The wind howled, carrying snowflakes that stung your face as you patrolled the perimeter. An ARC patrol crested the ridge, weapons hot, their red eyes reflecting the flickering neon of the ruined city. It was supposed to be a season of peace, but survival always comes first in ARC Raiders.
The Cold Snap update has transformed the world, but one key promise from the roadmap remains unfulfilled: the arrival of the second Raider Deck, the game’s take on a battle pass. Let’s examine everything we know about it, because time is running out.
ARC Raiders Raider Deck 2 — Everything We Know
Word on the street is, ARC Raiders‘ second Raider Deck is coming Dec. 26. The name? “The Goalie,” themed after hockey. This meshes with the winter vibe introduced by the Cold Snap update.
Like the first Raider Deck, “The Goalie” will be available to all players without charge, permanently. The first Raider Deck will remain available. There’s no penalty for newcomers to jump straight into the second.
Will Raider Deck 1 Disappear?
The beauty of ARC Raiders lies in its accessibility. The original Raider Deck isn’t going anywhere. It’s a permanent fixture, allowing players to progress at their own speed. Think of it like a library – the old books don’t vanish just because new ones arrive. It’s a testament to the game’s player-friendly design.
Raider Deck 2 offers rewards that you can acquire with Cred. You get Cred by playing the game or completing quests. No purchases or real money are needed. Both Raider Decks might even give you premium currency. Save it up. Eventually, you might purchase actual cosmetics without spending a dime (€0).
The clock is ticking. The new Deck is about to drop, the last piece of the Cold Snap update. Thematically it sounds like a great addition. But will its content be enough to satiate fans who have been crying out for variety?
How Do Raider Decks Work?
Imagine a constantly shifting art exhibit; the Raider Decks are similar. As you play ARC Raiders, you earn Cred, which in turn grants you access to items in the Deck. Raider Decks aren’t just about rewards; they’re about consistent engagement. Each Deck is an opportunity to unlock fresh content by doing the things you already enjoy.
What Kind of Rewards Will I Get?
The rewards are more than simple window dressing; they’re a chance to express your individuality in a hostile environment. You might find weapon skins, character customizations, or unique emotes. It’s a chance to make a statement, to show the ARCs that you’re not just surviving – you’re thriving (€0).
The release is imminent. Does the update deliver enough to rekindle the community’s enthusiasm? Or will it fade like footprints in the snow?
