ARC Raiders skins come from more places than they used to. The Frozen Trail update replaced Raider Decks with a Reward Pass, added weapon skins (Stencils), and kept the old deck outfits in a free Legacy Pass. On top of that you have the weekly store, Trials rewards, quests, Expeditions and the Nomadic Envoy, Ermal.
This guide covers every outfit source that’s live in the Frozen Trail update, the full ARC Raiders skin list grouped by where each outfit comes from, the free skins you can still earn, and the ones we think are worth your time or your Raider Tokens.

Frozen Trail Reward Pass Skins
The Reward Pass is ARC Raiders’ version of a battle pass. It has 60 tiers with a free track and a premium track, and you level it by completing Feats and Milestones. It replaced Raider Decks, which players could finish instantly with stockpiled Cred.
The free track gives you all five new outfits in their base form. The premium track, which costs 1,150 Raider Tokens, adds their colourways, toggles and helmets, plus exclusive Stencils and hairstyles. It also pays back 1,150 Raider Tokens across its tiers, so finishing all 60 tiers covers the cost of the next pass. Weapons and gadgets sit on the free track only, so the premium side is purely cosmetic.
| Outfit | Free track | Premium track |
|---|---|---|
| Caposta | Base outfit at tier 1 | Accessories, colours and helmet (tiers 1 to 10) |
| Carriga | Base outfit at tier 13 | Accessories, colours and mask (tiers 13 to 22) |
| Deadwire | Base outfit at tier 25, mask at tier 31 | Accessories, colours and helmet (tiers 25 to 34) |
| Ice Giant | Base outfit at tier 37, balaclava at tier 43 | Accessories, colours and helmet (tiers 37 to 46) |
| Banshee | Base outfit at tier 49 | Accessories, colours, jacket and gas mask (tiers 49 to 59) |
Other skins on the pass:
- Raider Tools: Welded Pickaxe (free, tier 29) and Glacier Smasher (premium, tier 43).
- Backpacks: Steamwright (premium, tier 3) and Hearthkeeper (premium, tier 15).
- Weapon Stencils (premium): Fortuna (tier 11), Sacrifice (tier 23), Bulwark (tier 35), Serac (tier 47) and Empyrean (tier 57).
- Scrappy hats: Conductor Hat (premium) and the Deadwire, Ice Giant and Banshee helmets, split across both tracks.
- Emotes, charms and hairstyles: Choo-Choo, Smelly and Mock Scared emotes are free; the Short Dreads, Slickback Neat and High Ponytail hairstyles are premium.
The Frozen Trail Collector Set DLC includes premium pass access, the Renzo outfit set, the Dragon’s Breath Stencil, the Bob hairstyle and 2,400 Raider Tokens. The Dragon’s Breath Stencil isn’t available any other way.
Short on time to grind 60 tiers? Our ARC Raiders leveling service puts a pro on your account so the pass fills up while you’re away.
Free ARC Raiders Skins You Can Still Earn
You don’t need to spend anything to look good in ARC Raiders. These are the free skins available right now.
Maestro: Trials Season 6
Trials Season 6 started with Frozen Trail. Reach Tryhard II by the end of the season and you get the Maestro outfit, which comes with three colours (Gold, Red, Yellow) and eight toggles, including an exo arm, goggles, helmet and scarf. The season’s other rewards are the Infrared Transmitter backpack attachment, Sheriff Badge charm, Pumped Dance emote and Pop Helmet for Scrappy.
Trials open at Level 15. You score points on five weekly challenges, but they only count if you extract, and your division placement each Monday moves you up or down the ranks. Rewards are handed out at the end of the season based on your final rank, and higher ranks have historically added extra colours. Once earned, Trials cosmetics are yours for good.
Want Maestro without sweating the weekly ladder? Our ARC Raiders Trials boost gets your challenges done and your rank climbing.
Legacy Pass: the Old Raider Deck Skins
Everything from the old Raider Decks now lives in the free Legacy Pass. Anything you already unlocked stays unlocked, and you can keep progressing to pick up what you missed. That includes the Goalie, Ryder, Voyager and Surgeon outfits, the Icebreaker Raider Tool, and the Bruiser, Archeologist, Hiker and Paramedic backpacks.
The Goalie, which our earlier version of this guide covered in detail, comes in Blue, Cobalt White, Emerald Gleam and Yellow, with toggles for the headgear, jacket, padding, visor and waist bag.
Quest, Level and Expedition Outfits
- Origin: the default outfit. Extra colours come from quests such as Off The Radar and The Trifecta.
- Sforza: unlocks at Level 10. More colours and toggles arrive as you level, up to Level 75.
- Aviator: reward for the quest A Symbol Of Unification, with extra colours from later quests.
- Radio Renegade: earned through quests including Into The Fray and Switching The Supply, with more colours and toggles from follow-up quests.
- Warden: reward for The Stench Of Corruption.
- Patchwork: built up across Expeditions 1 to 3.
- Zenith: the Expedition 4 outfit.
Twitch Drops, Codes and Gifts
The Frozen Trail Twitch drops gave out the Oxygen Respirator (60 minutes watched) and Mailbox (2 hours) backpack attachments. That campaign ended on November 4, and Embark hasn’t announced a new one on its news page since. Some sites still list older drops, like the Spinning Top and Canned Tomatoes from the Riven Tides update, as current. They aren’t.
When the next campaign starts, link Twitch to your Embark ID at id.embark.games before you watch, make sure your PlayStation, Xbox or Steam account is linked to the same Embark ID, and claim each drop from your Twitch Drops inventory.
Two other sources worth checking:
- First anniversary gift: Embark sent every player a free gift to their in-game inbox for the game’s first anniversary on October 30.
- CORSAIR collab codes: every qualifying product from the official ARC Raiders x CORSAIR collection comes with a single-use code for exclusive in-game items, redeemed on the Embark ID portal. You pay for the hardware, not the code, and it’s the only way to get those items.
ARC Raiders Store Skins and Prices
The store takes Raider Tokens, the game’s premium currency. You buy tokens with real money, and you also earn them from the Reward Pass and sometimes from Ermal. Embark is back to weekly store updates, so new sets show up most weeks.
- Single outfits: most cost between 600 and 1,300 Raider Tokens.
- Full sets (outfit plus matching backpack and extras): usually 700 to 1,900 Raider Tokens, cheaper than buying the pieces one by one.
- Real-money sets: Bonecrown, Reaver and Wasp Hunter are sold for $20 rather than tokens.
- Deluxe Edition: the Valente outfit comes with the Deluxe Edition upgrade, and the G-Suit came with Deluxe Edition pre-orders.
New in the store: the Dead Eye set arrived in Store Update 2.4.0. It’s 1,300 Raider Tokens for the outfit alone or 1,600 for the limited-time featured bundle. Dead Eye has a fringed coat, chaps, a hat and a headset, with Brown, Black and Blue Denim colours. The week before, Update 2.3.0 added the Noxious set.
Missed Skins From the Nomadic Envoy (Ermal)
Ermal, the Nomadic Envoy, sets up in Speranza once you reach Level 25. His stock changes every week and can include cosmetics from past events, alongside blueprints, items and Raider Tokens. He doesn’t take money: you trade him ARC components, gear and specific items from Topside.
Outfits that have come through Ermal include Cavalier, Chap, Mirage and Striker, plus backpacks like the Cultist, Envoy and Traveler and the Snowy Mountain Pick and Space Wrench Raider Tools. If you missed an event outfit, check his stall each week.
ARC Raiders Weapon Skins: Stencils
Stencils are ARC Raiders’ weapon skins, added with Frozen Trail. They’re purely cosmetic and don’t touch your weapon’s stats; Weapon Amplification is the separate system that does that.
You complete a Stencil with Stencil Parts, and higher rarities need more parts. Parts come from the free Reward Pass track, from key-locked rooms in Pendola Pass, and occasionally as random loot. A Stencil stays unlocked if you die, so you can apply it again to the same weapon type.
| Stencil | Rarity | Fits | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bulwark | Legendary | Hullcracker | Premium pass, tier 35 |
| Serac | Legendary | Bobcat | Premium pass, tier 47 |
| Fortuna | Epic | Anvil | Premium pass, tier 11 |
| Sacrifice | Epic | Renegade | Premium pass, tier 23 |
| Dragon’s Breath | Epic | Not yet confirmed | Frozen Trail Collector Set only |
| Cerulean | Rare | Eight weapons, including Anvil, Bobcat, Bettina and Bantam | Stencil Parts |
| Vergidis | Uncommon | Eight weapons, including Osprey, Canto, Stiletto and Bobcat | Stencil Parts |
Cerulean and Vergidis fit the most weapons and need the fewest parts, so they’re the best place to start.

ARC Raiders Skins FAQ
Are ARC Raiders skins free?
Many are. The five Reward Pass outfits are free in their base form, and the Legacy Pass, Trials, quests, Sforza and Expedition outfits cost nothing. Store skins cost Raider Tokens, and the premium pass costs 1,150 Raider Tokens.
Is the Premium Reward Pass worth it?
If you’ll reach tier 60, yes: it pays back the full 1,150 Raider Tokens and you keep the colours, toggles, Stencils and hairstyles. If you only play a few hours a week, buy it later once you know you’ll get close to the end, because the token refunds are spread across the tiers and you only get all 1,150 back by finishing.
What happened to Raider Decks?
Frozen Trail replaced them with Reward Passes. Your unlocked deck rewards stayed unlocked, and every old deck item moved into the free Legacy Pass, so you can still earn the ones you missed.
Can you still get the Goalie skin?
Yes. It’s in the Legacy Pass along with its colours and toggles.
Are there ARC Raiders Twitch drops right now?
Not at the moment. The Frozen Trail drops ended on November 4, and Embark hasn’t announced a new campaign since.
Do skins or Stencils change gameplay?
No. Outfits and Stencils are cosmetic only. Weapon Amplification is the system that changes how a weapon performs.
Can you mix parts from different outfits?
No. You can turn an outfit’s own toggles on and off and pick its colours, but parts can’t be combined across outfits.
