The Bird City event in ARC Raiders is potentially one of the most profitable events that you can take advantage of right now, as the rooftops of the Buried City are filled with valuable loot. Each chimney in this area has a high chance of dropping rare rubber ducks, which can be sold for a high Coin price. In this guide, we will provide more details on this map event and how you can break the bank.
Bird City Spawn Schedule
This event appears in the Buried City map every 8 hours and lasts for 1 hour. For all regional servers, this event happens at 12 am and 4 pm.
How Does The Event Work
The Bird City event increases the amount of valuable trinkets that you can loot in the Buried City, but these only appear in certain chimneys on the rooftops of houses. Usually, there will be a flock of birds nesting on the rooftops, which marks which chimney is lootable. You can also tell if a chimney can be looted if there is a bird nest inside. Some chimneys can still be looted, even without birds nesting on a rooftop.
📌Note: Beware, as there will also be increased Wasp and Hornet spawns in Buried City, and you’ll be exposed when looting the chimneys.
Bird City Farming Guide
One of the best items you can bring to Bird City runs is the Snap Hook, as some rooftops in Buried City are inaccessible without it. Since Snap Hooks are extremely rare, make sure to also equip a Looting Mk. 2 or Mk. 3 augment so you can slot the Snap Hook in a safe pocket and never lose it in an unlucky run.
💡Tip: When queueing up, it’s best to queue up with a cheap loadout instead of using the Free Loadout, as you can spawn early in a run and get a better chance to loot the chimneys.
