As an extraction shooter, the concept of progression wipe is solely attached to ARC Raiders. Embark had announced a manual progression wipe system called Expedition Project for players before the game's launch.
Now, almost 6 months after the game's release, Embark is gearing up for the release of the fourth expedition project soon. Here's a look at all the bonuses in the expedition project 4 and how they work in ARC Raiders.
What is the Expedition Project in ARC Raiders?
According to Embark, the progression wipe system in Arc Raiders will be known as "The Expedition Project". In the full game, players will have access to a feature called “Projects”. At level 20, the first major project players will have access to is the Expedition Project.
Upon completion, this project makes a character reset available. If a player completes a reset, they will be able to do so again so long as they complete another of these projects. This progression wipe is voluntary and will only affect players who choose to go through with the project.
All Expedition Project 4 Bonuses and How they Work in ARC Raiders
Players embarking on their fourth Expedition will no longer earn Skill Points from the Expedition Challenge. Instead, you'll receive Blueprints and Raider Tokens, delivered after your departure.
The number of rewards you receive is based on damage dealt during the departure window, using the same thresholds as the previous Expedition. Note that unlike Skill Points, these rewards have no catch-up mechanic.
This is the first time Embark is trying the Mystery Reward system and they will be monitoring it closely to see how it performs and analysing player feedback.
To claim all five Bonus Rewards, hit the following damage thresholds before the departure window closes:
- Reward 1: Deal 5 000 total damage
- Reward 2: Deal 10 000 total damage
- Reward 3: Deal 30 000 total damage
- Reward 4: Deal 50 000 total damage
- Reward 5: Deal 100 000 total damage
Each completed departure objective rewards you with one Blueprint. Keep in mind that these Blueprints are temporary and will reset when you depart on your next Expedition. The Damage Challenge rewards are safeguarded against duplicates, meaning you won't receive the same Blueprint twice. However, this protection does not extend to the Blueprints you have carried over in Ermal's Vault.
150 Raider Tokens will be rewarded for completing each departure objective. Unlike Blueprints, they are permanent and will not reset with the next Expedition.
Permanent Bonuses
Cosmetics:
- Now that the Patchwork Outfit is complete, doing the fourth Expedition will unlock the first step of the Zenith Outfit.
Bonuses:
- +12 stash space (48 extra total for 4th Expedition), will be maxed out at 60 with the 5th Expedition.
- The bonus skill points from Expeditions cap at 15.
- Players can still catch up on previously missed skill points, and it’s still tied to stash value.
- Catch-up for skill points becomes available with your second Expedition and once you get all the maximum 15 skill points, the catch-up is no longer available.
The departure window will be open between the 7th of July 1pm CEST/11am UTC/4am PT and the 21st of July 10am CEST/8am UTC/1am PT. You will have 14 days to sign up and complete the requirements, and all players who have signed up will depart automatically.
As with all previous Expeditions, completing your Caravan does not count as signing up for the Expedition, you still have to sign up during the window. The ‘last call’ feature will also be active during this Expedition in case you miss the window.
