Recently, the leak of ARC Raiders' source code has caused quite a stir among gamers. One player, based on the leaked source code, has revealed details about future updates.

According to his leak, future updates will include a large amount of new content, including a new map, a new ARC Operation, new weapons, and a new guild system.

Because he accurately predicted the content of Riven Tides Update - including map conditions and key rooms - many players have a high degree of credibility in this leak. So, let's take a look at what he revealed.

New Map

According to his leak, following the warm island-themed Riven Tides map, the next new map is expected to be a completely different, frigid theme, named Frozen Trail.

Judging from the location description, this is likely a snow-covered mountain village above Stella Montis region. Imagine, while we're sipping an ice-cold cola at our computer desk, our in-game characters are battling through a truly biting blizzard.

This snow-covered map is filled with a post-apocalyptic atmosphere. The heavy snow has buried the villages and cities that once existed on the map, perfectly fitting the lore of ARC Raiders. We can imagine what life was like for the residents of Frozen Trail before the apocalypse by looking at the snow-covered buildings.

Besides the map's name and style, this player also revealed possible locations of Points of Interest on the map, which may include:

• 1.Central Station
• 2.Large Factory and Loading Ramp
• 3.Observatory
• 4.Radio Tower and Freight Terminal
• 5.Village Square

Central Station

This was likely the main route for Frozen Trail residents to reach Stella Montis in the past.

Large Factory and Loading Ramp

Like Riven Tides, Embark often hides Points of Interest in these locations.

Observatory

Yes, there's an observatory on this map, and veteran players might find it familiar. There was a bug that allowed players to enter the area early for sightseeing.

Radio Tower and Freight Terminal

This was a transit point for materials entering and leaving the mountains, responsible for transporting capsule products to the launch pad.

Village Square

This is a snow-covered, dilapidated area, filled with the desolation of a post-apocalyptic world.

Undoubtedly, this snow-covered area will bring players a completely new gaming experience.

New ARC Operation

One of the most visually striking new features revealed in this leak is the addition of a new ARC operation called Dead Reckoning to ARC Raiders Frozen Trail.

Specifically, with Frozen Trail Update, a massive new ARC enemy, Frigate, will officially debut, becoming a formidable foe for players. Defeating this enemy will give players a chance to obtain various items, weapons, and even ARC Raiders BluePrints.

In fact, players may have glimpsed it in the previous Hurricane Map Condition - during the final 10 to 13 minutes of remnant weather, a UFO-like object may fly across the sky. According to the leak, this massive command ship will fly along a fixed, predetermined route on the map.

There are three main mechanics for this new ARC enemy:

First, "Approach." This refers to Frigate's falling or near-surface state. Players can prepare their weapons in this state.

Second, "Boarded." This refers to its lower-lying state. In this state, players can truly enter the ship's interior to fight, and its weak points are hidden inside.

Third, "Removal." After successfully defeating Frigate, players need to use this mechanic to evacuate the battlefield.

Furthermore, according to leaks, Frigate's outer shell has a vaporizer-like function, existing in two states: Eidel and Cooling Down. After being attacked, the outer shell may trigger Searching Mode - a sudden energy surge that activates a protective energy shield, requiring players to concentrate their fire to break it.

New Weapons

According to the same ARC Raiders player's leak, two new weapons will be added to the game in the upcoming update.

One is an ARC Raiders Item called Stanza, a medium-armor submachine gun. In Italian etymology, it may mean "space or room," suggesting it will be a new type of burst-fire submachine gun for close-quarters indoor combat.

The other is a new assault rifle called Malleus. "Maleus" means "hammer" in Latin or Italian, suggesting it will be a heavy, semi-automatic, mid-to-long-range weapon with a deafening roar when fired.

Additionally, the beloved mechanical chicken Scrappy, who collects materials for you, will receive two new upgrade tiers: Tier 6 is called Feathered Mystery, and Tier 7 is called Rooster of Legends.

These names are inspired by the classic Portuguese cultural symbol Galo de Barcelos, signifying the emergence of truth and the ultimate victory of justice. This perfectly aligns with ARC Raiders' lore. 

Guild System

This leak also hints at the possibility of adding a guild system to ARC Raiders. According to the leaked code, players can join specific guild clusters based on their preferences. Players who enjoy PvP can join PvP guilds, those who prefer PvE can join PvE guilds, and so can those who enjoy questing.

Each guild has special quests, and players can automatically progress through these quests by activating their guild during gameplay. There will also be a guild ranking system, so players must continuously progress through the quests to improve their guild's ranking.

It's worth mentioning that Embark's previous game, The Finals, introduced a very similar guild mechanism. It wouldn't be surprising if ARC Raiders added this feature in an upcoming update.

This concludes the leak from this mysterious player regarding upcoming updates to ARC Raiders. I must remind everyone that Embark has not commented on this leak, so it may be true or false. However, I really like this leak and hope it's true!
