Embark Studios ne Arc Raiders ke liye Cold Snap update officially launch kiya hai, jisme ek winter-themed overhaul introduce kiya gaya hai jo familiar battlegrounds ko harsher conditions, limited-time events, aur game ke pehle optional Expedition reset ke saath reshape karta hai.
Cold Snap Speranza ko Winter Battleground mein badalta hai
Cold Snap update, jo December 16 ko release hua, Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, Spaceport, aur The Blue Gate mein ek naya Snowfall map condition leke aaya hai. Ye winter variants raids ke khelne ke tarike ko significantly alter karte hain, jisme heavy snowfall se visibility kam ho jaati hai, frozen lakes traversal routes ko change karte hain, aur exposed surfaces careless movement ko punish karte hain. Sabse impactful addition hai frostbite, ek naya environmental hazard jo players ke zyada der tak bahar rehne par health ko slowly drain karta hai. Raiders ko ab shelter dhoondhne, healing resources ko zyada carefully manage karne, aur cold mein extended engagements ko survive karne ke liye loadouts ko rethink karne ke liye encourage kiya jaata hai.
Seasonal Events aur Progression Rewards
Environmental changes ke saath, Cold Snap Flickering Flames event aur Candleberry Banquet project introduce karta hai. Players automatically Flickering Flames mein enroll ho jaate hain, Merits earn karte hain simply by gaining XP during raids. Ye Merits cosmetic items, gear, aur Raider Tokens se bhara ek progression track unlock karte hain.
Candleberry Banquet project ek collaborative progression element add karta hai, jisme players ko Candleberries aur unique items ko topside scavenge karne ka task diya jaata hai taaki stages ko complete kiya ja sake jo Speranza mein naye scenes reveal karte hain aur additional rewards grant karte hain. Banquet mein progress Flickering Flames mein bhi feedback karta hai, jisse seasonal systems ek saath jud jaate hain.
Goalie Raider Deck Is Month Ke End Mein Aayega
December 26 se shuru hokar, Goalie Raider Deck base game for all players mein add kiya jayega. Ye hockey-inspired Raider Deck battle pass ki tarah kaam karta hai lekin permanently available rehta hai. Daily Feats ko complete karke aur Creds earn karke, players multiple color variants mein ek naya outfit, cosmetic items, aur practical raid tools jaise ki hockey stick-themed Raider tool unlock kar sakte hain. Embark ne confirm kiya hai ki deck ke rewards ko access karne ke liye koi real-money purchase required nahi hai.
First Expedition Reset Ek Fresh Start Offer Karta Hai
Cold Snap Arc Raiders ka pehla Expedition reset bhi introduce karta hai, jo December 17 se December 23 tak available hai. Jo players requirements poori karte hain, woh apne current Raider ko Expedition par bhej sakte hain aur ek fresh character ke saath dobara shuru kar sakte hain. Jabki ye reset existing progression jaise levels, upgrades, aur credits ko remove karta hai, ye exclusive bonuses, cosmetic rewards, aur permanent advantages grant karta hai jo carry over hote hain. Expedition system ko ek optional challenge ke taur par design kiya gaya hai, jo players ko progress continue karne ya added incentives ke saath apni journey restart karne ki freedom deta hai.
