ARC Raiders Leak Reveals Next Map Condition After Cold Snap

On December 16, 2025, the game ARC Raiders received the Cold Snap update, which introduced a new weather condition and gameplay features that make exploration more challenging and rewarding. When Cold Snap is active, maps are covered in snow, making it harder to see and causing players to slip on frozen surfaces. The update also added a Frostbite mechanic – if players get too cold, they’ll slowly lose health unless they find warmth or use healing items. The upcoming Toxic Swamp area is planned to have similar environmental challenges, but it’s expected to launch roughly a month from now.
