Rain lashes the Rust Belt as the squad collapses beneath a hail of ARC fire; you stare at your screen, raw med-kit icon blinking. One click away is a Surgeon-themed Deck that changes how you play — a secret med-kit in a storm. I’m going to show you how to claim it without spending a cent and why getting it first matters.
I’ve chased seasonal decks and tracked studio drops for years, so you won’t have to snipe menus blind. You and I will move fast: find the Deck, “buy” The Surgeon for free, then use simple Daily Feats to pay for every page with Cred. Think of this as a field manual — clear, terse, and built to keep you in the raid.
How to Claim Free Arc Raiders Surgeon Deck
I once watched a raid lose two players because they wasted time on an empty rewards grind.
Here’s the direct route I recommend. You’ll be in and out in minutes if you follow the order.
- Open the Decks tab. On PC (Steam) or console menus, the Decks area lists seasonal and legacy decks. Find The Surgeon among the entries — it sits beside previous releases like Raider Deck 2.
- Select “purchase.” The Surgeon shows as free: you can “buy” it without Raider Tokens or real money. That registers the Deck on your account.
- Progress with Cred. The Deck’s pages cost Cred, the in-game currency. You don’t need to spend real currency; Cred comes from gameplay.
- Use Daily Feats. These short challenges hand Cred quickly — destroy specific ARC enemies, collect medical supplies during raids, or finish simple objectives. Daily Feats are low-effort and high-return; they’re a breadcrumb trail through the Rust Belt.
- Claim rewards as you go. Spend Cred on the items you want first (cosmetics, gadgets, or tokens), then work toward bigger pages like outfit variants.
How do I claim the free Surgeon Deck?
You claim it from the Decks tab. Tap purchase on The Surgeon and progress its pages with Cred earned through Daily Feats — no Raider Tokens required to get the Deck itself.
Do I need Raider Tokens to get the Surgeon Deck?
No. The Deck costs zero Raider Tokens to add to your account. Raider Tokens appear inside the Deck as rewards at certain Cred tiers, but they’re not a prerequisite to obtain the Deck entry.
All Free Arc Raiders Surgeon Deck Rewards
When I first scrolled the Surgeon pages, I paused at the med-kit attachments and utilities and realized the set was designed for support players.
The Surgeon Deck mixes cosmetics with support tools: backpack attachments, grenades, defibrillators, and several Raider Token bundles. Below is the full in-game table of items and Cred costs — spend strategically: small items buy early momentum, big cosmetics need patient Cred farming.

What rewards are in the Surgeon Deck?
The table above lists every item. Prioritize utility (defibrillators, Surge Shield Rechargers) early if you play support; grab cosmetics later once Cred accumulates.
Practical tips I use: run the Daily Feats on short sessions, chase the high-frequency Cred tasks first, and trade small Raider Token bundles for items that immediately change your survivability. If you stream or post clips, mention Steam and console store locations where the Deck appears — community traction often leads to small freebie events tied to the studio’s announcements.
The Surgeon Deck is free to claim; the grind is light, and the rewards tilt the playstyle toward support — do you grab the med-kit cosmetics first or build a utility cache for future raids?
