Step 1
Farm merits with a stop-loss rule
Last Resort gives returning players a clear reason to log in, but event farming gets expensive when every run turns into a full-send. Decide what counts as enough progress before risking a better kit.
Separate quick XP runs from ship model collection routes.
Bank progress when the squad has already hit the run objective.
Watch Patch Watch before assuming weekly values or event details are unchanged.
Step 2
Use community prompts to find event groups
Event farming is easier when expectations are clear. Post whether you are doing fast XP, ship model searches, or safe extract streaks so teammates know when to avoid unnecessary fights.
Use the squad finder for XP/event-route groups.
Use reports for safe extract or route intel, not accusations.
Use trades only for specific item asks tied to event prep.
Quick FAQ
What should I prioritize for Last Resort merits?
Prioritize the fastest repeatable objective your squad can extract from safely. If ship model routes are too contested, switch to simpler XP and survival runs.
Where should I check for Last Resort changes?
Check RaidersHub Patch Watch and official ARC Raiders updates before farming, because event details can change faster than evergreen guides.
