I dropped into a lobby the first day the Frozen Trail update hit and felt the quiet shift — everyone was poking the new menu. You could almost hear choices being rerouted in real time, and I knew I had to map what changed. The new Reward Pass isn’t just a skin refresh; it asks you to decide how you want to spend your time.
What Is the Reward Pass in Arc Raiders?
In my first post-update lobby, half the squad were squinting at the new interface.
I’ll keep this sharp: the Reward Pass replaces the old Raider Deck when the Frozen Trail update launches on October 8, 2026. It acts like a traditional battle pass with two tracks — Free and Premium — and stretches across 60 levels. Expect outfits, cosmetic toggles, gadgets, weapons, and in-game Raider Tokens. The developer says new Reward Passes will arrive with each major update as the team moves to a twice-yearly release cadence for Arc Raiders.
How to Get the Frozen Trail Reward Pass in Arc Raiders
Last night I booted the game and found the Reward Pass tab sitting where the old Deck used to be.
There are two ways to move through the pass: you can earn the Free track by completing quests and objectives, or you can buy the Premium track with Raider Tokens. The Premium Reward Pass costs 1,150 Raider Tokens. With that premium track you gain access to exclusive toggles, modifications, colorways, legendary weapon stencils, unique hairstyles, and even a chunk of Raider Tokens back as part of the rewards.
Practical steps if you want the Premium pass:
- Launch Arc Raiders on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, or PlayStation 5.
- Open the Reward Pass tab (it replaced the Decks tab).
- Select “Purchase Pass” and confirm the Premium pass for 1,150 Raider Tokens.
If you complete the Premium track fully, you can effectively recover the Raider Tokens you spent — so the pass can pay for itself if you finish it.
How much does the Arc Raiders Frozen Trail Reward Pass cost?
The Premium Frozen Trail Reward Pass costs 1,150 Raider Tokens. You can earn back that spend by progressing through the pass, since one of the Premium rewards includes Raider Tokens that offset the initial purchase.
How do I get the Frozen Trail Reward Pass?
Buy it from the Reward Pass tab in-game for 1,150 Raider Tokens, or simply play and progress on the Free track to claim non-premium items. I recommend checking community hubs on Discord and the Arc Raiders subreddit to time purchases around events or token sales posted on the game’s official Twitter and YouTube channels.
All Skins and Rewards in the Frozen Trail Reward Pass
On stream, a creator scrolled through the sample outfits and paused at the legendary tier.
The studio has shared five Premium-only outfits so far: Ice Giant, Caposta, Carriga, Deadwire, and Banshee. The rest of the tiers — including free skins and gadget drops — haven’t been fully revealed yet, but the early samples point to a heavy cosmetic focus.
The pass stacks items like a glacier of cosmetics: steady layers that melt into a visible progression as you play. Expect cosmetic toggles and colorways to remain Premium-only, while the Free track will still hand out select skins and items so you never feel left behind entirely.
I’ll update this piece as the developer shares the full tier list and any cross-platform token bundles the store teams might add on Steam, Microsoft Store, or PlayStation Store. For now, decide: will you grind the Free track or buy the Premium pass and chase every cosmetic reward — and what does that choice say about how you play Arc Raiders?
