ARC Raiders Frozen Trials: Season 6 Dates & Rewards

Understand Season 6 Frozen Trials dates, Maestro Outfit placement rewards and new challenge types, separately from the limited PvE test and Reward Pass.

Last checked

Quick answer

Frozen Trials Season 6 runs October 8, 2026 to January 12, 2027. Weekly objectives and season placement are separate from the Frozen Trail Reward Pass. Embark names the Maestro Outfit and additional placement cosmetics, but does not supply a universal point threshold or exact reward-delivery hour in this announcement. The October 20 PvE-test end is not this season's end.

Use the correct end date

There are three different clocks: the expansion release, the temporary PvE test and the Trials season. Embark's season notice names January12,2027 without an exact ending hour. Do not substitute the test's11:00 CEST clock or infer a worldwide unlock instant from the date. Keep a record of the current in-game season details when planning a final session.

Which rewards are actually announced?

The named season grand prize is the Maestro Outfit. Hotshot and Cantina Legend relate to Yellow and Red outfit colors; final season placement also offers the Sheriff Badge charm, Infrared Transmitter backpack attachment, Pumped Dance emote and Pop Helmet Scrappy outfit. The announcement is not a complete rank-to-points or delivery-time table, so this guide does not invent one.

Prepare for the objective instead of following a generic farming route

The new challenges involve Skulker and Bully technology, damage with Skulker Targeter or Bully Fragmenter, Pendola Pass locations and the new arsenal. Read the current weekly objective before choosing equipment or a map. An announced challenge type does not establish this week's exact objective, a hidden multiplier or a guaranteed score per run.

  1. Check the current weekly Trials objective and required map or item in your client.
  2. Separate a damage objective from a location or scavenging objective before preparing the kit.
  3. Check whether the selected map condition permits the PvE test; excluded conditions require a different plan.
  4. Review the actual result after the run, not an assumed score from an old video.

PvE eligibility and reward progression are separate checks

The beta excludes Frigate, Redirection and three other major conditions, while normal PvPvE matchmaking remains in use for standard sessions. The official materials reviewed here do not confirm that every Trials objective is completable in PvE or that one queue has a universal scoring advantage. A community farming anecdote cannot replace the objective's actual conditions.

When the result disagrees with your expectation

First confirm you are viewing Trials rather than the Reward Pass end screen. Then capture the exact objective, mode, platform and result for a support report. The 2.1.0 Reward Pass corrections are not automatically proof that a separate Trials scoring symptom was fixed. Avoid repeated expensive runs just to force a guessed reward threshold.
