Where to Find Moss in ARC Raiders — Riven Tides Has It All

Moss shows up across several maps, but if you need a stack quickly, there's one obvious answer: Riven Tides. The new map has the highest concentration of moss spawns in the game right now — humid coastal environment, overgrown surfaces, more than you'll ever need in a single run if you know where to look.

TL;DR

  • Riven Tides is your best run. Highest moss density in the game — you can get enough for the project in a single run.
  • Moss grows on dead tree barks — fallen logs and dead trees scattered around the Dried Riverbed area.
  • All spawn locations are pinned on the interactive map — open the map with the moss filter to see every confirmed spot.
  • Moss also spawns on other maps, but in smaller quantities — come back for those guides as they're tested.

What Moss Is Used For

Moss growing on dead tree bark in ARC Raiders on Riven Tides

Moss is a foraging resource used in crafting Defibrillators and Scrappy upgrades. It feeds into several upgrade chains that are worth completing before the event deadline — so it's worth keeping a decent stockpile even after you've cleared the immediate requirements.

Where to Farm: Riven Tides

On Riven Tides, moss grows on dead tree barks — fallen logs and dead trees lying around the map. They're scattered across the terrain rather than clustered in buildings, so keep an eye on the ground while moving between POIs. The interact prompt only appears with line of sight and proximity, so don't sprint past.

Every confirmed spawn is pinned on the interactive map. Run the pins in order and you'll be done before the map gets crowded.

Other Maps

Moss does appear on other maps in smaller quantities. We'll be adding location pins and dedicated sections as more spawns are confirmed — check back during the event. For now, Riven Tides is the only map worth making a dedicated moss run on.

Quick Tips

  • Look for fallen logs and dead trees. Moss grows on dead bark lying on the ground — not on walls or rocks.
  • No glow, no audio. You need to be close enough for the interact prompt. Walk, don't sprint past downed trees.
  • Use the interactive map to plan a route — each pin has a screenshot so you can pre-visualize the spot.
