Arc Raiders has been a major success for Embark Studios. The new PvPvE extraction shooter has brought in a record number of players across all platforms. Bridging the gap between casual and hardcore extraction shooters, players can get enough of Arc Raiders.
With hundreds of hours of content in the game already, Embark Studios is gearing up to release the first major update of the game, the North Line update. Here's a detailed look at everything new in the North Line update and its release date.
Everything New in the Arc Raiders North Line Update
The first major update of Arc Raiders is adding a truckload of new content for players to enjoy. The main attraction of this update is the new Stella Montis map, which is the game's official expansion to the north side of the current world map. Alongside the new map, players will also get new additional Stella Montis quests.
While Stella Montis will be added to the game with the update, players must participate in a new Breaking Ground community event to unlock it. Embark Studios has adopted the popular community unlock approach from Helldivers 2.
Raiders can also expect to see the new Arcs, Matriarch and Shredder. The new Arcs are reportedly large in size and more aggressive than the current roster of Arcs. To help players deal with these new Arcs, Embark has added the following new weapons, grenades, and mines:
- Weapons
- Aphelion Rifle (Legendary Energy Ammo Weapon)
- Grenades
- Trailblazer Grenade
- Seeker Grenade
- Mines
- Pulse Mine
- Deadline Mine
- Gas Mine
