Arc Raiders Expeditions Just Got Way More Fun: Ditch the Scrap Grind, Embrace the Bot-Smashing Mayhem!

Hey, Raiders! For those of you diving deep into the adrenaline-pumping world of Arc Raiders, you know it’s an extraction shooter that brings some serious heat. It’s got a lot going for it, but let’s be real, the previous system for its “Expeditions” wasn’t exactly what you’d call a party. Good news, though! Embark, the folks behind Arc Raiders, heard the community loud and clear and they’re making some exciting changes.

For the uninitiated, Expeditions are Arc Raiders’ version of a seasonal reset. They give players a chance to wipe their progress clean in exchange for some sweet, permanent upgrades like extra stash space or those crucial skill points. But up until now, getting those upgrades felt like a never-ending chore of collecting mountains of scrap and hoarding resources – basically, a grind for monetary value that often left players bored rather than excited.

But guess what? Embark is flipping the script for the upcoming third Expedition, and it’s a change that’s bound to get you hyped! They recently announced that Skill Points will no longer be tied to how much stuff you’ve stashed away. Instead, you’ll earn them by doing what you love most: dealing damage over a five-day window!

Here’s how this game-changing update will work:

• Forget about collecting coins or maximizing your stash value. Now, your mission is to rack up damage to earn all five available skill points.
• Whether it’s your first Expedition or your third, the challenge is simple: deal damage.
• You can use any weapon or gadget against any enemy target (just not in the practice range, sorry!).
• The challenge will be automatically available to all players who have completed their Caravan. No need to sign up or jump through extra hoops.
• You’ll have a full five days, from Tuesday to Sunday, to complete this damage-dealing objective.

Embark openly admitted that “grinding for monetary value isn’t the most exciting experience.” And honestly, we couldn’t agree more! By shifting to damage-based objectives, they’re giving players more freedom and variety. It encourages you to actually use all that cool loot you’ve been too scared to take out of your vault, rather than just hoarding it for an arbitrary goal. It’s about being active, engaging in combat, and having fun, not just passively collecting.

Their goal is clear: they want Expeditions to be fun, not an endless, monotonous grind. These changes are designed to create a more engaging and fair challenge that keeps everyone active and entertained throughout the entire five-day period. For those of us who dreaded the scrap hunt, this sounds like a breath of fresh air!

And for the most dedicated Raiders out there who have already completed the first two Expeditions, finishing this third one will net you the final piece of the coveted Patchwork outfit. So, gear up, get ready to unleash hell on those bots, and earn those skill points the fun way!
