ARC Raiders Reward Pass: Where Cred Went and Why the Wrong Pass Is Progressing
On this page
Frozen Trail replaces Cred with Reward Points and moves old Raider Deck rewards into the Legacy Pass. Only one Reward Pass is active at a time, so check the selected pass before concluding that progress is missing. Previously unlocked Legacy rewards remain granted; a Premium purchase is not required just to locate them.

Separate three questions: which rewards you already own, which pass is receiving new progress, and whether an end-of-round screen displayed that progress correctly. Solving one of these does not automatically answer the other two.
What to do, in order
- Open the pass interface and inspect the active pass name. Update 2.1 adds that name to the details screen.
- If looking for an old Raider Deck reward, inspect the Legacy Pass and distinguish an already-granted reward from an unearned one.
- Set the pass that matches your current goal as active before planning the next series of Feats.
- After a run, inspect the actual pass and milestone state. The 2.1 notes fix progress display issues, including old milestones being counted again on the round screen.
Choose the check that matches the problem
| Situation | What it means | Useful next decision |
|---|---|---|
| Old unlocked cosmetic | Check the Legacy Pass’s granted state. | Do not start a new purchase merely because the old Raider Deck layout is gone. |
| A new gameplay item | Inspect the Free track described by the developer. | Premium is described as an additional cosmetic offering, not a requirement for its exclusive gameplay weapons. |
| New points went somewhere unexpected | Check which pass was active. | Choosing a goal and activating its pass are separate actions. |
Reward Points and milestone progress are different counters
The 2.0 Feat rules assign Easy tasks 15 Reward Points and one milestone-progress unit, Medium tasks 25 and two, and Hard tasks 50 and three. Weekly milestones occur at four, eight and twelve progress, each granting 250 points. Do not read the progress units as if they were the same currency as the awarded points.
A practical way to apply the rule
Starting at zero weekly progress, four Easy Feats give 60 direct points and reach the first 250-point milestone, for 310 in that simplified example. Two Medium Feats give 50 direct points and also reach four progress, for 300. This compares the published arithmetic, not completion speed: the actual objectives and any other rewards still matter.
Common misreadings and failure checks
My old Cred balance is gone
Cred was replaced as part of the system change; look at the new pass structure rather than an old spending guide.
The round screen and pass tile disagree
The 2.1 update addresses several progress and completed-level display faults. Check the updated pass details.
More Feats stopped granting big milestones
There are three weekly milestones in the stated rules. More Feats do not create an unlimited chain of those milestone rewards.
