Riven Tides is the ARC Raiders coastal map added in update 1.26.0 on Apr 28, 2026. Its best loot is at the Hotel Panorama Azzurro, opened room by room with six Hotel Keycards, and the Port Authority Building. Update 2.0 raised its loot value by about 15%.
Riven Tides is the ARC Raiders coastal map added on Apr 28, 2026 in update 1.26.0: a deserted shoreline on the western coast of the Rust Belt, abandoned twice, once during the Exodus and again by First Wave survivors who could not hold it against ARC. Its best loot is at the Hotel Panorama Azzurro and the Port Authority Building, and update 2.0 raised the map's overall loot value by about 15%. For what else the update brought, see Riven Tides Update. In the clip Embark explains the name: an Italian beach torn apart by Exodus building and ARC.

The same update spread Exodus recyclables more evenly across containers. Named places also include the Field Depot, which counts for the Off the Radar quest since 1.27.0, and the Harbor.
Hotel Keycards and other keys
The hotel is opened room by room:
| Key | What it opens |
|---|---|
| Hotel Keycard No. 107 | First-floor room, Panorama Azzurro |
| Hotel Keycard No. 113 | First-floor room, Panorama Azzurro |
| Hotel Keycard No. 205 | Second-floor room, Panorama Azzurro |
| Hotel Keycard No. 208 | Second-floor room, Panorama Azzurro |

| Crane House Keycard | Crane House doors at the Harbor |
Source: Dexerto's key list, Apr 29, 2026. Quest rewards can start you off: Battening Down pays a Hotel Keycard No. 107 (PC Gamer, May 1, 2026). Older guides place a Patrol Car Key on The Blue Gate; see that page for the conflict. All keys are on Keys.
Beachcombing and other conditions
Beachcombing is a minor condition exclusive to this map: sweep the Dockmaster's Detector across the sand to dig up buried loot, and Embark says the richest ground is out in the open. The detector came as a reward of the Avian Alarm project, which had Raiders deploy Bird Cages at buoys along this coast, and from the quest Shoring Up Defenses.
The tracker also schedules Uncovered Caches here (read Oct 31, 2026), though no reliable source says what it changes. Update 2.2.0 made the ARC Turbine near-certain in Riven Tides sessions where it was only a chance before. The Turbine came with this map and drifts peacefully until disturbed; TheGamer says it appears after at least 15 minutes and leaves when ten remain (Apr 30, 2026). See Flying ARC and Map Conditions. In the clip an Embark designer says to stay in the open against the Turbine, since tight spots are likely to kill you.
Getting out
Shacknews's hatch list predates this map, and no reliable source read on Oct 31, 2026 gives Riven Tides hatch positions or its standard exits: read them off the in-game map. How exits work is on Extraction and Raider Hatches. The map's own quest chain is on Update Quests.
