Stella Montis Full Map Guide 2025 – All Bunkers, Loot Spawns & Extraction Routes

• Stella Montis is the biggest & most vertical map in Arc Raiders – 3 layers of bunkers, ice caves and mountain peaks.
• Contains 68% of all purple/gold loot spawns – but also the highest third-party rate in the game.
• Blizzards hit 40% of the time during Cold Snap – use ice slides to rotate faster than anyone else.

Top 5 Hot Drop Locations (Highest Loot + Highest Risk)

Rank	Location	Loot Tier	Avg. Players	Best For
1	Central Observatory	Purple/Gold	12–18	Fast purple weapons & keycards
2	North Peak Bunker Alpha	Gold	10–14	Guaranteed legendary crate
3	Ice Cave Vault	Purple	8–12	Safe early loot + quick extract
4	South Ridge Labs	Purple	9–15	High-tier armor & meds
5	Radio Tower	Blue/Purple	6–10	Best rotation control

Safest Extraction Routes (Post-Cold Snap)

Route A (North) → Ski Slope Ice Slide → West Extract (8 (60s timer, low traffic)
Route B (Central) → Observatory Zipline → Hidden Cave Extract (blizzard cover)
Route C (South) → Labs Tunnel → South Extract12 (most contested – avoid unless full squad)
  

Third-Party Avoidance & Rotation Tips

• Never fight in the open during snowfall – use ice slides to flank from high ground.
• Observatory roof = god spot: 360° vision + zipline escape.
• Bunker Alpha has 3 entrances – always pre-nade the stairs.
• Listen for ice footsteps – they’re 2× louder than normal ground.

Best Loadout for Stella Montis

• Primary: Aphelion BR or Shredder AR (range + snow penetration)
• Secondary: Matriarch SMG (CQC in bunkers)
• Armor: Cold-resistant purple set + traction boots
• Utility: 2× heat flares + 1 keycard

Verdict: Drop Hot, Extract Rich

Stella Montis rewards aggression and map knowledge. Know the spawns, master ice slides, and you’ll extract gold every raid. Add loot ESP and you’ll never miss a legendary crate again.
