labeled “Disco” on the Riven Tides map — ARC Raiders Disco event easter egg location
When you scan the western sector of Riven Tides you’ll notice the Hotel Panorama Azzurro, but not a Disco POI. That’s because the club is hidden inside the hotel basement, in the southeastern corner of the building.
You enter through the hotel and drop down the stairs into the basement. The club is clearly dilapidated: torn curtains, a dark stage, a smashed speaker. If you’ve played ARC Raiders on PC or checked community threads on Reddit or Discord, you may have seen screenshots—but the in-game discovery is more satisfying.
Where exactly is the Disco Club in Riven Tides?
The Disco Club sits under Hotel Panorama Azzurro, in the hotel’s southeastern basement. Drop into the western map quadrant and head to the hotel’s bottom floor—follow the stairs down and keep right toward the stage area.
The Disco looks like it’s been stripped for parts — How to trigger the easter egg
The room has two interact points that are visibly damaged: a speaker on the stage’s right and a switch mounted on the left wall up the small staircase. You must repair both to start the event.
Bring at least two battery items with you before the raid. I always stash them in a quick slot when I’m queuing on Steam or checking loadouts on PC. When you reach the stage, approach the broken speaker and use a battery to repair it. Then climb the short flight of stairs to the left and slot a second battery into the broken switch.
How do you activate the Disco Event in ARC Raiders?
After both repairs you can interact with the switch to spin the disco ball and the speaker to start music. The sequence is simple: battery in speaker, battery in switch, flip the switch, then click the speaker. The lights and music kick in and the space turns into a proper ’80s flashback—watch for other players who might stumble on it during a raid.
The disco is a pure cosmetic easter egg. There are no loot drops tied to the celebration, so it’s a social reward more than a grindable objective. Community posts on Reddit and Discord often share clips and timing tips if you care about recording the moment for your montage.
Are there rewards for completing the Disco event?
No mechanical rewards are tied to this easter egg. If you’re hunting for XP or a rare drop, this won’t pay out. If your metric is fun, style, or a shared in-match moment, the payoff can still be high.
The basement was a time capsule: dusty booths, a dead stage, and the ghost of a playlist. Fixing the speaker and switch is fast—two batteries and a few seconds of attention—and the payoff is immediate when the lights hit.
Activating the switch felt like striking a match in a dark room; everything snaps into place and the scene becomes something else. I’ve shown this to squad mates on PC and Xbox, and it still draws a laugh every time.
You can treat this as a curiosity or a moment to meme—either way, it’s one of those tiny touches that makes ARC Raiders worth poking around. Should the developers add a tangible reward to answers like this, or is the shared surprise enough to keep players returning to hidden spaces?
