The Riven Tides update snuck in one of the more entertaining secrets in ARC Raiders: a fully functional Disco Club hiding in the basement of a crumbling hotel. Solve a short two-step puzzle and the whole place lights up, complete with a disco ball and music. There are no rewards for pulling it off, but that's not really the point. Some things are worth doing just because they exist.
Where is the Disco Club in ARC Raiders Riven Tides?
The Disco Club isn't marked on the map as its own point of interest. You'll find it tucked inside Hotel Panorama Azzurro, which sits in the western section of the Riven Tides map. Once you're at the hotel, head to the southeastern part of the building and take the stairs down to the basement. The Disco is down there, according to Destructoid's guide published April 28, 2026.
First time you walk in, the place looks completely wrecked. That's your cue to get to work.

Bring two batteries with you before you start the raid. You'll need one for each repair step, and hunting for them mid-raid wastes time you could spend on actual looting.
How do you trigger the Disco event easter egg?
The puzzle requires repairing two broken pieces of equipment: a speaker and a switch. Each repair costs one battery, so two total. Here's the exact sequence:
- Head to the stage inside the Disco Club.
- Look to the right of the stage for a broken speaker. Walk up to it and use the interaction prompt to repair it with a battery.
- Turn left and take the stairs. At the top, look at the left wall for a broken switch.
- Repair the switch with your second battery.
- Interact with the switch to activate the disco ball.
- Interact with the speaker to start the music.
Once both interactions are complete, the Disco Club comes back to life. The disco ball spins, the music plays, and the whole basement transforms into something straight out of the '80s, per Embark Studios' design.

Don't drop into the raid expecting to farm this for loot. As confirmed by Destructoid, there are no rewards tied to completing the Disco event. It's a pure easter egg.
What do you need to bring?
The prep list is short, but skipping it will cost you.
That's the full checklist. Two batteries, that's it. Grab them before you load into the raid and you can complete the whole sequence without backtracking.
The Disco Club is located in the basement of Hotel Panorama Azzurro, not in a standalone POI. If you're searching the map for a "Disco" marker, you won't find one.
Is the Disco easter egg worth doing?
Honestly, yes, even without rewards. Easter eggs like this are how you learn a map's hidden geometry, and Hotel Panorama Azzurro is a western-map POI worth knowing well regardless. The fact that Embark Studios hid a fully animated disco sequence in the basement of a ruined hotel says something about how much care went into the Riven Tides update.
Just don't go in expecting a loot drop at the end. The payoff is the atmosphere, not the inventory screen.
