Arc Raiders The Frontier Expands North Guide: How to Improve Aim, Precision, & Survive

by Luke Panosian 23 Nov 2025

Arc Raiders has taken the gaming world by storm this year, with the rising popularity of Extraction Shooters at an all-time high. Momentum for Arc Raiders is just getting started as they have officially released their new Community Event: The Frontier Expands North, which introduces a brand new map, new and deadly Arcs, and newly added weapons to help you survive Stella Montis. Whether you are more interested in PVP or PVE, survival is the name of the game, and being able to extract with the high-value loot you need for crafting and upgrades. This new event will also challenge you to work together with other Raiders in-game to take down the new extremely lethal and massive Matriarch.  

 

On top of the new additions as part of the community event, several updates were added to other weapons and Arcs that will have an impact on the degree of difficulty to successfully extract from any map. At the same time, these new updates put more emphasis on targeting weak points on Arcs to allow for an easier time when taking them out, so skill and accuracy are still a major focal point. Simply exploring the new map, Stella Montis, is uncharted territory with plenty of unknowns, and it has been designated as a largely PVP map, so Arcs will not be the only enemy. Map conditions are also another variable Raiders will have to work through as the Hidden Bunker, Night Raids at Blue Gate, and the ever dangerous Electromagnetic Storm event all create a high-risk, high-reward scenario. 

Boost In-Game Accuracy and Precision With KontrolFreek Performance Thumbsticks

The new community event has added plenty of content for those who have spent many hours in the game, but this update also brought along more challenges to taking down Arcs. Along with the update to Arcs, the reward for accuracy has only risen, as weak points on Arcs now serve as a lifeline for anyone overwhelmed or who finds themselves in an unexpected firefight. Both Arcs and unfriendly Raiders tend to have unpredictable movements, so you need to be accurate when it counts because headshots and weak points are the fastest way to take down an enemy. From the added quests and activities, Raiders will be forced to scour several maps and take down fierce arcs for their materials. New weapons like the Aphelion blueprint will only be achievable through taking down the Matriarch, and the additional Arc added, called the Shredder, is just as deadly and durable unless you know where to aim. Fortunately, KontrolFreek has exactly what you need when it comes to gaining an advantage in-game and boosting your accuracy and precision without sacrificing mobility and versatility. 

KontrolFreek’s Aim Boost Kits emphasise versatility with mixed height thumbsticks along with 3 Precision Rings ranging in strength (Soft, Medium, Hard) to improve your accuracy and precision. The Inferno, Galaxy, and Frenzy thumbsticks all have unique designs that provide much-needed traction to eliminate thumb slippage and give your thumbs added comfort to counter fatigue, which can also impact your accuracy. The mixed height allows for players to reap the benefits of the high-rise thumbstick to improve their ability to make smaller, precise adjustments when aiming, while the mid-rise thumbsticks improve mobility and comfort so you can confidently parkour and move throughout the map with ease. The added height from equipping the high-rise thumbstick also provides any gamer with more control over their aim and movement in-game, which can be paramount when switching between long-range and close-range encounters. This gives any player a major advantage as different Arcs and enemies may require different weapons or distances to take down unscathed, or just ensuring you will hit your shot when it matters most.

If you find yourself struggling to adapt to a high sensitivity or have issues overcorrecting and missing shots when in battle, the Precision Rings will be your new favorite accessory. The resistance provided by each strength eliminates any issue of overcorrecting, as the rings will counteract any overly aggressive movements with key resistance. For those who are struggling to master a higher sensitivity, Precision Rings are also a crucial way to maintain control while minimizing elongated thumbstick movement to keep your aim on target and precise. They are also made from a durable material to make sure they retain their shape without tearing when being equipped. Fully outfit your controller with both KontrolFreek Performance Thumbsticks and Precision Rings to experience the ultimate upgrade to your movement, accuracy, and precision.
