Arc Raiders just received its first major update this morning, introducing a bunch of exciting new content to the game for players to enjoy.

Highlights of the Arc Raiders North Line update include a Community Unlock event, new items, and a series of new quests alongside some much-needed bug fixes and desync improvements.

Without further ado, let’s check out everything you need to know about the Arc Raiders November 13 update.

Arc Raider North Line Update: What’s New?

There’s a lot to uncover in the Arc Raiders North Line update, with new events, rewards, and more waiting for players to explore.

For starters, the patch has introduced a Community Unlock event that players across the globe can take part in. The event tasks players with donating basic materials such as Metal Parts, Plastic Parts, and Fabric to a shared global supply effort. Once the collective donation goal is reached, the brand-new map “Stella Montis” will be unlocked for all players to explore.

Blue Gate is getting a new map modifier as well as a map event with this update, titled “Locked Gate” and “Matriarch”, respectively.

The Locked Gate event functions similarly to the Hidden Bunker event we’ve seen in Spaceport, requiring players to collect four keys from different locations and use them on a console to unlock — you guessed it — a locked gate.

The Matriarch map modifier expands Blue Gate with a new Matriarch Arc, functioning in a similar way to the Harvester modifier’s Queen Arc. However, even after multiple raids with the Matriarch modifier active, we were unable to locate the Matriarch Arc on the map. Several community reports also suggest that the modifier may currently be bugged or not functioning as intended.

Lastly, Arc Raiders is getting a number of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements that are detailed in the official patch notes page.

Content and Bug Fixes

Achievements

• Fixed various achievements not working correctly. Players will need to redo some achievements with only one objective item (e.g. “Destroy the Queen”) while achievements with multiple objectives will only need parts of them completed again.

Animation

• Fixed an issue where weapons were automatically slung when throwing grenades.
• Fixed an issue where weapons were sometimes hidden when using deployables.
• Improved camera behavior to prevent clipping through walls and objects while jumping.

ARC

• Fireball enemies will no longer get stuck on security gates and will pursue the player accordingly.
• Fixed a bug where the Surveyors fleeing behavior could move it out of playable area.
• Fixed a bug which caused some enemies to take more fire damage than intended.

Audio

• Added a System Default option for voice chat input and output devices to follow your operating system’s default.
• Breathing audio has been adjusted for better balance between players with and without helmets. Breathing sounds are also less audible over distance.
• Added different audio effects to Scrappy while wearing various helmet cosmetics.

Cosmetics

• Fixed an issue where party members would initially appear with the base appearance.

Maps

• The Dam Battlegrounds
  • Fixed locations in The Dam where players could fall through the terrain.
  • Fixed some collision issues on The Dam where players could get stuck.
• Buried City
  • Fixed locations in Buried City where players could fall through the terrain.
  • Fixed various flickering and clipping issues in Buried City.
  • Fixed some locations where players could get stuck in the subway stations in Buried City.
• Spaceport
  • Sealed one of the rooms in Spaceport’s Departure Building, making it require breaching to access. The loot inside was adjusted to fit the effort required to enter.
  • Fixed an issue where certain doors could not be breached from the inside in the Launch Tower.
• Blue Gate
  • Fixed an issue where players could get trapped in the Blue Gate Control Room.
• Hatches
  • Fixed an issue where successfully entering a raider hatch did not grant immunity to damage and knockbacks.
  • Increased interaction distance for raider hatches.

Miscellaneous

• Reduced character movement latency on server to improve the “desync” problem where it looks like you get damaged even after behind cover.
• Reduced delay between shooting at ARC and seeing impact effects on the target.
• Adjusted blueprint drop rates from Raider Containers.
• Interacting with Probes, Husks, Raider Caches, etc. now counts towards looting container objectives.
• Fixed an issue where you could not loot or knock out DBNO players on steep slopes.
• Field crafting selection now stays on the same item after crafting.

Movement

• Vaulting is now smoother.

UI

• Added an inventory item menu option for splitting stacks.
• Removed Thumb Mouse Button from the Escape action in menus to prevent unintended back navigation when that button is bound to Push-to-Talk.
• Added a confirmation message after submitting a player report to clearly indicate that the report was received.
• Certain enemy salvage items will no longer auto-assign to Quick Slots when looted (e.g. Wasp Driver), preventing unwanted quick slot fills.
• Prevent showing blocked Discord users in the social screen when the Discord integration is on.
• Changed the styling of some UI input hints.

Utility

• Fixed an issue where the Blaze Grenade Trap could deal more damage then intended.
• Reduced Tick attachment time for the Anti-Tick Field augment passive from 1 second to 0.5 seconds.
• Fixed an issue where a prompt would get stuck while fighting off Ticks at the same time as the Anti-Tick Field passive being active.
• Smoke clouds from items are now always visible at the same range as players.
• Fixed an issue where the Trigger ‘Nade explosions could bypass the brief invulnerability when entering DBNO, causing instant elimination. Invulnerability now correctly applies on downing.
• Fixed a bug allowing players to use the Snap Hook to go out of bounds in the Spaceport bunker.

Weapons

• Fixed an issue where firing while standing close to walls could cause bullets to veer sideways instead of following the crosshair.

Quests

• Fixed an issue that prevented players from completing quests involving multiple objectives or item collections within a single round.
• The Greasing Her Palm quest in Spaceport now includes more thrusters that will complete the objective.
