Three armored ARC Raiders characters stand against a snowy landscape.

ARC Raiders‘ Frozen Trail 2.0 update is now live, bringing 22 new quests, the Pendola Pass map, three new ARC enemies, and new weapons. Embark confirmed the launch in its Steam update. The update also adds two stash-size levels, bringing the maximum to 328 without Expedition bonuses.

The October 8 launch fulfills Embark’s earlier schedule for Frozen Trail, which introduced the map, operation, and progression plans. Raiders can now visit Pendola Pass, face the Bully, Skulker, and Hydra, and encounter the Frigate and Redirection map conditions.

Progression changes include a revamped Skill Tree, an updated Reward Pass system, and an Outpost with a new Research Bench. Lootable Design items unlock craftable Outpost furniture, while Weapon Stencils offer another way to customize guns. The quest system has also been improved alongside its 22 new additions.

The new arsenal includes the Bantam and Stiletto, plus amplified weapons. Raiders also get a Grappling Hook, Basic and Advanced Cameras, a Tether Launcher, a Yank Grenade, and a Mountaineer’s Detector. Banjo and harmonica join the new items as well.

Frozen Trail updates default gamepad mapping and reworks the Map Selection screen with visual and usability changes. The Collector DLC is available now, and Embark has published the full Frozen Trail 2.0 patch notes.
