🗺️ New Rubber Ducks Map: Bird Nest Spawn Locations
The new rubber ducks spawn in bird nests on chimney tops across Buried City during the Bird City map condition. I've marked all potential spawn locations where you can find the new ducks on the map below:
What is the Bird City Event & Where to Find New Ducks?
Bird City is a new map condition for Buried City that introduces 6 new rubber ducks to Arc Raiders. When this condition is active, bird nests spawn on chimney tops throughout the map - specifically on Italian-style buildings with those iconic terracotta roofs, but not on the modern-style buildings. These nests are where you'll find all the new rubber ducks.
I've mapped all of the chimneys that can spawn bird nests with the new ducks, making it easy to plan your looting route and collect all the new rubber duck variations while maximizing your coin gains per run.
💰 New Rubber Ducks = Massive Coin Farming
This event is excellent for building up your coin stash thanks to the new rubber ducks. One 25-minute run netted me 165,000 coins worth of loot just from the chimneys and nests with the new ducks.
The new rubber ducks range from 1,000 to 7,000 coins each, making this perfect for maintaining high coin counts during expeditions or saving up to buy items from traders.

All 6 New Rubber Ducks Arc Raiders
The developers added five new rubber ducks to the existing yellow duck for the Bird City event. Here are all the new ducks in Arc Raiders with their rarities and coin values (click to view details):
The real value of this event is the trinket spawns. During my run, I collected several of each type of duck, multiple high-value trinkets like Lance's Mixtape and Breathtaking Snow Globe, and dozens of lower-value items. They all add up fast when you're hitting nest after nest.
🎯 Efficient Bird Nest Farming Strategy
Don't waste time trying to loot every chimney on the map - other players will beat you to it. Here's my strategy for maximizing loot per run:
- Go looting near your spawn - Head to the nearest cluster of Italian-style buildings
- Focus on your immediate area - Other players may have already cleared distant spots
- Hit chimneys quickly - Don't get sidetracked by other loot unless it's right there
- Extract early - Get out with your haul before you run into PvP
- Repeat - Fresh spawns every raid is better than competing for leftovers
⚠️ Italian-Style Buildings Only
Bird nests only spawn on Italian-style buildings with traditional architecture. They do not spawn on modern-style buildings. Use the interactive map linked above to see exactly which buildings can have nests.
💡 Bird Nest Farming Tips
- Use the interactive map - The map linked above shows all nest spawn locations with filters enabled for easy planning
- Don't overstay - Extract with 100-150k worth of loot rather than risking it for a full 200k run
- Learn the building types - After a few runs, you'll recognize Italian-style buildings instantly
- Stack your backpack with space - Trinkets take up inventory slots, so bring minimal gear if you're purely farming
- Check rooftops from ground level - You can often see nests from the street and plan your route accordingly
📊 Is Bird City Worth Farming?
Absolutely. If you need coins, this is one of the best events to farm. My 165,000 coin run was just from chimneys - I didn't even hit the main loot buildings or fight any players. That's pure passive farming value.
The event is especially valuable if you're:
- Building up coins for trader purchases
- Maintaining a high coin count during expeditions
- Farming Scrappy food (fruits) alongside coin loot
- Looking for a lower-risk farming route compared to high-tier loot zones
Plus, the nests are usually uncontested compared to the main buildings that everyone rushes to. Lower risk, consistent rewards.
