Arc Raiders, the popular extraction shooter, is introducing an exciting community event titled Breaking New Ground, which starts today. Players must contribute Basic Materials to unlock the game's first post-launch map, Stella Montis. This collaborative effort requires players who have participated in at least five rounds to donate materials like Metal parts, Fabric, and Chemicals. As players contribute, they’ll earn new event currency, Merits, which can be used for various rewards. Upon reaching a material threshold, the next phase, Staking Our Claim, will commence, unveiling the new map packed with unique Arc enemies and gameplay items.
