Arc Raiders recently introduced a new threat that has me nervously watching my step. The Shredder arrived with November’s North Line update, and these floating menace units patrol the corridors of Stella Montis, the game’s mountainous facility. They buzz ominously, and if you stray too close, they emit a piercing mechanical screech before detonating a shrapnel blast that can tear players apart in an instant.
For now, the Shredders are effectively trapped. They haven’t figured out how to navigate beyond the heights of Stella Montis, stuck like a Dalek stranded atop a staircase. This means avoiding the facility keeps you safe from their lethal explosions, offering a small sense of relief amid the game’s chaos. But Arc Raiders’ design lead hints this won’t last forever. The Shredders will eventually find a way out, promising a deadlier challenge ahead.
If you’ve been creeping through Stella Montis, watch out. These floating cigar-shaped killers may not roam far today, but their growing threat is very much part of the game’s evolving landscape.
