ARC Raiders has dominated the charts since its release, and Embark Studios isn’t about to slow down. The developer is set to launch the first major content drop for the game with the upcoming North Line update.
### North Line Update: What to Expect
Scheduled to arrive on November 13, 2025, at 1:30 a.m. PT / 4:30 a.m. ET, the North Line update will bring a host of exciting new features. This includes a community event that grants access to a brand-new map, along with new ARC enemies, weapons, play styles, and more.
### Breaking New Ground: The Community Challenge
To unlock the new map, Stella Montis, players will need to participate in the community challenge event called Breaking New Ground. By completing a few rounds, players will assist Speranza in rebuilding the tunnels that connect Stella Montis to the northern region.
Contributing resources during this event will earn players Merits, a special currency that “fuels the next phase of the community event.” These collective efforts will determine how quickly the new content becomes available.
### Discover Stella Montis
Once unlocked, Stella Montis unveils a pristine environment quite a contrast to the Rust Belt region. The map features ancient ruins that hint at what humanity left behind in its push toward the stars—making it a treat for lore enthusiasts.
### New Foes: The Shredder and The Matriarch
Players will face new ARC enemies on Stella Montis. The Shredder is the primary new foe, while another formidable enemy called the Matriarch “makes the Queen look friendly by comparison.” The Matriarch will only appear under specific map conditions, adding an element of surprise and challenge.
### New Weapons and Play Styles
The update also introduces several powerful new weapons, including:
– Energy Burst Rifle
– Impulse Mine
– Timed Mine
– Gas Jump Mine
Additionally, Embark Studios is introducing new “Play Styles” called Lone Wolf and Trailblazer, offering players fresh ways to approach gameplay.
### Additional Content
Beyond the community event, new map, enemies, and weapons, players can also look forward to exciting new quests to further expand the ARC Raiders experience.
