What to know

  • ARC Raiders released the Stella Montis map in November 2025 as part of the North Line update.
  • The map was unlocked through a community event requiring donations of in-game materials.
  • Stella Montis offers new PvP-focused corridors, quests, loot, and enemies like the Shredder and Matriarch.
  • The map has exceeded 25 million visits in the first week, with notable player activity and achievements.

Since its release, more than 25 million map visits to Stella Montis have been recorded within just one week, illustrating strong player interest and activity. Notable stats include nearly 27,000 Matriarch kills and an unusual record of 117 self-knockouts triggered by volcanic rocks found in the map.

The Stella Montis map was introduced in a November 13, 2025 update named North Line. Access to the map required the community event "Breaking New Ground," where players contributed resources such as metal parts, fabric, and chemicals to restore a tunnel network. This cooperative unlocking mechanic engaged the player base deeply before their first experience in the new area.

Stella Montis is distinct from previous ARC Raiders maps due to its large number of corridors and industrial setting, making it highly suited for PvP engagements. The update introduced new ARC enemies including the formidable Matriarch and the close-quarter Shredder. Players also found a new legendary weapon, mines, grenades, and a variety of quests to enhance gameplay depth.

Following the North Line update, further content is planned for December under the name Cold Snap, promising more new features and maps as outlined in the 2025 roadmap for ARC Raiders.
