Cred is gone. Embark removed it in the Frozen Trail 2.0 update on October 8, 2026 and replaced it with Reward Points.
We originally wrote this page as a spending guide for the days before the cutoff. It now explains what replaced Cred, with a short look back at how the old system worked.

What Replaced Cred
Embark’s official 2.0 patch notes state that Cred has been removed. Reward Points replace it and go automatically toward whichever pass is active.
That is the key difference. Cred was something you chose where to spend. Reward Points just feed your current pass.
Embark’s Reward Pass post says players accumulated Cred at a rate that became difficult to keep up with, and presents Reward Passes as the fix; it does not say players stockpiled it or finished new decks on launch day. The Legacy Pass is free, combines Raider Deck cosmetics and Raider Tokens, and progressing it earns the Raider Deck rewards you missed.
How Reward Points Work
You earn Reward Points by completing Feats:
| Feat difficulty | Reward Points | Weekly milestone progress |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | 15 | +1 |
| Medium | 25 | +2 |
| Hard | 50 | +3 |
There are 3 weekly milestones each week. Each is worth 250 Reward Points and requires 4, 8 and 12 weekly milestone progress.
You can keep completing Feats once you’ve hit the top milestone. No major milestone rewards are granted until the weekly reset. If you want a calmer way to grind Feats, our PvE toggle test breakdown covers the October 13-20 rules.
Our reward pass breakdown covers what the Free and Premium tracks give you. The wider changes are in our Frozen Trail update guide.
What Happened to Raider Decks
Raider Decks moved into the Legacy Pass. Rewards you had already unlocked were kept.
Only one pass can be active at a time. That means you pick between the Legacy Pass and the new Frozen Trail Pass (60 levels, Free and Premium tracks) for where your Reward Points go.
Premium costs 1,150 Raider Tokens. Our reward pass breakdown works out whether it pays for itself.
How Cred Used to Work
This is kept for reference, since plenty of older guides still mention Cred.
- Where it was spent: Shani’s trader stock and the three Raider Decks (Starter, Goalie and Surgeon).
- How you earned it: 1 Cred per 2,000 experience gained Topside, plus daily Feats capped at 80 Cred per 24 hours.
- The cap: a soft cap of 800 since Update 1.7.0.
- Shani today: her offers are now Coin-based and include Cameras and Light Sticks, per the 2.0 notes.

FAQ
What happened to Cred in Arc Raiders?
Cred was removed in the Frozen Trail 2.0 update on October 8, 2026. Embark replaced it with Reward Points, which go automatically toward whichever pass is active.
What are Reward Points in Arc Raiders?
Reward Points are the progression currency that replaced Cred. You earn them from Feats, and they apply automatically to the active pass, so there is nothing to spend them on manually.
How do I earn Reward Points?
Complete Feats. Easy Feats give 15 Reward Points, Medium give 25 and Hard give 50. Each also adds 1, 2 or 3 weekly milestone progress. Three weekly milestones are worth 250 Reward Points each.
What happened to Raider Decks?
Raider Decks moved into the Legacy Pass, and rewards you had already unlocked were kept. Only one pass can be active at a time, so you switch between the Legacy Pass and the Frozen Trail Pass.
Did my leftover Cred convert into anything?
Embark’s 2.0 patch notes say Cred was removed and replaced by Reward Points. They don’t describe a conversion rate or compensation for leftover balances.
Do Raider Tokens still exist?
Yes. Raider Tokens are a separate currency. Reward Passes pay them out: up to 200 on the Free track, up to 1,150 on Premium.
Was the Cred soft cap of 800 carried over?
No. Cred had a soft cap of 800 since Update 1.7.0, but Cred itself no longer exists, so the cap no longer applies.
