Arc Raiders’ Event Update Delivers Chaos, Rewards, and a Racing Clock
Arc Raiders has just rolled out one of its most exciting post-launch updates yet, and honestly, it feels like the game has stepped into a new phase. A massive new map, fresh ARC enemy types, and a stack of new weapons and items have all been added—but the real spotlight is on the game’s first big event series. The community has already rallied around the first part, Breaking New Ground, where players worked together to unlock the brand-new Stella Montis map. And now, the second stage—Staking Our Claim—has kicked in with a free mini-battle-pass-style progression track.
What makes this event so approachable is how simple the reward structure is. Everything is tied directly to XP. Every 100 XP earned in regular matches translates into 1 Merit. Hit 3,600 Merits and you’ve completed the entire reward track. At first glance, that number might look intense, but XP flows surprisingly fast when you’re looting, fighting off ARC enemies, and clearing raids. For many players, the grind may feel more like a natural by-product of just playing the game rather than a deliberate effort.

And here’s where things get even better: if you took part in the first stage of the community event by contributing resources to the tunnel project, you’ve already banked up to 900 Merits for free. That’s essentially a quarter of the entire reward track finished before you even start. It’s a generous head start and a nice acknowledgment for the early supporters.
Rewards drop every 150 Merits, and everything is completely free. No premium tracks, no paid boosts, no hidden catches—just steady progress rewarded through regular gameplay. Items range from cosmetics and attachments to currencies and utility gear, giving players a nice mix of functional upgrades and fun cosmetic additions. Whether it's a new Striker outfit variant, Raider Tokens, grenades, backpacks, or accessories like the Gas Mask or Deadline mine, the event keeps handing out rewards at a satisfying pace.
The clock is ticking, though. Staking Our Claim is only available until December 7, giving players just over three weeks from its launch to grab everything. But since XP comes in fast—especially during chaos-heavy raids—most players should have no trouble collecting the full lineup as long as they play consistently.
Between the new map, the intense Stella Montis encounters, and the community-driven spirit of the event, this Arc Raiders update feels like a major milestone. Whether you’re diving in for the rewards, the new enemy encounters, or the sheer thrill of surviving the tighter, more dangerous environments, this event gives players plenty of reasons to jump back into the action while these free rewards are still up for grabs.
