ARC Raiders Kills Raider Decks for a $10 Reward Pass That Pays for Itself

Embark Studios posted on September 28 that Raider Decks are gone when the Frozen Trail update lands October 8. Players banked so much Cred that they finished new decks on day one. The replacement Reward Pass has 60 levels: a free track with every new weapon and gadget plus up to 200 Raider Tokens, and a premium track for 1,150 tokens (about $10) that adds up to 1,150 more. Pendola Pass also gets dynamic loot zones that reshuffle each POI's value every session.

  1. A paid pass that refunds more than it costs: generous, or the hook that keeps you grinding forever?
  2. Were Raider Decks broken, or were players just too good at saving Cred?
  3. Dynamic loot zones: fresh routes every raid, or the end of learning a map properly?
  4. Would you buy the premium track on day one, or wait to see how fast Feats go?
