We got an early look at all of the new content coming to Arc Raiders Frozen Trail, including three new Arc enemies, a camera, and a new map.
The highly anticipated 'big October update', Frozen Trail, comes to Arc Raiders on Thursday October 8, and Embark Studios has confirmed exactly what to expect. Expanding the story, Celeste is sending raiders to the surface to investigate signals that are coming from a downed walker. As one of those raiders, you head to the game's new map, Pendola Pass.
Situated on the northern edge of the Rust Belt, Pendola Pass is a harsh, snowy mountain map, which is larger than most of the locations you're familiar with in Arc Raiders. Verticality is increased, as you'd expect, but there is also a massive downed Emperor Arc for you to explore for the best loot.
To get around easily, Embark is also finally adding a grappling hook item for you to take with you on raids. Instead of having limited uses, the tool uses stamina, meaning you can use it however much you want during a game. It also lets you absail down the outside of buildings, reaching windows and surprising other players. Hopefully, it'll mean Pendola Pass isn't a chore to get around.
You'll also find new weather effects and enemies that are exclusive to the new map. On the snowy mountain tops, you'll be at the mercy of 'flash freeze' which pushes you towards shelter and damages you if you stay out in the harsh cold for too long.
While exploring, though, you'll come across the three new Arc added in Frozen Trail. The highlight is the Frigate, which Embark says is "a massive airborne carrier that presents a high-stakes challenge for experienced Raiders." Essentially, you climb on top of it to complete puzzle based challenges, taking on Hydra enemies at the same time.
On the ground, you'll also encounter Bully and Skulker bots, each of which has to be approached in a different way. For now, only the Frigate of the three new Arc will appear on other maps, but that'll change in the future.
To help you take on the new enemies, you'll be able to amplify your weapons. With a new research bench, you can level guns up to what is essentially a fifth quality level. However, instead of improving the weapon's stats, the upgrade adds an extra feature. For example, amplifying the Renegade will add a scope to it, making it much more useful in long-range fights.
