CoD Black Ops 6: Which Weapons Are Best To Use On Babylon Map?

A new Expedition has begun, and this time the final reward will include an extra 5 skill points, meaning players will receive 81 skill points and 12 inventory slots. While the rewards aren’t particularly generous, they still attract many players to participate in the event.

For players who have already accumulated a large amount of equipment and resources, giving up all their previously acquired skills, equipment, and blueprints is not a big deal. After Expedition reset, they can re-experience the game, challenge themselves, and improve their gaming skills.

For new ARC Raiders players, the game will be easier and more enjoyable after numerous high-level players reset their progress.

However, this Expedition is quite difficult to complete, requiring an investment of 5 million coins. Many players are concerned about how to quickly obtain rewards and resources in Expedition, and this article will answer these questions.

Important Matters

In Buried City, your main task is not only to farm a lot of money, but also to continuously pay attention to Lush Blooms event. This event drops many natural Expedition Guide, such as fruits, herbs, and seeds.

If you want to synthesize equipment as early as possible, you must collect as many of these natural items as possible. They can help you level up at Scrappy’s, which will provide you with more materials - the raw materials you need to upgrade your equipment later.

After collecting enough materials, you can craft equipment. Looting Mk. 2 is definitely a priority target after the reset.

It only requires a level two equipment workbench to craft, and the materials are five Hornet drivers, three power cables, and five electrical components. It has 22 item slots, three accessory slots, and two Safe Pockets, making it ideal for collecting items and recouping funds. This will make farming money much easier in the later stages.

In addition, in the early stages of equipment upgrades, I recommend upgrading your workbenches. Because after upgrading Refiner, Gunsmith, and Gear Bench to level three, crafting and upgrading equipment, making things according to blueprints, and even crafting minor items like carabiners will be much easier.

Once your infrastructure is upgraded, you can more confidently search for coins.

Money Farming Route

Obtaining enough coins is essential throughout the entire Expedition. Arc Raiders Coins not only help you complete activities but also expand your inventory and allow you to purchase useful materials. Below, I’ll outline the fastest and easiest route to quickly collect more coins, blueprints, and other important items.

First, head to the small house to the right and slightly in front of Grandioso Apartment. You can jump in through the window and then check each floor for supplies.

After searching the third floor, you can jump from the third floor to the roof of the house directly in front of you, the one running north-south, which is the roof to the left of Santa Maria Houses. Of course, if you have exceptional jumping ability, you can try jumping directly into this house.

Entering through the right window of this house will begin your money-making journey.

Unlike earning coins by completing tasks on the map, this money-making route involves obtaining ARC Powercells from Arc Enemies. One of these materials and two batteries can generate energy ammo worth up to 5,000 coins. Even if you don’t generate ammo, ARC Powercells will significantly enhance your gameplay experience while running around the map.

As you collect coins, remember not to overlook the metal parts scattered on the ground, as these are one of the most important basic materials. We must rebuild our wealth, so every part must be cherished.

Once you’ve completed these steps, I believe your financial situation will gradually improve, and your inventory space will increase. You can focus on Cold Snap. This is a limited-time event where your chances of obtaining high-level loot increase. So, if you have sufficient funds and equipment, you can definitely try this event.

Some players believe that Cold Snap is very effective for farming blueprints, especially in Blue Gate map, where the chance of getting blueprints is very high, even after the developers nerfed the blueprint drop rate. Therefore, if you want to quickly regain your blueprints, Cold Snap is definitely the event you should participate in.

Weapons

At the beginning of Expedition, because everything is reset, everyone will focus on completing tasks, and those who haven’t been reset mostly won’t bother attacking those who have just been reset, as they won’t get much loot. Therefore, the recommended weapon here is the Pharaoh. It’s inexpensive to craft, requiring only 5 metal parts and 2 rubber parts. Upgrading it is also very simple, basically only requiring metal and mechanical parts, so even if you’ve just reset your progress, collecting these materials won’t be too difficult.

This easily obtainable weapon not only performs remarkably well in PvE battles, allowing you to take on Arc Enemies, but it can also be combined with another easily obtainable weapon, Stitcher, for PvP combat. I frequently used these two weapons in the early stages of the game, so I’m very familiar with their power and highly recommend them.

The above covers some important aspects of Expedition, including money-farming routes and essential weapons. Hopefully, this will help you progress smoothly in the game instead of constantly feeling lost.

The highly anticipated first major season event for ARC Raiders has officially begun, bringing great news to players, especially those returning after a long absence. Returning players will find more rewards and challenges to help them quickly adapt to the current version and seamlessly integrate into the intense combat environment.

Meanwhile, this major season also introduces brand-new items, multi-tiered challenge objectives, and two new event types, significantly enhancing the depth and sense of accomplishment in the game. Furthermore, ARC Raiders has added a new event, Flickering Flames, allowing players to invest their accumulated resources and earn generous rewards and items.

Each phase of Flickering Flames provides instant rewards for donated resources, including ARC Raiders Items, event experience points, and Raider Tokens that can be used for upcoming deck updates.

Of course, the difficulty of this Flickering Flames event has also increased, with the addition of a new natural item, Candleberries. Your task is to collect as many Candleberries as possible to help the underground community survive the harsh Rust Belt winter.

Phase 1

The first set of item requirements for Flickering Flames event is the simplest. The first three items are very common and easy to obtain; you can easily find them in your inventory or craft them from existing materials. The entire process won’t be too complicated.

Before you begin, since the main gameplay of this event involves collecting and donating enough materials to receive rewards, you must first ensure you have enough inventory space. If your inventory capacity is insufficient, you can use ARC Raiders Coins to expand it.

The last item, and the only one you need to collect, is Candleberries, which are more difficult to obtain than the first three. Currently, there are two main ways to obtain them: one is to automatically receive 180 of this material after earning 11,400 merits in Gathering Candleberries event.

The other is to go to the surface in Cold Snap map and collect them. However, if you want to successfully complete your gathering trip, you must be careful of the new Frostbite effect, which will severely affect your gathering speed. 

Item Requirements & Location

• Empty Wine Bottle x1 In Residential, Commercial
• Plastic Parts x25 In Recycling
• Durable Cloth x5 In Medical, Commercial, Crafting
• Candleberries x20 In Event, Nature

Rewards

• 5 Firecrackers
• 1,000 Merits
• 1,000 Merits
• 50 Raider Tokens

Note that Candleberries will randomly spawn at dense forest natural gathering points such as Grove in Buried City, or appear in picnic baskets during Lush Blooms event.

Phase 2

The items in the second phase will be more difficult to obtain. In addition to the increased number of Candleberries, you will also need to find Candleholders in residential areas. Although this is a new item, the threat in residential areas is not very high, and they are not too difficult to find.

Industrial Batteries can be found on beginner maps such as Dam Battlegrounds. They have multiple spawn points, so you are very likely to find the materials you need in these areas with a very high spawn rate.

During the search for Candleholders, Red Light Stick Blueprint will randomly drop. Although the drop of this Blueprint at this stage is not very exciting, the high probability of dropping adds a sense of accomplishment to the player during the game.

Item Requirements & Location

• Candleholder x3 In Residential
• Light Bulb x3 In Electrical
• Industrial Battery x1 In Industrial
• Candleberries x50 In Event, Nature

Rewards

• Red Light Stick Blueprint
• 1,000 Merits
• 1,000 Merits
• 50 Raider Tokens

Phase 3

As the search area expands, the scarcity of items increases. The most difficult item in the third phase is Film Reels. They are difficult to find in Residential or Old World areas. My most recommended locations are the locked Town Hall in Buried City or Archives of Stella Montis.

The other two items, Duct Tape and Snap Blast Grenades, are relatively easier to obtain. If you really can’t find them, you can get them from Traders in Speranza, but be aware that Celeste only accepts seeds as exchange items. 

Item Requirements & Location

• Snap Blast Grenade x5 In Scavenging, Crafting, Trader
• Duct Tape x10 In Commercial, Residential, Trader
• Film Reel x1 In Residential, Old World
• Candleberries x60 In Event, Nature

Rewards

• 3 Trailblazer Grenades
• 1,000 Merits
• 1,000 Merits
• 50 Raider Tokens

Phase 4

As the event progresses past the halfway point, the items you need to collect become increasingly difficult to obtain. Coffee Pots are common in residential areas, and you may have already found one or two during your previous searches. If not, you can try your luck in the houses southeast of Buried City. Water Filters frequently spawn in Dam Battlegrounds and Blue Gate; you can check those locations.

In this phase, you can’t just stop at collecting items; you need to actively attack and loot at least 10 Fireballs to obtain Burners. The task will be easier if you loot Fireballs while collecting the other items on the list.

Item Requirements & Location

• Coffee Pot x2 In Residential
• Fireball Burner x10 In Fireball ARC
• Water Filter x2 In Industrial
• Candleberries x60 In Event, Nature

Rewards

• 1 Vita Spray
• 1,000 Merits
• 1,000 Merits
• 50 Raider Tokens

Phase 5

In the fifth phase of Flickering Flames, the most troublesome item to collect is Mushrooms, and you need to collect 7. You can go to maps like Dam Battlegrounds or the northern oasis of Spaceport to slowly search for them. They can spawn in any corner except the northeast corner of the map.

However, because of the limited number of spawn points for this item, if you find the search too slow, my best advice is to wait for Lush Blooms event, check more natural areas, or find baskets that provide more Mushrooms, which will allow you to collect many at once.

After finding Mushrooms, besides the consistently difficult Candleberries, the most challenging item remaining is Music Albums. Many high-rarity residential scavenging areas may contain them, just like when you were looking for Film Reels. But be sure to go early, otherwise, they might be looted by others.

After collecting Music Albums, you will have completed the entire Flickering Flames event. Music Albums can help you celebrate the completion of the event. 

Item Requirements & Location

• Mushrooms x7 In Nature
• Frying Pans x2 In Residential
• Music Albums x2 In Residential, Commercial
• Candleberries x70 In Event, Nature

Rewards

• 1 Snap Hook
• 1,000 Merits
• 1,000 Merits
• 50 Raider Tokens

The above details the items and rewards required for the five stages of Flickering Flames, and how you can find them faster. Upon completing all activities, you will receive the first-ever Raider Tool skin in ARC Raiders, which has high collectible value and symbolic significance.

Although completing the entire Flickering Flames quest doesn’t directly yield additional rewards or immediate tangible benefits, its strategic importance in the overall game progression cannot be underestimated. Players will gain a significant advantage in new real-time events.

With the launch of the new Expedition, ARC Raiders has continuously introduced new missions and rewards, giving players opportunities to acquire resources and keep them engaged.

As a shooting extraction game, previous missions typically involved combat or scavenging for supplies. However, ARC Raiders recently introduced a new mission that adds a fresh element to the game: Music Puzzle.

Music Puzzle requires players to press 15 red buttons in the correct order in Buried City to unlock the final reward. While it may seem relatively easy, it's actually one of the most challenging missions in the game's history. If you get the order wrong, you have to start over, so it's best to complete it with a teammate.

Below, I will guide you through the complete button sequence and tips for completing the mission. You'll need to be patient.

Button Sequence

1. Plaza Rosa Attic

The first button is hidden on the top floor of the leftmost building in Plaza Rosa. You need to go to the second floor and find the room with the green kitchen. Next to the kitchen, follow the wall and you'll find the red button, hidden next to the armchair with the floral pattern.

Note that pressing this button officially starts the game; any mistakes will force you to start over.

2. Galleria

Go to the south side of Galleria roof. You'll find a yellow rope leading to another building. Slide down the rope and turn left, following the narrow corridor wall. You'll see it on the wall between several metal shelves.

3. Warehouse Rooftop

Use the ladder on the west side of the warehouse to climb onto the roof. Then go near the broken window. The button is hidden between two ventilation units against the wall. Its location is quite concealed; you need to look carefully, or you might easily miss it.

4. Marano Park Shop

This button's location is probably the most dangerous, as it's next to a powerful ARC spawn point. Bring some equipment just in case.

You can find a standalone gray shop in the center of the park; it's a newsstand. Go inside and search carefully; the button is inside, on your right, it's easy to find.

However, escaping after pressing the button here might be difficult. You can quickly cross the woods and hide in Research area to avoid some damage.

5. Grandioso Apartments

Enter Grandioso Apartments on the south side, go up the stairs to the highest indoor floor (not the top floor), break the glass on the balcony to go to the back room. You can find the hidden button on the floor behind the blue and orange sofa.

6. Piazza Arbusto Tower

This button is on the blue tower above the pharmacy. Go up the stone platform surrounding the tower, being careful of your footing. You can probably find it near the outer wall on the second floor.

7. Bus Next To Library

On the northwest side of the library, on the road leading to Durante Warehouses, you'll find the bus that spawns weapon crates. The button is hidden inside, sandwiched between two chairs. If you're lucky, you might also find some good resources in the weapon crate.

8. Corso Da Vinci

On Corso da Vinci, find Town Hall. Enter the building to the left of Town Hall, go to the top floor, and enter the leftmost bedroom. You'll find the button next to the bed.

9. Buried Properties

South of Raider Depot in Buried Properties, you'll find a completely dilapidated building with a tattered yellow flag hanging on it. Inside, search carefully; you'll find the button among several shelves and a broken-down tram.

10. Hospital Stairwell

Enter the hospital and go down the main stairwell to the bottom near the hospital's subway entrance. The button is hidden under the stairs, concealed behind a pile of yellow warning signs.

11. Collapsed Bridge

On Abandoned Highway, find the collapsed section of the bridge leaning against a building. Use the yellow rope to reach the higher section of the bridge, then go under the bridge structure. You'll find the button among the rubble.

12. Church Ruins

Find a half-buried house on Church Ruins. The button is near the chimney on the roof, surrounded by trees.

13. Santa Maria Attic

Go to the leftmost house in Santa Maria residential area. Climb onto the roof, open the skylight, and enter the attic. The button is hidden among a pile of discarded furniture.

Note: If you see a Security Breach Container in the attic, you've gone to the wrong place. You've found the attic of Santa Maria compound. In this case, you need to leave and walk left along the roof.

14. Piazza Roma Tower

Near the east side of the warehouse in Piazza Roma, you can find a small tower. Carefully search the inside of the tower; the button is hidden in a corner of an inner wall.

To make sure you've found the right place, you'll see a thick tree and a black streetlamp.

15. Red Tower

After successfully pressing the previous 14 buttons, you need to reach the final location. You need to find the building with green shutters located north of Red Tower. The entrance is on the north side of the building, with a partially recessed window on the first floor. You can enter from there.

The buttons are inside the building; you can find them by going up the stairs on the first floor.

This is also the location of the secret door. When you press the last button, fireworks will trigger, celebrating your successful completion of the mission. The door will open, revealing a room full of loot.

Music Puzzle Rewards

After the door opens, enter the loot room. You will find:

• Acoustic Guitars (playable instruments)
• Shakers
• Recorders
• Candle Holders

Since this mission is music-related, you'll find that most of the rewards are musical instruments. You can search this room for anything you can pick up, as long as it helps you.

Mission Tips

In this mission, simply knowing the button locations is not enough to complete the mission. The 15 buttons on the map are widely distributed, sometimes quite far apart, making the puzzle-solving process lengthy and with a low margin for error.

Be aware that anyone can press this button, even other players passing by. Pressing the wrong button will reset the puzzle. Therefore, you need to be fully prepared.

• It's best to team up with friends to complete the task. You can wait at the button location beforehand;
• Voice communication between friends is recommended to confirm the location and button activation in real time;
• Bring enough ziplines to help you quickly traverse buildings and reduce time;
• Also, bring enough Adrenaline Shots to ensure uninterrupted movement across the map;
• Finally, plan ahead and assign button positions to everyone. Once a button is successfully pressed, immediately move to the next location.

These are the key details for this task. If you're interested, quickly call your teammates to solve the puzzle! By the way, the musical instrument reward you get in the task can be played. You can form a band with your friends in the game and play - a fun Easter egg in ARC Raiders.

Successfully completing Music Puzzle requires not only good teamwork but also sufficient resources. If you haven't acquired enough gear in previous games, you can buy suitable ARC Raiders items at EZG. To celebrate Christmas, EZG has prepared XMAS codes for players, which can be used to enjoy a 10% discount.

To enrich Christmas atmosphere in the game and ensure existing players have a better experience with the new Season of Divine Intervention, Diablo 4 is bringing back the highly acclaimed Goblin Event, which will offer generous rewards and festive cheer.

The event, named Goblin’s Greedings Event, officially launched on December 18th and is scheduled to end on January 6th, 2026. This means you have over two weeks to collect tons of rewards by killing goblins in the game, such as free cosmetics, specific items, and bonus loot.

It must be said that simply charging headlong into battle is not a viable way to win all the rewards, you’ll also need the help of the latest and most comprehensive Goblin’s Greedings Event guide provided here, which will always make your work more efficient!

Event Detailed

During this event, regardless of whether your account is in Season 11 or Eternal realms, you can find Treasure Goblins in various locations within Sanctuary. Defeating them will earn you reputation points for March of the Goblins reputation board in Kyovashad. Each reputation level provides different gilded rewards.

During the active period of this event, regardless of whether your account is in Seasonal 11 or Eternal realms, you can find some Treasure Goblins in various locations within Sanctuary. These defeated enemies will become the reputation points needed for March of the Goblins reputation board in Kyovashad.

Each reputation level offers different rewards and increases the quantity and quality of loot dropped by Goblins upon death. It’s worth noting that the last one can be challenged multiple times, and completing it on the first attempt will reward you with a Resplendent Spark and Runes, some crucial tools for creating high-value Diablo 4 items this season!

Rewards

Once you’ve accumulated a certain amount of reputation points, you can go to the unique reputation board for this Goblin’s Greedings Event to claim corresponding rewards, including items, Temper Manuals, and consumables such as Gold, Obols, and crafting materials.

Furthermore, to celebrate Christmas during this event, Diablo 4 offered all players three different Christmas outfits, which were unlocked gradually over the first three days of the event.

• December 18: Crook of First Snow (Mount Trophy)
• December 19: Fallow-ward (Mount Trophy)
• December 20: Tackle of the First Snows (Mount Armor)

Even if you missed out on claiming them before then, you can still use gold in vendors to acquire them. But please note that all these rewards must be claimed by January 6th of next year, otherwise they will be permanently invalidated and disappear into some unknown Treasure Goblin origin or Tejal’s wares.

Bonus Gifts From Tree Of Whispers

Unlike previous Goblin Events, the loot rewards offered by Tree of Whispers during Diablo 4 S11 Goblin’s Greedings Event have been changed: an additional chest has been added, and the quality and quantity of its contents have been improved.

After you deliver Grim Favors earned from completing Nightmare Dungeons, The Pit, or other world events, the Tree of Whispers will reward you with a regular Cache, and an additional Collection of Chaos, which contains a variety of holiday rewards.

Farming Strategies

Given that Resplendent Spark, bonus Tree caches, and free cosmetics rewards from this Goblin Event are essential for your exploration in the current season of Diablo 4, here are some farming strategies to help you maximize their potential.

Goblin

To farm Goblin, you need to explore as many Nightmare dungeons as possible with Treasure Breach affix. This will guarantee the monster’s spawn and increase its appearance rate and quality, which is absolutely no problem for an excellent build with exceptional AoE damage.

You’re unlikely to find and pick up Nightmare Sigils with this affix by luck alone, so you’ll need to go to Occultist and use Sigil Powder obtained from Whisper Caches or by salvaging unwanted Sigils to craft this specific key. In this scenario, killing thousands of Goblins in a single run is entirely possible. Most notably, Mythic Prankster goblin may also appear in it.

Grim Favors

The best way to cultivate Grim Favors is to complete Whispers of the Dead objectives, especially those marked with a dark red icon, which directly provide you with 5 Favors. Here are a few recommendations: Patrol, Motes, Scour, Critter Escort, and Wisp Escort. Completing two of these will allow you to claim a treasure chest reward.

In addition, defeating World Bosses or participating in Legion Events will also provide you with some Grim Favors, but the risks involved are much higher than completing the quests directly, so it is not recommended that you consider them as a major source. Just pay attention to them before specific boss encounters.

In summary, Goblin’s Greedings Event is arguably Diablo 4’s most generous offering to players this year, despite the recent controversy surrounding the pre-order bonuses for the second DLC. We hope you can kill the most monsters and claim the richest loot during this event. Have fun playing!

As the year draws to a close, ArcheAge WAR, after a year of maintenance and patching, is once again undergoing server maintenance, which has certainly surprised all players. This maintenance will begin on December 19, 2025 at 04:00, and the end time and any compensation rewards are uncertain.

Although this sequel isn’t as famous as AA2 in the series, it still has a very strong player base, and shutting down the servers during such a major holiday is truly inappropriate. However, the series’ developers seem to have become accustomed to this: ignoring player feedback and making numerous unauthorized adjustments.

However, this is not a criticism session for the development team. Instead, it’s a summary of 2025 ArcheAge War Class Tier List based on game content changes this year, and a speculation on whether the developers will buff or debuff it in 2026, so that you can adjust your exploration strategies and skills in time after this server maintenance.

Classes Overview

Unlike most MMORPGs, ArcheAge WAR doesn’t have clearly defined classes; instead, it uses seven skill combinations for arrangement. According to player testing in the community, the game contains over 250 class variations with different combat styles, some of which are strong and some are weak.

Of course, to maintain game balance, the developers will debuff certain powerful classes at specific points and provide buffs to weaker classes. But overall, there will always be some classes that are invincible. Next, EZG.com will list the best classes in 2025, categorized by S & A Tier.

S Tier

These S tier classes listed here all possess exceptional clearing and combat abilities, making them well worth trying. However, it must be noted that these characters can be somewhat difficult to control, with a very low margin for error, and you are likely to experience multiple deaths.

Ollo

The first one I want to introduce to you is Ollo, which is very much like a warrior who can sweep away everything without resistance. Its super speed, agility, and damage capabilities can help you easily destroy your opponents and efficiently farm ArcheAge WAR Gold. 

Moreover, Ollo’s extremely high defense capabilities are also very strong, making it perfectly capable of resisting some medium-level external intrusions. Of course, what attracts players isn’t just the simple balance of offense and defense, but also the diverse gameplay.

With Ancestral Skill and Flying Dagger, Ollo can use skills from other classes, a versatile gameplay rarely seen in ArcheAge War. Whether you’re fighting ranged or melee, it offers extremely high flexibility, ensuring you’re never disappointed.

Gene Evernight

Next up in S tier is Gene Evernight, a well-rounded character who wields a one-handed sword, easily defeating most enemies. Furthermore, with Ancestral Skill Pull, he can easily stun and pull enemies closer for more devastating damage.

This skill not only demonstrates unprecedented killing power when exploring alone, but also allows for quick and smooth disruption of enemy formations in teamwork, making it easier for your teammates to launch the most brutal attacks.

Despite its high versatility, the developers seem to have never considered weakening it since the release of ArcheAge WAR. Therefore, Gene will remain a very playable class option after the server maintenance next year and is worth trying.

A Tier

Compared to classes in S tier, those in A tier are easier to operate and acquire, but their damage and defensive capabilities are also reduced. Therefore, A tier classes are generally more suitable for use when farming experience, gold, and other loot rewards, rather than in high-difficulty encounters.

Melisara

Of all melee weapons, the dagger is arguably the most effective, capable of inflicting damage on any enemy within its swing range. And for the class that can wield this best weapon, Melisara is undoubtedly the best choice. It combines agility, stamina, and survivability, making it adept at handling various situations. 

In addition to the melee physical damage dealt by regular daggers, Melisara possesses a Mana Stacking skill that allows her to continuously accumulate health during combat, achieving extremely high tankiness. 

With the right strategy and skill combination, she is virtually unstoppable. Combined with its exceptional durability, it becomes a character with extremely high accuracy and skill attack bonuses, making it unmatched in its class.

Tahyang

If you prefer to deal all your damage from a distance, then Tahyang will definitely suit your needs perfectly. With Impaling Strike Ancestral Skill, this class allows you to deal extra damage to enemies without taking any threat yourself, ensuring the best gaming experience.

However, it’s worth noting that Tahyang’s damage mitigation ability isn’t very strong, which has been a source of numerous complaints from players. This shortcoming significantly affects the gameplay balance in ArcheAge WAR, so the developers are likely to address it with some improvements next year.

At that time, Tahyang’s playability will be greatly enhanced, possibly even surpassing all ranged damage classes. Coupled with its decent melee capabilities in the early stages, its potential for farming monsters and gaining experience points to level up is enormous, making it well worth a try.

Of course, opinions vary. Remember this principle: the best game class or variation is the one that best suits your playstyle, because the purpose of a game is to please you. This concludes ArcheAge WAR’s best class tier list compiled at the end of 2025. Hopefully, the server downtime will be short, allowing every player to quickly access and enjoy the exploration.

Arc Raiders recently announced its second major update, Cold Snap, to be released on December 16th. This update includes a snowy map to match the current winter weather, as well as other new content. Furthermore, the first expedition that allows you to reset your character is also about to begin.

Please note that some features in this update are only available for a limited time. Therefore, to gain an early advantage, you’ll need this ARC Raiders Cold Snap Update guide provided by EZG.com, which offers detailed information about the content.

Goalie Raider Deck

The first one to introduce is Goalie Raider Deck. Although this deck won’t be officially available until December 26th, it’s free-for-all players, meaning you can get all the rewards without spending any real money. For players new to the game, Arc Raiders’ decks are like battle passes in other ARPGs, a reward track based on a specific currency called Credits. 

So, to obtain all the cosmetics, game coins, and item rewards in a new deck, you’ll need to spend some time earning Credits through the daily achievements system to unlock them. In this Goalie Raider Deck update, the developers have prepared a brand new hockey-themed outfit and other accessories for players, which perfectly matches the overall winter theme of the update.

Most importantly, the rewards contained in each Raider Deck are permanent and will not disappear with the change of game content. It is currently uncertain whether this mode will continue in subsequent decks, but for now, it is indeed exciting. After all, being able to unlock the rewards you want at your own pace is very rare in shooting games.

Snowfall Map

In addition to the cosmetic bonuses provided by the deck, the developers have added a Snowfall map to Arc Raiders, which includes very severe snow disaster exploration conditions: your visibility is reduced, but your movement path is clearly visible and you are easily spotted by enemies.

And there’s the frostbite mechanic, which causes your health to slowly decrease when exposed to severe weather for extended periods, forcing you to seek indoor shelter, which means you’ll be in the same area as your enemies in the same indoor shelter, making a gunfight inevitable.

If you want to survive in this harsh environment, you’ll need to tread carefully, carry more Arc Raiders items for healing than ever before, and stay in close contact with your teammates to avoid being ambushed and killed by other teams lurking in the safest parts of the map.

Like Night and Electromagnetic Storm, Snowfall will also appear as a map modifier in Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, Spaceport, and Blue Gate, becoming a major obstacle to your loot collection and enemy elimination. However, its only advantage is that the quality and quantity of rewards it contains will be significantly increased.

Flickering Flames Event

This Cold Snap update brings players a new event called Flickering Flames Event, which includes 25 event rewards. During this event, the experience points you bring back from each raid will earn you Merits, a special currency that can be exchanged for gear customization items and Raider Tokens at specific vendors in Speranza.

Since the entire event revolves around the experience points you earn and the Merits you exchange for, it’s recommended that you go straight for killing large ARC enemies, such as Bastions, Bombardiers, Leapers, or Rocketeers, as they will provide you with a burst of experience points.

Candleberry Banquet Project

This is another interesting event in Arc Raiders Cold Snap update, where you need to search for Candleberries and other unique items during your adventure in the topside to complete the five stages offered by this event, each of which will display a different scene in the Speranza’s banquet table upon completion.

Meanwhile, the stages in Candleberry Banquet Project will also provide you with additional cosmetic items such as Raider Tokens. Most excitingly, you’ll also have the chance to earn Merit, allowing you to claim all the rewards from Flickering Flames Event more quickly.

Expedition

The last and most important one is the first Expedition that allows you to reset your account, which will last from December 17th to 23rd. During this timeframe, players who have completed the Expedition requirements can reset their accounts to obtain a brand new Raider account. 

All previously acquired blueprints, levels, quests, and credits will be lost, but some additional rewards will be available. The detailed reward list is as follows:

Permanent

• Up To 5 Skill Points
• 12 Stash Spaces
• A Special Expedition Icon
• Janitor Cap Cosmetic For Scrappy
• Patchwork Raider Outfit

Temporary

• 6% More Scrappy Materials
• 5% XP Increase
• 10% Cheaper Repairs

It’s important to note that the skill points in the permanent rewards are obtained using credits; one skill point is equivalent to 1 million credits. Therefore, to reach the skill point bonus cap, you need to accumulate a total of 5 million credits. This is no small amount, so start saving credits as soon as you enter the expedition!

If you’re worried about not having enough time, you can simply buy 8% OFF Arc Raiders weapons with "ARC8" code from EZG.com after entering the expedition, saving you the time and effort of farming blueprints, gear, and other crafting materials. Most importantly, cheap doesn’t mean bad quality. The affordable items here won’t affect your game account, so it’s very safe!

These are all the major updates in the Cold Snap update released by Arc Raiders. In this cold winter, we hope this update can bring you a touch of warmth with the most generous rewards. Here is I wish you a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience.wishing you a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience.
