Reward Pass at a Glance
Levels
Progressed by completing Feats, tied to the Frozen Trail update.
Premium cost
And the Premium track pays out up to 1,150 Raider Tokens, so finishing it refunds the price.
Launches
With Frozen Trail. Raider Decks become the Legacy Pass the same day.
Why Raider Decks Had to Go
Embark is candid about the problem. Players built up Cred faster than new content could absorb it, so when a fresh Raider Deck dropped, many people finished it on day one with saved-up Cred. The rewards stopped feeling like rewards, and there was little reason to keep chasing Feats.
Reward Passes are meant to fix that with a longer progression curve, and each pass is tied to the update it ships with, so the new weapons, gadgets and items from that update can be earned by everyone just by playing. That is also why Cred is retiring: the new system does not run on a stockpile.

Embark's infographic names the five outfits shown in their premium versions: Caposta, Carriga, Deadwire, Banshee and Ice Giant. Based on the post, the base versions of the new outfits sit on the Free track and the Premium track unlocks their toggles, modifications and colourways.
Is Premium worth it? If you will actually play the pass to level 60, it is effectively free after the first purchase: you spend 1,150 tokens and earn 1,150 back, ready for the next pass. The risk is only if you stall partway. And because Premium has no gameplay items, skipping it costs you nothing in raids. The new guns and gadgets, including everything from the First Look, are on the Free track.
The Free track's 200 tokens is the other number to note. It will not buy you into Premium on its own, so going Premium once takes either saved tokens or the Collector Set.
The Legacy Pass: Nothing From Raider Decks Is Lost
The Legacy Reward Pass merges every cosmetic reward and every Raider Token from all past Raider Decks into a single free pass. If you already unlocked something, it stays unlocked there. Progressing the Legacy Pass earns everything you did not get the first time around, without Cred.
This is the answer to the biggest worry when Cred retirement was announced. Newer players get a free path to every old Deck cosmetic, and veterans lose nothing. The only thing that does not carry over is unspent Cred itself.
Frozen Trail Collector Set DLC

The Collector Set is the "everything" option. It includes the Premium Reward Pass itself, which the key art describes as 50 additional premium rewards, plus:
- Renzo outfit and the Renzo Helm Scrappy cosmetic
- Dragon's Breath weapon stencil
- Kabuki Face Paint face style and the Bob hairstyle
- Renegade Censer backpack attachment and the Scasso raider tool
- Retro Sofa furniture recipe, exclusive, for your Outpost
- Banjo blueprint, and this is the only way to get it
- 2,400 Raider Tokens
Two things stand out. The token maths is generous: 2,400 tokens plus a Premium pass that itself refunds 1,150 means you finish Frozen Trail with a large balance for the next pass. And the Banjo is Collector-Set-only. It is cosmetic, but the dev team spent a noticeable part of the First Look video talking about how much they love playing it, so expect it to be the item people ask about most. The Harmonica is the other new instrument in the update, and Embark has not tied it to the DLC.
