The Arc Raiders Avian Alarm project mixes things up a little compared to previous projects, because it now has a quest-style objective you must also complete in the first step. It isn't particularly complex, but it does require you to go to a specific location, then the following steps all require resources and offer various rewards.

Here's everything you need to know about the Avian Alarm project in Arc Raiders, including where to go to lay a bird trap on Riven Tides.

There are five steps to the Avian Alarm project in total.

This is the first ever objective-based step for a project in Arc Raiders, and it wants you to lay a bird trap next to the buoys along the Seabed on Riven Tides. That's a long objective name for what is actually quite simple, you just need to know where to go.

The Seabed is in the northwest of the map, next to the Port Authority Building, but the specific location you're looking for is actually to the northeast of that location, between it and the Wavebreaker point of interest. You'll find an enormous beached buoy and if you approach, a blue hologram indicator of where to lay a bird trap will appear. Interact with it to complete this task.

For completing this, you'll receive one Dockmaster's Detector, and 25 Raider Tokens.
