How to Prepare for Frozen Trail in ARC Raiders

// PREPARATION & STRATEGY

The massive ‘Frozen Trail’ update expands the frontier into a brutal, freezing mountain valley north of the Rust Belt called Pendola Pass. This major expansion features dangerous climate storms, the massive fallen corpse of an ARC Emperor, customizable Personal Outposts, deadly new ARC ground units like the Bully and Hydra, and high-tier endgame Frigate Raids inside a colossal flying mothership. Here is the updated strategy to maximize your progression and safeguard assets before the patch drops.

* IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note that you will be in a much bigger rush to prepare if you happened to jump onto an expedition before this.
01 //

PROGRESSION & STASH SAFETY

All items in your stash, blueprints, and character levels are 100% safe and carry over into Frozen Trail. Your main character, level, stash, and Outpost progress never wipe. This is your permanent core account.

02 //

NO MANUAL QUEST RESETS & PROJECT COMPLETION

Do not manually reset your quests. Allow active projects to transition naturally into the patch to preserve all unlocked blueprints and vendor experience. It is highly recommended to complete your active projects, as they can yield valuable rewards such as a legendary Matriarch Core that carry over to boost your progress in Frozen Trail.

03 //

LIQUIDATE 100% OF YOUR ‘CRED’ CURRENCY

Your large numerical ‘Cred’ balance is being retired and wiped at patch day. Spend all Cred at traders now to convert disappearing currency into physical stash assets, weapons, and modifications.

04 //

HOARD AND CONSERVE YOUR ‘COINS’

Unlike Cred, your COINS carry over 100% into the update. Save every Coin to fund expensive Day One weapon crafting and Personal Outpost upgrades.

05 //

MAX OUT YOUR STASH CAPACITY

To properly store high-value loot and gear needed for Day One, maximize your physical storage space to its highest capacity before the expansion arrives.

06 //

MAX UPGRADE AND FULLY MODIFY STORED WEAPONS

Modifications (optics, suppressors, magazines) take up zero extra inventory slots when mounted on weapons. Fully modify stored guns to bypass stash capacity limits and hoard value.

07 //

HOARD HIGH-TIER CRAFTING MATERIALS FOR OUTPOSTS

The new Personal Outpost system introduces Weapon Amplification to upgrade weapons to Grade 5. Save rare materials now so you can immediately craft Grade 5 gear on Day One.

08 //

STOCKPILE SKILL POINTS & PREPARE FOR FREE RESET

The Skill Tree is undergoing a complete rework. All players receive a free Skill Tree Reset upon logging into Frozen Trail. You keep all earned skill points to instantly re-spec your character on Day One without leveling from scratch.

09 //

CONTINUE PLAYING FOR STASH PREPARATION

Playing right now directly builds up your permanent main track. You gain character level, accumulate Grade 5 crafting materials, and liquidate expiring Cred into physical assets for Pendola Pass.

DAY ONE READINESS SUMMARY

Your main character and stash are completely safe and will not wipe. Remaining assets are permanent. Make sure to spend your CRED before the update hits. Spend expiring Cred on physical gear, hoard COINS, max stash space, and save rare crafting materials for the new Personal Outpost system.

Arc Raiders Expeditions Before Frozen Trail

// EXPEDITION FEASIBILITY REPORT

The Expedition feature acts as a voluntary side project in ARC Raiders, distinct from the permanent Main Progression Track. Participating allows you to further empower your Raider, but it demands substantial resource donations. Below is the strategic breakdown to help you evaluate if it is worth the grind.

01 //

THE ADVANTAGES (PROS)

  • Bonus Skill Points: Earn permanent skill points to re-spec and further optimize your core character capabilities.
  • Expanded Stash Capacity: Unlock up to 12 extra permanent storage slots within your Personal Outpost.
  • Exclusive Cosmetic Rewards: Claim unique vanity items, including a rare outfit, cap, and account indicator icons.
  • Active Play Buffs: Gain active gameplay modifiers, such as a +10% faster repair speed and bonus XP multipliers.
02 //

THE DRAWBACKS (CONS)

  • Stash & Blueprints Wipe: Activating an Expedition requires a soft-wipe. You temporarily forfeit unlocked blueprints, leveling tiers, and unstored gear.
  • Extreme Resource Sink: Preparation demands hundreds of thousands of total value in currency, weaponry, and rare components to trigger milestones.
  • Diminishing Returns for Casuals: Unless you are highly active in the late-game loop, the permanent cosmetic items may not justify the loss of accumulated loot.

FINAL VERDICT

Expeditions are worth it if you have maxed out your Main Track, want to hoard permanent skill points for major reworks (like the Frozen Trail update), or crave exclusive cosmetics. Skip them if you prefer maintaining a steady arsenal and dislike restarting the early-game loop.
