Arc Raiders Cold Snap Update to Add Snowy Maps and a Musical Twist

If you are an Arc Raiders fan, the upcoming Cold Snap update is all set to drop a surprise gift for you on December 16. Arc Raiders’ official Instagram account posted a clip involving a guitar… yes, a guitar. And, it appears that raiding will soon get a little more musical.

The latest teaser shows a Raider walking through the snow-covered Buried City while strumming a guitar. While details on the new item aren’t out yet, many point out that it might work like the old flute, which players once used to signal peaceful intent. To catch you up, the flute even helped players convince enemies to lower their weapons to loot with peace of mind.

The best possible guess this time around could be that the guitar acts as a clever way to bring some of that cooperative spirit back. So, what do you think about the upcoming guitar? Drop your guesses in the comments below.

For those unaware, the Cold Snap update will also add new winter conditions across maps like Buried City and Dam Battlegrounds, alongside new quests and a Raider Deck to progress through.

If you haven’t played Arc Raiders yet, you can get it on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. The Cold Snap update will be waiting for you starting tomorrow.
