Overview
- Riven Tides launched Tuesday, April 28 across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in what multiple outlets call the game’s biggest update in months.
- The new Riven Tides map on the western Rust Belt adds a Beachcombing condition that uses the Dockmaster’s Detector to sweep sand for buried loot at the cost of a weapon slot and open‑beach exposure.
- Players can now hunt the ARC Turbine, a massive flying machine that stays calm until approached and then forces a tracking fight, while new Crash Mat and Powered Descender items help negate fall damage.
- Limited-time content is live with the Last Resort event running April 28–May 25 that converts match XP into Merits for cosmetics and Raider Tokens, plus the five‑stage Avian Alarm project that unlocks the Detector and other rewards.
- Progression and tech shift with a 13‑day Expedition window through May 11 that pays skill points for damage dealt and offers a late “Last Call” join option, PS5 Pro gains sharper PSSR upscaling, weapon durability and economy are rebalanced, and Trials Season 4 begins April 29.
