As someone of a nervous disposition, I am not a fan of the Shredder, one of the latest enemies added to Arc Raiders. First appearing after November’s North Line update, these floating bollards buzz about the halls and corridors of the mountainside facility, Stella Montis. Cross their path and they emit a mechanical shriek before releasing an explosive wave of shrapnel. Anyone caught in the blast is cut to shribbons.
Currently, like a Darlek left at the top of a staircase, Shredders haven’t found a way down the mountain and out into the world. So, if I want to avoid being screamed at and eviscerated by a hovering cigar tube, I can just avoid the hilltop base. According to Arc Raiders’ design lead, that relative safety may not last much longer.
