"The Cold Snap update adds winter fun to Arc Raiders' bleak but hopeful version of the future. The biggest new feature being added is a limited-time snowfall map condition, which blankets topside maps with a wintery dusting. This is more than a visual flourish for certain maps. According to Embark, the new weather condition means reduced visibility, frozen bodies of water, and deadly consequences for those who stay outdoors for extended periods."
"In the Arc Raiders universe, the so-called Flickering Flames festival begins this month. This will see Raiders rushing to gather a new versatile resource known as Candleberry Bushes. Candleberries are used for holiday drinks and treats, warm meals, candles, and more, boosting humanity's morale through the coldest months of the year. Players will also use candleberries to keep them warm when traversing the surface."
Arc Raiders has drawn hundreds of thousands of players daily since its October release, matching legacy shooters like Call of Duty and Battlefield 6. The game won The Game Award for best multiplayer game. The Cold Snap update adds a limited-time snowfall map condition that reduces visibility, freezes bodies of water, and imposes deadly exposure risks. Players must seek shelter and find heat sources to survive frigid temperatures during raids. Cold Snap also adds unlockable cosmetics, quests, and a holiday-themed Project tied to the Flickering Flames festival, which introduces Candleberry Bushes used for warmth, cooking, candles, and morale boosts. The update launches this week.
