Over the past week or so, Arc Raiders<\/a> has been teasing its biggest update yet on the roadmap<\/a>, Riven Tides (coming April 28), by emailing players transcripts of a scout’s report. Where is the scout, you ask? On the new map, which has long been rumoured as a beachfront and\/or shipping yard.<\/p>\n

From these emails and a new lore-based blog<\/a> with more of the scout’s findings, the new map coming next week does indeed appear to be a seaside paradise. And we’ve got a good glimpse of what I assume will be all of its major locations:<\/p>\n

Panorama Azzuro<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

An abandoned hotel with a rooftop bar, which I’m sure will have lots of Residential-type loot. There’s a tennis court nearby, though I doubt that it’ll be a fruitful place to scavenge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Arc<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pool\/Beachfront<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

A waterpark with a slide to rival Dam Battleground’s dam wall. It looks to be a very open area, and I can’t imagine there being too many loot containers here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Arc<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Customs House\/Stacking Yard<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

The Customs House is a large building near the harbour, likely crawling with Arc. Meanwhile, the Stacking Yard is a vertical area thanks to stacks of shipping containers. It was once an Exodus port according to the scout, so expect lots of Exodus loot and likely some Mechanical parts too. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Absent in the blog post but included in the third scout report email is a note that the scout has heard “Something overhead”, so is “Finding cover” which seems to be hinting at Riven Tides’ second most exciting addition: A new large Arc. This will be similar in scale and challenge to the Queen or Matriarch. From the sounds of it, it’s not a land or sea-based Sharc,<\/em> <\/strong><\/em>unfortunately, but likely another flying enemy. Most likely, it’s the UFO players have reported seeing in the clouds since the Shrouded Sky update<\/a>. If that’s the case, then it’s truly terrifying.<\/p>\n
