Arc Raiders’ Premium Reward Pass costs 1,150 Raider Tokens and pays back up to 1,150 Raider Tokens as you complete it, Embark Studios said on September 28, 2026, in a post explaining Reward Passes, the progression system that replaces Raider Decks with the Frozen Trail update on October 8.
The Details
Frozen Trail launches with two passes: the Frozen Trail Reward Pass and a Legacy Reward Pass. The Frozen Trail Pass has 60 levels, with two tracks:
- Free Pass: all the new base outfits, plus new cosmetics, weapons, gadgets, items and up to 200 Raider Tokens.
- Premium Pass: premium toggles, modifications and colorways for the new outfits, exclusive legendary weapon stencils, hairstyles and up to 1,150 Raider Tokens.
Embark stresses two points. The Premium Pass “doesn’t contain items that benefit gameplay”, since weapons and gadgets sit on the free track. And because it costs 1,150 Raider Tokens, “completing it means earning back the currency it takes to obtain it.”
The Legacy Reward Pass folds every cosmetic reward and Raider Token from the old Raider Decks into a single free pass, and anything you already earned stays unlocked.
Embark also explained why the decks are going. Players built up Cred faster than new decks arrived, so “many players were able to finish them right away”, which made the rewards “feel much less… rewarding” and left little reason to keep doing Feats.
For players who want everything, the Frozen Trail Collector Set DLC includes the Renzo cosmetic set, a Dragon’s Breath weapon stencil, a Bob hairstyle, 2,400 Raider Tokens and Premium Pass access, plus a Retro Sofa for your Raider Outpost. It is also the only way to get the blueprint for the new Banjo instrument.
What This Means for Players
If you worried the new system would put power behind a paywall, Embark’s answer is that it won’t: new weapons and gadgets are on the free track. The Premium Pass is a cosmetic track that refunds its own cost if you finish all 60 levels.
The bigger change is pacing. Rewards are now tied to the update they launch with and earned by playing through it, rather than bought out on day one with saved Cred. For more on where Embark is taking the game, see our report on its upcoming PvE toggle test.
