ARC Raiders‘ Cold Snap update is here, bringing the winter along with it. The topside world has now fully embraced the festive spirit—that is, if we can count ARCs shooting people down at every corner festive.
Anyhow, a lot came with Cold Snap, but one aspect that was promised in the roadmap together with this massive update is the second Raider Deck—i.e., battle pass—which is yet to arrive. So, here’s everything we know about it.
ARC Raiders Raider Deck 2 — Everything we know
ARC Raiders‘ second Raider Deck or battle pass will come out on Dec. 26, or a day after this article had been published. It’s called The Goalie, and is themed after hockey, which tracks with the Cold Snap update being winter-themed.
Of course, much like the previous Raider Deck, this new one will be entirely free of charge and available to all players, forever with no expiration date. The first Raider Deck will also remain active for anyone who wants to complete it, but there are no restrictions on starting from the second if you’re new to the game or haven’t yet cleared all the rewards from the first one.
The Raider Deck 2 will, like its predecessor, feature various rewards that are unlocked with Cred, a special in-game currency that is earned simply by playing the game or completing quests. No purchases or real money are needed for the Deck. What’s more, it’ll probably give you some free premium currency which you can hoard and collect from each of the decks, eventually purchasing actual cosmetics at no real cost.
Anyhow, it’s just around the corner, and will be the cherry on top of the already amazing Cold Snap update.

The last week of December in Escape from Tarkov has become an active time for players to grind, as they can use various recipes at a Christmas Tree to get different items.
This Christmas Tree can be found inside your own hideout. There are six Christmas Trees spread across different maps. You’ll find Christmas Ornaments from these trees that you can bring back in your inventory. Using them at your hideout will allow you to get different rewards, and this guide will provide you with all available recipes.

For starters, you’ll have to find the Christmas Trees to get the Ornaments. You’ll also need to find plenty if you’re looking to maximize this event. There are some exciting recipes to try out. Tangerine is one such option that is required for more advanced recipes. You can also find Tangerine from Christmas Trees, but the odds appear to be low.
If you’re approaching the endgame stage and close to level 35, crafting the LedX will be immensely helpful. Stimulants are also a great choice, and there are different ones available based on your needs. You can craft them for your own requirements, or store them to sell later at a profit. Ultimately, the choice depends on your needs and how many resources you can manage to find.
