Arc Raiders‘ new Avian Alarm project is almost just like any other project, demanding you donate a bunch of random materials to complete each stage. However, the first step is actually more like a quest, where you’ll have to lay a bird trap next to buoys in the new Riven Tides map.
Once you’ve done this initial step checking on the flock, you’re back to finding resources to equip your birds with everything they need. Which is actually just training to look out for signs of danger, like seismic activity. Having a bird brain is handy, it turns out.
Arc Raiders bird trap location

The location you’re looking for is northeast of the Port Authority Building at the top of the Riven Tide map, which is quite far from the Seabed clue you’re given. Head down to the dried-up seabed, next to the sea wall outside the Port Authority Building, and you’ll see a large red buoy jutting out of the sand.

Next to the buoy, you’ll see multiple locations to lay the bird trap. Just pick one and interact with the prompt to place it. You don’t need to bring any special items into the match to complete this task, despite how it sounds.
Given how close this location is to Stacking Yard, it’s a good opportunity to complete steps in both the Shoring Up Defenses and Battening Down quests from Apollo that introduce you to the new map.
Once you’ve placed your trap and returned to Speranza, return to the Avian Alarm project page to mark it off. You can then start donating materials for the remaining four stages, beginning with:
- 7x Tick Pod
- 20x Canister
- 12x Moss
- 5x Twilight Compass Ship Models (that’s the green-quality ones)
