Arc Raiders‘ initial significant post-launch update has delivered a completely new map, two new ARC adversaries, and an assortment of novel items (weapons, grenades, and more) for gamers to find and utilize. Nevertheless, it has also launched the first event in the game, termed Breaking New Ground. While the initial segment of this event encouraged the community to unite and allocate resources to unlock the Stella Montis map, the subsequent section—Staking Our Claim—features a complimentary mini-battle pass of sorts with numerous rewards to earn by merely engaging in the game.

To access rewards during the Staking Our Claim event, you’ll be required to accumulate XP in matches. For each 100 XP earned, 1 Merit is awarded. A total of 3,600 Merits will be necessary to gather all items in the event—and while this may appear to be a significant task, XP is gained rather swiftly while looting and defeating foes in raids, meaning it will likely take you less time than anticipated.

Moreover, if you took part in the first half of the event by contributing resources to the tunnel projects, you will have already achieved up to 900 Merits toward the reward track right from the start. This will provide you with a notable advantage in acquiring every reward, so here’s hoping you participated! Rewards are automatically unlocked and awarded every 150 Merits, ensuring you’re consistently receiving something for your diligent effort while exploring the surface.

Below is a list of all rewards in the Staking Our Claim event and the amount of Merits required to unlock them. All rewards are complimentary, so there’s nothing optional to buy, and you won’t miss out on anything by simply playing and accumulating XP. The event concludes on December 7, giving you just over three weeks from the beginning to secure all free rewards.
