The Frozen Trail update is introducing a new progression system to ARC Raiders called the Reward Pass. It replaces the previous Raider Deck system and gives players a more structured way to earn cosmetics, gameplay items, Raider Tokens, and other rewards while completing Feats.
The change arrives with the Frozen Trail update on October 8 and is designed around the new content coming with the update. Instead of relying on accumulated Cred to unlock Raider Deck rewards, players will progress through dedicated Reward Pass tracks as they play.
For players preparing for Frozen Trail, understanding the new system is useful before deciding how to spend resources or approach the new progression. Keeping a good selection of ARC Raiders Items in your inventory can also make it easier to focus on completing Feats while exploring the new content.
What Is the Reward Pass?
Reward Passes are the evolution of Raider Decks. Players complete Feats to progress through the pass and unlock different rewards.
The Frozen Trail update launches with two main Reward Passes:
Frozen Trail Reward Pass
Legacy Reward Pass
The Frozen Trail Pass contains 60 levels and is divided into Free and Premium tracks. This gives players access to the new progression system without requiring everyone to purchase the premium version.
The rewards are also more varied than simple cosmetic unlocks. Depending on the track, players can earn outfits, cosmetic items, weapons, gadgets, other useful items, and Raider Tokens.
What Is Included in the Free Pass?
The Free Pass provides access to a substantial portion of the Frozen Trail rewards.
It includes five new base outfits, cosmetic items, gameplay-related rewards, and up to 200 Raider Tokens. Additional cosmetics include Scrappy Outfits, furniture, charms, attachments, and emotes.
This means players who do not purchase the Premium Pass can still experience the new progression system and earn rewards simply by playing the game and completing Feats.
The Free Pass is also important because the gameplay-related rewards remain available through the free track rather than being locked behind the premium option.
What Does the Premium Pass Add?
The Premium Pass focuses primarily on additional customization.
Players who unlock the premium track can receive premium outfit toggles, exclusive colorways, weapon stencils, hairstyles, and up to 1,150 Raider Tokens.
One important detail is that the Premium Pass does not contain gameplay-benefiting items such as weapons or gadgets that are exclusive to premium players. Those types of rewards remain available through the Free Pass.
The Premium Pass can also be obtained for 1,150 Raider Tokens, matching the maximum number of Tokens included in the pass. This creates a progression loop for players who complete the full track.
The Legacy Reward Pass
The second pass arriving with Frozen Trail is the Legacy Reward Pass.
This pass brings the previous Raider Deck rewards together into one free progression track. Players do not lose rewards they already earned from the old system, and previously unlocked content remains unlocked.
For anyone who did not complete earlier Raider Decks, the Legacy Pass provides a way to continue working toward rewards that were missed.
This makes the transition to Reward Passes more straightforward. Existing progress is not simply discarded when Raider Decks are retired.
Reward Pass and ARC Raiders Blueprints for Sale
The new progression system also fits into the broader equipment progression coming with Frozen Trail. Players interested in ARC Raiders BluePrints for sale may want to keep progression separate from their normal weapon and equipment planning.
Reward Passes are mainly about earning content through Feats, while systems such as the Research Workstation focus on researching equipment and unlocking higher levels of weapon customization.
Frozen Trail therefore gives players several different progression paths rather than putting every reward into one system. The Reward Pass handles seasonal-style progression, the Legacy Pass preserves older rewards, and the new research systems add another layer to equipment development.
With 60 levels in the Frozen Trail Pass and separate Free and Premium tracks, the new system gives Raiders a clear progression route to follow when the update arrives. Combined with Pendola Pass, Outposts, Amplified Weapons, new ARC enemies, and the Frigate, the Reward Pass becomes another major part of the Frozen Trail experience.
