“ARC Raiders” is rolling out its first major update, “The North Line,” on November 13. This update will go live via a community unlock event called “Breaking New Ground,” where players work together to open up a new map.

In this event, players can donate resources to a tunnel restoration project to unlock Stella Montis, the game’s fifth map. Anyone who has played at least five rounds can participate by collecting and contributing basic materials such as metal parts, fabric, chemicals, rubber parts, and plastic parts.

By donating resources, players earn a new event currency called Merits, which is used to progress through the next stages. There is a cap on how many Merits can be earned through donations, but additional contributions will still help Speranza reach Stella Montis more quickly. Once the tunnel restoration is complete and Stella Montis is unlocked, Phase 2 of the event, “Staking Our Claim,” will begin.

The new map, Stella Montis, is a relatively well-preserved abandoned facility tucked deep within the northern mountain range. Raiders will be able to recover rare resources, new gameplay items, and even blueprints for long-lost technology here.

This update also introduces two new ARCs. Matriarch is a massive ARC that appears on specific types of maps and poses an even greater threat than the Queen. Shredder, which debuts in Stella Montis, presents Raiders with a fresh close-quarters combat challenge. On top of that, the update adds one new legendary-grade weapon, three types of mines, two types of grenades, and a set of quests exclusive to Stella Montis.

According to the development team, “The North Line” is only the starting point of the game’s post-launch roadmap. In December, the “Cold Snap” update is scheduled to arrive, featuring the “Flickering Flames” event, a new snowy map environment, and project resets.
