With the latest update 1.33.0, a new project was introduced in ARC Raiders. What you need to know about “Crossing Paths” and how to complete it, you will find out here.
What is Crossing Paths? Crossing Paths is a new project where you need to collect specific materials – similar to the Bird Alarm. The ARC operations spread across the Rust Belt, and the nomads have agreed to share their knowledge. However, you must gather supplies to give the nomads safe passage.
What you specifically need to collect for Crossing Paths and what rewards await you upon completion will be revealed here.
The project started on June 16, 2026, as part of update 1.33.0. You can find the detailed patch notes on arcraiders.com. Besides the new player project, an event, adjustments to map conditions, and bug fixes for ARC Raiders were also introduced.
How to complete the “Crossing Paths” project
The project is divided into a total of six stages. In four steps, you need to deliver different materials, and you will be rewarded for each completed stage. If you want to farm specific items, you can track these using the pin function. However, note that submitted materials are reserved for the project and cannot be reclaimed.
The further you progress in the project, the better the rewards will be, but it will also get more challenging to gather the resources.
Here are the steps you need to go through to successfully complete the project:

How long does the project run? In addition to the stage selection, a yellow timer will be displayed, counting down to the end of the project. You have until July 27, 2026, to complete all stages. However, since you earn rewards for each stage individually, it is certainly worthwhile to gather as much as you can.
That was all the important information you need to know about the “Crossing Paths” project. Will you participate in the project and gather materials for the nomads? Feel free to share your thoughts on the update in the comments. In a previous patch, ARC Raiders had to lower the price of an important feature because you were too greedy.
