Arc Raiders Gets a Major Loot Refresh: Premium Currency & Rare Blueprints Up For Grabs!
Salam, gamers of PakGamersHub! If you’ve been keeping an eye on Embark Studios and their sci-fi extraction shooter, Arc Raiders, you know they’re always tweaking things. And guess what? They’ve rolled out another significant change for their expedition wipe rewards, and this one sounds pretty sweet!
It seems Embark is still figuring out the perfect balance for their seasonal expedition wipes, but their latest move for the fourth expedition is a big win for players. Instead of just getting permanent extra skill points (which, let’s be honest, were okay but not super exciting), players will now be earning a mix of valuable premium currency and blueprints that carry over!
Why the change? Well, it turns out gamers are much more hyped about blueprints – those precious schematics for crafting cool gear – than a small boost in skill points. Embark listened, and now, for every completed departure objective in the new format, you’re guaranteed to snag 150 Raider Tokens and one valuable blueprint that sticks with you even after a wipe.
There are five departure objectives in total, so if you grind through them all, you could be looking at a hefty 750 Raider Tokens. To put that into perspective, that’s roughly $7 (approx. Rs 1,950) USD worth of premium currency, which is about half the price of a standard store bundle in Arc Raiders. Imagine getting that much premium currency just for playing the game!
And those blueprints? They’re not just any old scraps. We’re talking about some seriously desirable items like Heavy Gun Parts, Complex Gun Parts, specific weapon blueprints such as Venator, Rascal, Osprey, Trailblazer, and even crucial combat and tactical augment blueprints like Mk 3 Flanking and Mk 3 Defensive. These are the kind of items that can give you a real edge in your next run!
But wait, there’s more! Experienced Arc Raiders players might already know you can purchase up to five expedition vault slots from Ermal, which can preserve anything you store in them through a wipe. Combine those vault slots with the new challenge rewards, and you could potentially start your next wipe with a whopping 10 blueprints – talk about a head start!
Now, we know some of you might be thinking, “What if I haven’t done the previous expeditions?” This is where it gets a bit tricky. The expeditions have to be completed in order and only once per season, which can be frustrating for newer players or those who jump in late. Embark Studios acknowledges this issue wholeheartedly. They understand the feeling of being left behind and are actively working on bigger changes for the future.
They’ve stated they need to find the right balance: rewarding veteran players while also giving newcomers fair and fun ways to catch up. So, expect more updates on this front as they continue to refine the system. It’s good to see them committed to making the game enjoyable for everyone!
If you’re ready to jump in and grab these new rewards, the window for the fourth expedition is open from July 7th (1 PM CEST/11 AM UTC/4 AM PT) until July 21st (10 AM CEST/8 AM UTC/1 AM PT). Don’t miss out on these free goodies, Arc Raiders!
