Spend Your Free 1,000 Raider Tokens Like a Pro: 5 Must-Buy ARC Raiders Outfits
Bundle up: ARC Raiders’ Cold Snap blankets the game with winter festivities, and Embark Studios is gifting 1,000 free Raider Tokens to anyone who logs in before January 13.
ARC Raiders just flipped on its winter switch with the Cold Snap update, which basically means a bunch of snowy events and festive stuff to mess around with for a bit. Quick PSA: if you log in during the Winter Event before January 13, Embark is handing out 1,000 Raider Tokens for free as a holiday thank-you. Free currency means outfit shopping, and while the wardrobe in this game can be hit or miss, there are some undeniable winners that feel worth the tokens.
The outfits actually worth your free 1,000 Raider Tokens
- Leviathan — 1,000 Raider Tokens: Big protagonist energy. You get that gleaming deep-sea diving helmet, bits of sea urchin and fishing rope, and chunky metal plates that look salvaged from something you probably were not supposed to be near. It is dramatic in the best way and feels like a statement set if you want to look like you run Speranza, not just pass through it.
- Mirage — 1,000 Raider Tokens: Desert-ready and unapologetically loud. Built for the Rust Belt sun and the dust, with the option to slap on headgear with goggles or go without. It is practical-looking but still stylized, and it stands out instantly in a crowd.
- Chap — 800 Raider Tokens: Sleek scavenger vibe that does not slow you down. Comes with headgear and goggles, plus a sharp jacket-and-scarf combo that actually suits the Cold Snap season. It walks the line between cobbled-together and premium, and for the price, it is a steal.
- Voltedge — 800 Raider Tokens: If you like ARC Raiders branding, this one leans into those rainbow tones and does it well. You also get real customization: toggle the headgear, headset, hose, and shoulder pad to dial in the look. Clean, colorful, and way better than the price tag suggests.
- Velati — 800 Raider Tokens: Minimalist base with a few flashy flourishes. The visor, the cassette player, and the bag do the heavy lifting here, and the color options keep it from feeling generic. It looks like it belongs right at Speranza in the best way.
- Luna — 800 Raider Tokens (honorable mention): Astronaut-themed and cool without trying too hard. If you are chasing that space suit aesthetic, this scratches the itch.
- Astrolite — 800 Raider Tokens (honorable mention): Another astronaut-inspired pick, different flavor, same price. Great if you want options in the cosmic lane.
If you want to blow the entire free stash at once, Leviathan or Mirage are the big swings. If you prefer value, grab one of the 800-token fits and bank the extra 200 for a rainy day (you will not quite have enough for two 800s off the freebie alone). Either way, these are the sets that actually feel worth the clicks.
