From a new map to new ARCs to fight, Arc Raiders has the new North Line update coming. With the game not even being out for a month, there is already a lot to do. Now, with the first big update coming, more is being stacked onto the game. While you may be deep into your Expeditions progress (like I am), there are some new things to look forward to. The North Line update shows that Embark Studios is going into high gear with supporting Arc Raiders. And a lot of us couldn’t be happier. With the update announcement still being fresh, we have the details on it for you. From when it launches to what new additions there are. That way, when you hop on the game later, whether solo or with friends, you can get hyped. Everything that is included in the Arc Raiders update is found below.
Everything Included in the North Line Update for Arc Raiders
New Additions
The most noticeable right away are the new additions that are coming with the North Line update. More specifically, that of the Stella Montis region that players can travel to. However, that is not the only thing coming. New weapons and enemies are coming along for the ride as well. To both help the Raiders and give them trouble out on a raid, respectively. The following list details the new additions coming to Arc Raiders in the update:
- Enemies: Matriarch and Shredder.
- Grenades: Trailblazer Grenade and Seeker Grenade.
- Map: Stella Montis.
- Mines: Deadline Mine, Gas Mine, and Pulse Mine.
- Weapon: Aphelion Rifle – Legendary Weapon that uses Energy Ammo.
Players get to contend with new enemies that may prove to be tougher than what they are already facing in the game. However, with getting new weapons to fight back, the odds might just be even enough. Additionally, players get to head to Stella Montis as the new locale. However, things aren’t as straightforward when it comes to that map.
Breaking Ground Community Event
The Breaking Ground community event is how players unlock the new Stella Montis map in Arc Raiders. Players must have played through five raids to participate. Collectively, all players must submit materials to help rebuild the tunnels in that area. So while the location is coming with the North Line patch, we must unlock it to be able to access it. Whether that’s in a few days or weeks, it is completely up to the player base and how much they send resources in. We must collect and submit items like Chemicals, Fabric, Metal Parts, Plastic Parts, and Rubber Parts to help out.
Plus, by donating resources, you will earn Merits, which help the progression in another stage. The Merits, though, won’t be needed to help unlock Stella Montis. So if you are looking to help out with just submitting resources, then you’re good to go. It’s the first big event for the game, so it will be interesting to see how the community can perform. Moreover, with collecting resources being a pivotal role, just how fast it’s done.
North Line Update Release Date in Arc Raiders
The North Line update was released on November 13, 2025, and is currently available for players to dive into. So if you are aiming to get in and experience it, you don’t have to wait. Usually, updates for games don’t launch this early. However, it’s great to be able to allow players to jump in and see all there is to offer. Not just that, but it also allows the community to get a jump on resource gathering to open up Stella Montis.
Arc Raiders continues to explode, and the community is growing along with that. Having the North Line update launching already is going to keep players plenty busy for a while. If you plan on jumping in, make sure you have the best loadouts handy for it. Additionally, no matter where you go to raid, keep an eye out for the resources. The more we donate, the sooner we get to visit Stella Montis. Just be careful while you’re out there raiding in the game. Not everyone you come across is as they seem, and the loot may be worth taking you down for.
