The Frontier Expands North
Raiders,
Beneath Speranza is a sprawling network of tunnels, and it seems some have been sealed off with great effort. However, with ingenuity and elbow grease, nothing stays hidden forever. Will you join Speranza’s efforts to rebuild the tunnels, and connect what has been lost?
Join the Community Unlock Event: Breaking New Ground
On November 13, the Community Unlock Event “Breaking New Ground” begins. In this event, players are asked to contribute resources to the tunnel project. In Speranza, nothing comes for free, and the tunnel project is no different. Basic Materials must be collected and donated for the restoration of the tunnels to reach the fifth map: Stella Montis. Any player that has played at least five rounds can participate in this community effort.
Materials needed:
- Metal Parts
- Fabric
- Chemicals
- Rubber Parts
- Plastic Parts
But your efforts will not go unrewarded. Donations in the “Breaking New Ground” event will earn Merits, a new event currency that will fuel the next phase of progression. While there is a cap on how many Merits can be earned for material donation, additional contributions will aid Speranza in reaching Stella Montis more quickly.
Once completed, the restoration of the tunnels and unlocking of Stella Montis will trigger Phase II, “Staking Our Claim,” a new progression track.
Map unlock: Stella Montis
Carved deep into the northern mountains, Stella Montis tempts Raiders to explore an abandoned facility that remains relatively well-preserved compared to the wreckage of the lower Rust Belt. Cold and sterile, these ruins hint at what humanity left behind in its push towards the stars.
The reconnection of the tunnels to Stella Montis will trigger the opening of Phase II, “Staking Our Claim.” This is a new progression track with personal rewards and challenges, and will run for a limited time until December.
New ARC enemies, gameplay items, and more
Raiders who investigate Stella Montis will recover rare resources, new gameplay items, maybe even schematics for long-lost technology.
The North Line update also introduces two new ARC enemies, each bringing distinct challenges to those who are brave enough to venture topside. The Matriarch is an imposing ARC machine that makes the Queen look friendly and can be found during a specific map condition. The Shredder will first appear in Stella Montis, challenging Raiders to stay sharp in close-quarter encounters.
New ARC:
- Matriarch
- Shredder
New Weapon and Gameplay Items:
- New legendary weapon
- Three new mines
- Two new grenades
New Stella Montis Quests
Looking ahead
The North Line is just the beginning of the ARC Raiders post-launch roadmap. The next update, Cold Snap, arrives this December which introduces the “Flickering Flames” event, a new snowfall Map Condition, the awaited Expedition Project Raider reset, and more.
See you topside,
