The hype is real with ARC Raiders and if we didn’t already adore it enough, the folks at Embark Studios are already launching new content with The North Line Update. What’s new in The North Line Update? Check out all the new content coming November 13th!
On November 13, the Community Unlock Event “Breaking New Ground” begins. In this event, players are asked to contribute resources to the tunnel project. In Speranza, nothing comes for free, and the tunnel project is no different. Basic Materials must be collected and donated for the restoration of the tunnels to reach the fifth map: Stella Montis. Any player that has played at least five rounds can participate in this community effort.
Map unlock: Stella Montis
Carved deep into the northern mountains, Stella Montis tempts Raiders to explore an abandoned facility that remains relatively well-preserved compared to the wreckage of the lower Rust Belt. Cold and sterile, these ruins hint at what humanity left behind in its push towards the stars.
The reconnection of the tunnels to Stella Montis will trigger the opening of Phase II, “Staking Our Claim.” This is a new progression track with personal rewards and challenges, and will run for a limited time until December.
New ARC enemies, gameplay items, and more
Raiders who investigate Stella Montis will recover rare resources, new gameplay items, maybe even schematics for long-lost technology.
The North Line update also introduces two new ARC enemies, each bringing distinct challenges to those who are brave enough to venture topside. The Matriarch is an imposing ARC machine that makes the Queen look friendly and can be found during a specific map condition. The Shredder will first appear in Stella Montis, challenging Raiders to stay sharp in close-quarter encounters.
New ARC:
Matriarch
Shredder
New Weapon and Gameplay Items:
New legendary weapon
Three new mines
Two new grenades
New Stella Montis Quests
Looking ahead
The North Line is just the beginning of the ARC Raiders post-launch roadmap. The next update, Cold Snap, arrives this December which introduces the “Flickering Flames” event, a new snowfall Map Condition, the awaited Expedition Project Raider reset, and more.
