Pendola Pass
ARC Raiders’ next map, arriving with the Frozen Trail update on 8 October 2026.
The map
Pendola Pass is an old Italian village and Exodus transport hub beyond the Rust Belt, kept frozen by the icy air under the mountains. Embark calls it its most challenging map yet, with greater verticality and exploration, threats above and below ground, and brutal flash freezes that cut through the valley.
Places Embark has shown
- The supermarket
- The town square
- The observatory
- A buried train depot, once a transit hub of the Exodus Project
- A fallen Emperor, a giant ARC you can find a way inside; its fall brings out the Frigate
Its map condition
Embark describes a minor condition that runs only on Pendola Pass, Redirection: raiders can draw Harvester payloads away from the Collector and toward their own position for ARC loot, but the Transmitter that calls them in draws both ARC and rival raiders. Once it's in the schedule, the event timers show when it's on in your region.
What else Frozen Trail brings
- The Frigate, a massive airborne ARC carrier, and the Outpost, a base of your own outside Speranza to decorate and research in
- New ARC: the Bully, the Skulker and the Hydra
- Two weapons, the Stiletto battle rifle and the Bantam revolver, and Amplified weapons. Compare them on Weapons once their stats are out.
- Gadgets: the Grappling Hook, Tether Launcher, Yank Grenade and Camera
- A reworked skill tree, which the skill tree planner follows once Embark publishes it
- A Reward Pass and new questlines
- Weekly trials come back on the same day, after their break between seasons
