‘Arc Raiders’ Is Getting Its Biggest Map Yet, But There’s A Catch

A new map is coming to popular extraction shooter, Arc Raiders. As part of the Frozen Trail update, the new map features “a new landscape in the Rust Belt with layered design and new mysteries to uncover in the largest map in the game” according to the Arc Raiders blog.

Alongside this new map will be new ARC enemies with “fresh designs” and “unique behaviors” plus new systems of progression, new opportunities to uncover the mysteries of the ARC, an improved skill tree and much more.

All of this sounds fantastic. The biggest problem with the newest map, Riven Tides, is its size. While I appreciate small maps, I expected something at least as big as Buried City after so many months of waiting. Riven Tides would make a fine new map if we’d gotten another new map between now and the release of Stella Montis.
