The Arc Raiders winter event, Cold Snap, has concluded, and now developer Embark has shared some statistics about the milestones players achieved during it.
In a graphic shared on social media, the developer listed off what players did, including throwing 95 million snowballs. A total of 91 million players got knocked out by snowballs. Additionally, players used snowballs to take down Arc enemies–10,577, to be precise. What’s more, 3.5 million players were knocked out due to the cold.
Embark also added fireworks to the game for the Cold Snap event, and players fired 2.9 million rounds of fireworks and threw 9.2 million firecrackers. Players were also feeling festive and relaxed, apparently, as a total of 108 players played instruments for more than 20 minutes without stopping during the event.

A million Candleberry Banquets.
108 Raiders who really knew how to throw a party.
We took on the ARC and the cold, and came out still standing.

In other news, Arc Raiders publisher Nexon recently announced that the game had passed 12.4 million in sales, generating hundreds of millions of dollars. The game’s newest update nerfed some weapons and introduced new cosmetics.
Given the huge success of Arc Raiders so far, it’s no big surprise that Hollywood has come calling. Embark has said it’s gotten TV and movie pitches, but no deals have materialized as of yet.
GameSpot’s Arc Raiders review scored the game a 9/10. “We can all kill each other in Arc Raiders. The fact that most of us are choosing instead to lend a helping hand, if not a sign that humanity will be all right in the real world, at the very least makes for one of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played,” reviewer Mark Delaney said.
