Key locations on Riven Tides
Hotel Panorama Azzurro stands out as a prime spot for Velocity and other models.
This faded beachside resort south of Azzurro Beach features multiple rooms with furniture where models appear—think sofas in hallways, chairs, and tables across the ground floor and upper levels. Shipping containers near the port also yield related models like Sirena Dorata, but interiors favor Velocity spawns.
How to find the Velocity Ship Model
Head to Riven Tides early in the match when competition is low. Focus on residential and hotel areas for the best odds, as models sit on everyday surfaces without glowing or markers.
Step 1: Drop into Riven Tides
Land near Azzurro Beach or the western coast to reach Hotel Panorama Azzurro quickly. Use gliders or dropships for speed.
Step 2: Enter Hotel Panorama Azzurro
Approach from the south beach entrance. Clear the ground floor first, watching for ARC enemies like the new Turbine.
Step 3: Search ground floor sofas and chairs
Scan hallways and lounges meticulously. From the ground floor, take the stairs up.
Velocity often appears on a sofa in the northeast hallway section.
Interact when prompted; it’s line-of-sight only.
Step 4: Check upper floors and side rooms
Move upstairs to desks, window ledges, shelves, and more chairs. Multiple spawns are possible per run.
Step 5: Extract safely
Grab nearby points like Customs Elevator at Customs House. Prioritize early grabs to evade players.

Tips for efficient farming
Beachcombing map conditions boost model drops from beach caches using Dockmaster’s Detector north of Port Authority. Run multiple drops, team up for clears, and check every surface in hotels or offices—no audio cues, so thorough looting pays off.
Stock up on Velocity models to unlock Avian Alarm rewards like Anvil gear upgrades while climbing event pages. With Riven Tides’ dynamic spawns, persistence turns RNG into reliable Merit gains—happy raiding.
