community unlock event carried out in Arc Raiders and players must pool resources to rebuild the tunnels leading to Stella Montis.
During the first phase of the event, raiders will have to sacrifice core resources to unlock Stella Montis, the fifth map of the Rust Belt. In return, players will receive Merits, the event currency used to unlock rewards. However, since this event has multiple stages, there will be more challenges for the community to complete as each stage progresses.
Once the community has donated enough resources, the second stage of “Stake Our Claims” will begin with a new progression track with rewards and challenges.
Here's everything you need to know about the Community Unlock Event, including how to progress and where to spend your merit.
Stage 1 — Opening up new horizons
In the first stage, “Breaking New Horizons”, players will have to sacrifice key resources to restore the tunnels to Stella Montis. You can donate the following items:
-
Metal parts
-
Textile
-
Plastic parts
-
Rubber parts
-
Chemicals
By donating resources, the community will be one step closer to the discovery of Stella Montis, and you will earn dignitywhich are the event currency that can be used to unlock rewards in the next stage. For every five resources you donate, you will receive 20 merit, but you can only earn up to 900 merits (at least at this stage). If you don't want to do the math, you will need to sacrifice a total of 225 resources hit the cap.
However, this does not mean that you should stop donating resources. You will no longer earn merit, but your donations will result in Stella Montis being unlocked faster for the entire community. If you're worried about missing out on the benefits and not doing your part, don't worry as the rate of progress is moderately reduced. Raiders around the world united too much, as the North and South American raiders almost skipped the first stage altogether.
Stage 2 — We put our claims
Once the community has provided enough resources, the second phase of “Staking Our Claims” will begin.
We will update this section as the event moves into the next phase.
