Arc Raiders
Credit: Embark
Arc Raiders just added a bunch of new content, including a new Trophy Display Player Project, new quests and a couple of cool new Augments. But the most amusing new addition to the game is Bird City, a special map condition on Buried City that promises special loot. How special? Well . . . .
That loot, it turns out, is a bevy of rare, collectible Rubber Ducks. The basic yellow Rubber Duck has been overhauled to look a little shinier and more saturated, and the six new Rubber Ducks all have unique skins. These range from Uncommon to Epic, with the Epic Familiar Duck worth $7,000 credits. All of these can be displayed in your Raider Room.
- Rubber Duck (Common)
- Tropical Duck (Uncommon)
- Gentle Duck (Uncommon)
- Alien Duck (Uncommon)
- Doodly Duck (Rare)
- Flashy Duck (Rare)
- Familiar Duck (Epic)
How To Find Rubber Ducks In ‘Arc Raiders’
In order to find these new collectibles, you’ll need to load into Buried City during the ‘Bird City’ map condition. (Buried City is already a terrific place to find Arc Raiders loot, and especially high-value trinkets like Lance’s Mixtape).
You can check when the next Bird City window is right here. Embark changed the 24 hour map condition rotation, meaning that the times map conditions are available will shift from week-to-week.

Currently, it appears Bird City is available from 4pm – 5pm PT; 12am – 1am PT; and 8am – 9am PT.
Once you’re topside, head to chimneys and look for bird’s nests. There are chimneys all across Buried City, but most of them are on the tiled rooftops of the residential areas like Old Town and West Village. Simply search these chimneys and think happy thoughts. Those duckies will be yours before you know it, though you might want to bring some Seeker Grenades to fend of flying Arc.
You can also sell your ducks, as they do eat up precious inventory space and will continue to do so until Embark decides to give us a separate display stash for collectibles. This game really needs to add a bath in the Raider Room so that your duck collection has somewhere to swim.
Good luck out there, raiders.
