Raider Tokens and the Reward Pass
Raider Tokens are the premium currency bought with real money. The Free track of the Frozen Trail Pass gives 200 Tokens across its levels. The Premium track costs 1,150 Tokens and returns up to 1,150 Tokens as you level, so it can pay for itself. Both tracks together give 1,350 Tokens. Later passes may cost differently; that is not announced.
Which should you buy?
- Want to try it: check for free-play weekends. One ran October 8 to 12, 2026.
- Want to play: the Standard Edition is enough.
- Like cosmetics: Deluxe and the Collector Set add outfits and Tokens, not stronger gear.
Is it worth it now?
Steam shows Very Positive overall reviews (81%), but Mixed recent reviews (61%) over the last 30 days, with cheating and content gaps cited in press. Frozen Trail and the new anti-cheat rules aim to fix that. Read the update guide before you decide.
