How to Unlock Stella Montis in Arc Raiders

Stella Montis was added with the Arc Raiders patch notes for the North Line update. To unlock Stella Montis in Arc Raiders, players must go through multiple phases. We will list all the requirements and processes players must complete to unlock this new map.

Arc Raiders ‘Breaking New Ground’ Event Materials

The first phase to unlock the map is the ‘Breaking New Ground’ global event. In this event, you must donate some specific materials and reach the goal. The task requires players to gather and donate materials from the topside. Here is the list of items required to unlock Stella Montis in Arc Raiders:

• Metal Parts
• Fabric
• Plastic Parts
• Rubber Parts
• Chemicals

There is a certain number that the entire Arc Raiders community must reach to complete this global challenge. The materials required are easily available by salvaging low-level weapons, grenades, or defeating ARCs across the topside.

You can track the progress by looking at the white bar at the bottom. Moreover, you can check your total donations on the bottom right screen. As the items required are easily available from Scrappy, you can get some essential items and upgrade him early on, and collect the loot after every raid.

How to Donate Materials in Arc Raiders ‘Breaking New Ground’ Event

Once you have the materials, go to the ‘Live Event’ tab from the homescreen. Now hover on the items under the ‘Donations’ tab. Hold the E button to donate 5 selected materials at once. This will reward you with 20 Merits, event currency. These Merits can be used to encash rewards when Stella Montis unlocks.

Keep in mind that you can earn a maximum of 900 Merits from the Arc Raiders ‘Breaking New Ground’ Event. However, once you are done collecting your Merits, you can still keep contributing to the community progress to unlock Stella Montis in Arc Raiders.

After the phase 1 community challenge is over, a new one will start. The phase 2 to unlock Stella Montis in Arc Raiders will be the ‘Staking Our Claim’ task, which will have its own separate progression track. So, participate in the current event and help the community unlock the map faster.

Note: We will add ‘Staking Our Claim’ task requirements here once phase 1 is complete.
