Everything New In The Arc Raiders Cold Snap Update

"Arc Raiders' second major update, Cold Snap, is seasonally appropriate, bringing plenty of snow and chilly conditions to the popular extraction shooter. In the Cold Snap update, players can now explore snow-covered maps while braving the elements, unlock tons of new cosmetics and other fun items, and (optionally) see their raider off with the game's first Expedition reset. However, some of this is only available for a limited time, so you'll want to know what you're getting into. Since there's so much here to see and do, let's dive in and take a look at everything new in the Cold Snap update."

"The Cold Snap update includes the second Raider Deck since Arc Raiders' launch--the Goalie Raider Deck--though it won't be accessible until Friday, December 26. As with the previous deck, this fresh addition is free for all players, meaning you won't have to spend any of your precious real-life money to get all the goodies inside. However, since Raider Decks function like a battle pass you'd see in many other games, you will need to spend some time working toward earning Creds via the daily Feats system if you want to purchase everything. And you may very well want to do so, as it contains a new hockey-inspired outfit, other cosmetics, and even in-game items that can help you on your raids."

"Note that, unlike standard battle passes in most live-service titles, this Raider Deck is a permanent addition to the game. As such, you can unlock its rewards at your own pace without fear that it'll disappear after a set period of time. It's uncertain whether this trend will continue with every Raider Deck, but it's nice to see for now."

Cold Snap adds snow-covered maps and introduces a Snowfall map condition that coats maps in snow. Players can explore snowy environments while contending with chilly conditions. The update introduces the Goalie Raider Deck, the second Raider Deck, which becomes accessible on December 26 and is free for all players. Raider Decks operate like a battle pass and require earning Creds through daily Feats to unlock rewards. The Goalie Deck includes a hockey-inspired outfit, additional cosmetics, and in-game items to assist on raids. The Goalie Raider Deck is a permanent addition, allowing rewards to be unlocked at any pace.
