Bird City pops up when ARC Raiders shakes things up with shifting map rules. The Headwinds patch dropped this odd setup out of nowhere. Danger sticks around longer than expected in these zones. Rewards sometimes outweigh the chaos, though luck plays its part.
Bird City runs on a simple system – spotting nests leads to rewards. Hidden across different areas, those nests show up if you know where to look. Getting them boosts your coins faster than most options around.

Warm light coats everything when the Bird City map appears – only possible within Buried City. Sand hangs heavy, slipping through the sky and dulling what you can see.

- Significantly more Birds
- Additional Ziplines across rooftops
- Bird Nests spawning inside chimneys
In-Game Description
“Flocks of birds have been spotted around Buried City, gathering around chimneys for what many assume to be nefarious reasons.”

Locations of Bird Nests in ARC Raiders
Bird nests tucked into chimneys? That’s what makes Bird City stand out.
Top Spots for Bird Nests
- Buried City – Old Town rooftops
- Chimneys located on top of residential buildings
A few chimneys stay empty, yet finding those with nests makes all the difference.
Chimneys That Have Nests
| Chimney Type | What It Means |
| No birds nearby | No nest inside |
| Birds perched on or circling | Nest with valuable loot |
Once you find an active chimney:
- Climb onto the roof
- Approach the chimney
- Interact with it to loot the nest
Now and then, you will come across valuable loot. Moving across rooftops gets simpler thanks to extra ziplines added just for this time.

These ducks are usually found inside chimney nests.
What They’re Used For?

Your choice to hold on to them or turn them into money.
Increase in ARC Activities During Bird City
Flying machines now patrol Bird City more than before.
Watch These Signs
- More Drone ARCs
- Increased Snitch patrols
- Heavy rooftop surveillance
That changes everything when grabbing loot from chimneys. You will wait longer, eyes locked on the sky, moving only when gaps appear between patrols.
