The tunnels that awaited at the end of the Breaking New Ground project were cold and unforgiving, here's how the action played out: pic.twitter.com/NzH9orgtI6
A post on X by the ARC Raiders team announced the success of the new update yesterday. This follows the community event that was held when the update launched, which was titled ‘Breaking New Ground’. The new map Stella Montis looks very different to other environments in ARC Raiders, with large numbers of corridors and an industrial feel which make it ideal for PvP experiences. Within Stella Montis there are also a number of quests to complete, and loot to find. The full infographic with all the details can be seen below.

It looks like the Shredder is a new formidable enemy, as are apparently the… rocks. It also seems like the recent controversy around the use of generative AI in the game has not dented player numbers.
How do you feel about the new ARC Raiders update? Have you had fun in Stella Montis? Are the rocks really that deadly?!
