Embark Studios launched the Goalie Raider Deck for ARC Raiders on December 26, marking the extraction shooter's second battle pass since its October launch. The free content drop arrived alongside the Cold Snap seasonal update that runs through mid-January 2026.
The hockey-themed reward track offers 28 items across five pages, including signature Goalie outfits, an Ice Breaker Raider Tool, and a Bruiser Backpack. Players can earn 550 Raider Tokens, the game's premium currency, by completing the deck according to Sportskeeda and TalkEsport coverage.
Unlike traditional battle passes, the Goalie Deck functions as a permanent reward track according to GameSpot and Bleeding Cool reports. Players maintain indefinite access to unlock items at their own pace rather than facing seasonal expiration dates.
Progression uses Cred currency earned through daily Feats, with players able to complete up to three per match according to GameSpot. The system requires purchasing items from current pages before advancing, a design choice that has divided the ARC Raiders community.
Some players praise the free cosmetic offerings and cohesive winter theme that aligns with the Cold Snap update's snowy environments. Others express frustration about needing to spend Cred on unwanted items to access preferred rewards according to Game Rant's community analysis.
The Goalie Deck represents Embark Studios' continued support for ARC Raiders following its late October release. The third-person extraction shooter maintains player engagement through seasonal updates and optional progression resets via the Expedition Project system.
All content remains accessible on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. The Cold Snap update's limited-time events and winter conditions will run through January 13, 2026, providing seasonal gameplay alongside the permanent Goalie Deck rewards.
