ARC Raiders Frozen Trail Boost
Boosts for the Frozen Trail update: Outpost unlock and upgrades, Research Station, Reward Pass, Pendola Pass and Frigate runs, plus the new Bantam and Stiletto.
Frozen Trail is ARC Raiders update 2.0, released on 8 October 2026 and the biggest content drop since launch. It adds a frozen new map, a personal base, a new progression pass and a fresh batch of craftable items, and almost all of it takes time to unlock. This section gathers every Onlyfarms service built around the update, so you can catch up on the new systems without spending your first weeks farming planks and ARC parts.
What Frozen Trail Brings
- The Outpost – your own base, opened through the three-stage Sheltered Retreat project and expanded with new rooms up to level 4.
- Research Station – unlocked with the Outpost and used to research blueprints and furniture Designs, with amplified weapon research at level 4.
- Pendola Pass – a frozen mountain map around an old observatory. High-value loot zones shift from raid to raid, and Flash Freeze forces you into shelter.
- ARC Frigate – a new map condition in which a Frigate hovers over the area and leaves little room for mistakes.
- Reward Pass – replaces Raider Decks. The Frozen Trail Pass has 60 levels on Free and Premium tracks, and older decks moved to the Legacy Pass.
- New items – the Bantam hand cannon, the Stiletto battle rifle, weapon Stencils and around a hundred furniture Designs for the Outpost.
- New enemies – Bully, Skulker and Hydra joined the ARC roster.
Frozen Trail Services at Onlyfarms
- Outpost Unlock and Upgrade – we finish one Sheltered Retreat stage or all of them, including the photo task on The Blue Gate, the material contributions and the ARC combat objectives. After that, the Outpost Upgrade raises your base level by level, farming every expansion material. Each Outpost level also sets the cap for your Research Station, so the two are often ordered together.
- Research Station Leveling – pick a target level up to 4 and we cover the upgrade materials, from Planks and Mini Pumps to ARC Data Modules and a Frigate Inductor. Choose Piloted for a hands-off upgrade, or Self-play to receive the materials in a raid and submit them yourself. The Workshop Leveling service can include the station as well.
- Frozen Trail Bundle – the complete base package: Outpost unlocked and raised to level 4, Research Station built and raised to level 4, with optional character leveling to 18 if you are below the Sheltered Retreat requirement.
- Reward Pass Boost – our player completes Feats and weekly milestones to push your Reward Pass toward level 60, catches up on the Legacy Pass up to level 62, or farms a set amount of Reward Points. Premium Track items need Premium access on your account.
- Pendola Pass and Frigate Runs – pendola Pass raids focus on the active high-value zones, with a loot value target for Piloted runs and Duo or Trio squads for Self-play. The Frigate boost handles the operation, the puzzle and the fights, then gets your Raider out with the loot. More maps are in the Raids section.
- New Items – the Bantam and Stiletto come at Tier IV, from one to ten per order. Stencils give compatible weapons a permanent new finish, and Designs are furniture recipes for your Outpost. Blueprints and materials for the new research are also available among our items.
How It Works
- Choose the service, your platform and the stage or level you need.
- An Onlyfarms manager contacts you via live chat or Discord to check your current progress and agree on timing.
- Our player starts, usually within 1–2 hours after confirmation, and plays by hand in Piloted mode or with you in Self-play.
- You get a notification once the work is done, and the new rooms, levels and items stay on your account.
Frozen Trail FAQ
Do I need to unlock the Outpost before ordering upgrades?
No. If your base is still locked, add the Outpost unlock option to the upgrade or the Research Station order, and we do the steps in the right order.
Why can I not upgrade the Research Station further?
Each station level needs an Outpost of at least the same level: Outpost 2 for station 2, 3 for station 3, 4 for station 4. Add Outpost leveling to the order and we handle both.
Can you level my Reward Pass without Premium?
Yes. We raise the pass level and you receive the Free Track rewards. Premium Track items unlock only if Premium is active on your account.
Are Frozen Trail orders Piloted only?
Outpost, Reward Pass and the Frozen Trail Bundle are Piloted, because the progress happens on your account. Research Station materials, Pendola Pass, Frigate runs and the new items can also be done in Self-play.
Will these services stay after the next update?
Outpost, Research Station and the new items are permanent systems, and we plan to keep these services for as long as the content is in the game. When Embark Studios changes requirements, we update the options.
