Earlier this week, Embark Studios debuted Arc Raiders‘ first major update, North Line. It includes a new map called Stella Montis, which was locked behind a community event that had to be finished first. However, Arc Raiders players didn’t waste any time and unlocked Stella Montis in under 38 hours.
To reach Stella Montis–a map located in the “cold pristine” part of the Rust Belt, players had to donate a sizable amount of resources to tunnel through to that location. On Discord, Embark noted that it raised the requirements to enter Stella Montis because players were being more generous with resources than the studio anticipated. Despite that, players still powered through the goal.
Now that Stella Montis is open for exploration, players can visit the map and start earning XP there. The map’s description calls the ruins in the map “eerily pristine,” as well as “cold, sterile, and steeped in mystery.” There are ARC enemies to battle there, and two new types have joined the game: The Matriarch and the Shredder.
