All new outfits in ARC Raiders Cold Snap and how to get them

The Cold Snap update has added a fair amount of new content to ARC Raiders, and you can collect several skins to customize the appearances of your raider.

Skins in ARC Raiders, commonly known as outfits, don’t have any in-game effect. They’re purely cosmetic in nature, but they do add a touch of flair, especially if you’re playing with your buddies. If you’ve been unsatisfied with the offerings so far, you can explore plenty of new options. Some of them can be obtained for absolutely free of charge.

How to get all Cold Snap update skins in ARC Raiders

The table below has information about all the new skins that were added as part of the Cold Snap update.

Outfit	How to unlock
Warden	Complete the Stench of Corruption quest, which is part of the new update. The quest is relatively simple, and you should be able to complete it quite quickly. If you manage to complete the Groundbreaking quest, you’ll unlock an extra color palette for the Warden outfit.
Hi-Tech Hiker	The Hi-Tech Hiker occupies a significant spot on the Gathering Candleberries live event. The event is part of the Flickering Flames project, and you’ll get different color palettes and equipments for the Hi-Tech Hiker outfit. To win the rewards, you’ll have to gain Merit and proceed on the quest track. You’ll unlock all the available items once you manage to hit the different milestones.
Ryder	A brand new white and red color palette for the Ryder outfit is available for free. This one is rather interesting, as you’ll first have to download and install The Finals. This is a separate game that’s made by Embark Studios. You’ll then have to complete three matches across any chosen mode of your choice. The color palette will then unlock and become available inside ARC Raiders for you to use. Make sure to use the same account on both games.
Bonecrown	This outfit is part of its own unique set, but unfortunately, you can’t have it for free. The Bonecrown cosmetic set is only available via microtransactions.

That’s pretty much all the major outfits and new color palettes that are available right now as part of the Cold Snap update. All three outfits, barring Bonecrown, can be added to your inventory for free of cost. Once you unlock them, go to the Raiders tab to customize the looks by equipping the one you want to play in.

The Locked Gate arrived in ARC Raiders as part of The North Line update, and completing it will require a fair amount of coordination. You can run across it randomly during the Cold Snap update, but the conditions remain the same.

Like all map conditions, the Locked Gate isn’t available at all times. You’ll have to be lucky to find it on a map rotation. This guide will help you to complete the event successfully if you manage to start a raid while it’s available.

ARC Raiders Locked Gate event walkthrough

The Locked Gate event takes place on the Blue Gate map, but adds a custom modifier. The modifier restricts you from using any Raider Hatches and also blocks entry to the underground tunnels. All of this is part of an emergency shutdown protocol. Your job will be to find relevant security codes to open a locked gate (hence, the name).

To begin the quest, head to the Gate Control Room inside the Warehouse Complex. I have marked its location on the screenshot below, but it’s hard to miss. The Warehouse Complex is located between the central and the northern part of the Blue Gate map.

Head inside the room, and you’ll find four systems. When you try to interact with them, you’ll be asked for security codes. Finding the security codes is easy, as they will have a POI in their respective names.

If you’re trying to find the Pilgrim’s Peak code, you’ll have to head over to the location. All four POIs will be present on the Blue Gate map, but finding them can take a fair amount of time (not to mention the added dangers of ARC enemies and enemy Raiders).

Checkpoint Gate location

Once you have found all four codes, head back to the Gate Control Room. Use the four codes to unlock the central gate in the Checkpoint POI (marked on the screenshot above). You’ll find an unlocked gate, along with plenty of valuable items to loot inside. However, be highly cautious as enemy Raiders could try to ambush you for a free lot.
