The Converging Paths Project in ARC Raiders Update 1.33 is one of the most structured limited-time progression events added to the game so far. Running alongside the Forgotten Relics activity, it forms part of a two-track seasonal system where players can earn cosmetics, consumables, high-end gear, and a large amount of Raider Tokens simply by completing normal gameplay objectives.
The event runs from June 16 to July 27, 2026, and is divided into six stages. Each stage focuses on a different gameplay theme, gradually increasing in difficulty and reward quality as players move deeper into the progression chain. At the same time, the overlapping Forgotten Relics Event adds a separate 21-tier reward track that progresses through XP gains and extraction of rare items.
Converging Paths Stage-by-Stage Rewards
The structure of the Converging Paths Project is straightforward. Each stage unlocks a fixed reward bundle once completed, meaning players always know what they are working toward.
Stage 1: Secure Safe Passage
Early progression is focused on basic survival tools and light utility equipment.
Rewards include 3 Pulse Mines, 3 Lure Grenade Traps, and 25 Raider Tokens.
Stage 2: Collect Supplies
This stage expands combat and control options with early explosive tools.
Rewards include 3 Smoke Grenade Traps, 3 Explosive Mines, and 25 Raider Tokens.
Stage 3: Procure Relics
At this point, the event begins introducing higher-value combat gear.
Rewards include 3 Blaze Grenade Traps, 3 Jolt Mines, 1 Rascal II Rocket/Grenade Launcher, and 50 Raider Tokens.
Stage 4: Create Emergency Caches
This stage emphasizes tactical preparation and area control tools.
Rewards include 3 Surge Coils, 3 Blaze Grenade Traps, 3 Explosive Mines, and 50 Raider Tokens.
Stage 5: Finish the Cabinet of Curiosities
Here the event shifts toward advanced loadout upgrades and cosmetic progression.
Rewards include Combat MK.3 (Flanking) Augment, Photoelectric Cloak, Bobcat II weapon, and 50 Raider Tokens.
Stage 6: Use Nomad Tactics to Fight ARC
The final stage delivers the most unique cosmetic and blueprint rewards in the entire chain.
Rewards include Sextant Backpack Charm, Red-Black Saltwalker Outfit Color, 100 Raider Tokens, and a Surge Coil Blueprint.
Across all six stages, players earn a total of 275 Raider Tokens directly from Converging Paths. When combined with overlapping seasonal objectives, the full event ecosystem can push total token earnings to around 300 for active players.
Overlapping Forgotten Relics Track Rewards
Running in parallel with Converging Paths is the Forgotten Relics Event in Forgotten Relics Event. This system works differently, relying on XP gains and extraction-based progression rather than fixed stage completion.
As players explore Topside, complete missions, and extract rare trinkets, they earn Merits that advance a 21-tier reward track. While many rewards are utility-based or cosmetic, several standout items make the track particularly valuable for long-term progression.
Key rewards include:
Unlike the Converging Paths structure, this track encourages consistent play over time rather than stage-based completion. It rewards exploration, combat engagement, and extraction success, making it naturally aligned with standard gameplay loops.
Overall Event Value and Progression Impact
Taken together, both event tracks create one of the most reward-dense periods in ARC Raiders’ seasonal cycle. Converging Paths provides guaranteed, structured rewards including weapons, augments, and a large token payout, while Forgotten Relics adds long-term cosmetic progression tied to natural gameplay.
For most players, the biggest value comes from the combination of both systems. The guaranteed items from each stage help fill out early and mid-game loadouts, while the parallel relic track offers exclusive cosmetics that cannot be obtained through normal gameplay.
With nearly 300 Raider Tokens available across the full event cycle and multiple high-tier items distributed throughout both tracks, Update 1.33 stands out as a major progression milestone for active players looking to optimize both power and customization in ARC Raiders.
