After nearly a full year since release, Embark Studios is gearing up for the biggest update coming to Arc Raiders we've seen yet, which should add a massive boost to its currently diminished playercount. Scheduled to release on October 8, the Frozen Trail update is an absolutely massive addition to the game that not only comes with a new map and a few gameplay mechanics, but changes practically every aspect of Arc Raiders.
With new weapons, enemies, upgrade mechanics, some incredibly unique gadgets, and an Arc that dwarfs even the Emperors, Frozen Trail is absolutely worth returning for thanks to all the following content in Arc Raiders' newest trailer on YouTube you can find detailed below.
After nearly a full year of speculation on when we'll get to see the massive Arc prowling in the backdrop of every outdoor map, we'll finally get up close and personal with one in Arc Raiders' new Pendola Pass. Located further north than any of Arc Raiders' current locations, the frozen wasteland boasts a massive variety of elevation, open plains, and close-quarters areas to fight through.
The frozen map will also go through periodic flash freezes just like the ones included in the Cold Snap event, forcing you to either hide indoors and wait out the storm or risk periodically ducking into them to keep your body temperature up.
Of course, the biggest draw of the map itself is the massive Emperor carcass sprawling across it, which you can explore the interior of to scavenge or solve puzzles for some high-level loot, albeit with more risk from several of the new Arc coming with the update.
Frozen Trail also adds three new enemies for raiders to contend with against the already lengthy list of Arc enemies in the game, starting off with the hulking Bully. Roughly the same size as a Leaper, Bullys are an incredibly fast-moving Arc meant to wear raiders down by running at them and traversing obstacles, with an automatic turret on top and intermittent missile launches.
Next up is a smaller hovering Arc with the Skukler, which chooses to float close to the ground and ambush players rather than targeting them from above. Although a weaker enemy by comparison, the main threat of Skuklers is having to keep track of where they are in a fight, as they'll run off and hide between attacks to ambush you again.
The last dedicated enemy in the update is stationary Hydras, which are a new type of stationary turret enemy that attacks with three separate machine guns, which can either be directed to a single target or split between three at a single time, albeit with reduced firepower.
