Today, Embark Studios received a valuable lesson about the unwavering commitment of ARC Raiders players. This morning marked the launch of the game’s first-ever community event, challenging players to contribute crafting materials to unlock a new post-launch map, the expansive underground research facility known as Stella Montis.
At 3:35 AM CT, Embark shared news about the event on the ARC Raiders Discord server. Just an hour later, they acknowledged the overwhelming response from the community:
“You have been progressing the unlock event much faster than we anticipated,” stated Embark’s community manager, Ossen. “Your altruism for the Stella Montis cause has surpassed our expectations. We want all Raiders worldwide to experience this event, so we’re raising the bar in hopes you’ll surprise us once more.”
Indeed, Embark underestimated just how passionate its players are, especially shortly after the game’s launch. Participants are tasked with donating resources such as Metal Parts, Fabric, Plastic Parts, Rubber Parts, and Chemicals, many of which can be easily collected with the trusty chicken at their home base. Clearly, players had plenty to contribute.
Initially, the community progress bar dipped from around 13 percent to 1 percent, but it started to rise quickly. At the moment I captured the screenshot, it had already climbed to 3 percent, showcasing players’ dedication to this cause.
Once the goal is achieved, Stella Montis will unlock as the fifth map in ARC Raiders, a game that has received positive reviews and boasts significant player engagement. As time goes on, it will be intriguing to witness how the game evolves, but for now, Embark has learned to appreciate the determination of its community.
