Want to know the best location to farm Moss quickly in Arc Raiders for the Avian Alert Project in the Riven Tides update? The new massive map is here, and it comes with several new projects to complete along the way. One of them is Avian Alert, and it's all about birds and their habitats. In this guide, you'll learn the best Moss farm spot in Arc Raiders on the Riven Tides map to collect 12x Moss in a single round!
Preliminary Signal Birds - Arc Raiders Avian Alert
The second phase of the Avian Alert Project, called Preliminary Signal Birds, will have you collect all sorts of items in order to progress. This includes 7 Tick Pods (acquired by destroying and looting Ticks), 20 Canisters, which can be found scattered around industrial POIs, 5 Twilight Compass ship models (exclusive to the new Riven Tides map), and 12 patches of Moss.
Of these, finding over 12 Moss patches seems like the hardest part... or is it? Plants have traditionally been very hard to find in Arc Raiders and even harder to farm. Anyone who has been grinding veggies for their Scrappy knows this all too well. However, what if I told you there's an insanely easy way to collect 12x Moss in a single round, in less than 10 minutes of farming? Read on to learn how.

Best Moss Farming Spot for Avian Alert Project in Arc Raiders
The best spot to farm Moss in Arc Raiders is actually the new Riven Tides map. If you're lucky and quick, you'll be able to grab all 12 patches of Moss in a single run in less than 10 minutes. In particular, the moment you drop onto the map, you'll want to head toward the Dried Riverbed POI - that's where you'll find dozens of patches of Moss.
This is a dried-up river that runs from the southwest corner of the map to the central area, passing between the Tennis Court, Customs House, and Hotel Panorama Azzurro POIs, and continuing down to the Port Authority Building. There are a massive number of Moss patches both inside and around what was once the river. Just look for boulders protruding from the riverbed or tree trunks lying on the ground; you’ll easily spot Moss on them, ready to be collected.

And that's about it, really. I've managed to collect the required 12 Moss patches in a single round, and I'm sure there was even more Moss lying around to be collected; it's simply the best Moss farm spot in Arc Raiders. This may be nerfed in the future, so if you want to farm Moss quickly, head to the Dried Riverbed POI before it's too late.
Preliminary Signal Birds Rewards
Once you complete this stage of the project (commit 7 Tick Pods, 5 Twilight Compass ship models, 12 patches of Moss, and 20 Canisters), you will receive the following rewards:
- x25 Raider Token
- Heavy Gun Parts Blueprint
