Experience ARC Raiders’ biggest update since launch: Frozen Trail. An unprecedented disruption has drawn dangers to the Rust Belt unlike anything we’ve seen before. With a colossal new threat eviscerating anything in its path, both the Nomads’ trails and Toledo itself threaten to become collateral damage of ARC’s ill-equipped salvage operation.
