ARC Raiders is an extraction shooter developed and published by the same studio that brought us The Finals, Embark Studios. The game will be available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X.
As an extraction shooter, the concept of progression wipe is solemnly attached to ARC Raiders. Embark had announced a manual progression wipe system called Expedition Project for players before the game's launch.
Now, almost 3 months after the game's release, Embark is gearing up for the release of the second expedition project soon. Here's a look at all the bonuses in the expedition project 2 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 2 Bonuses and How they Work in ARC Raiders
When the expedition 2 departs, all items in your raider’s stash will be contributed toward it. Your next Raider can earn up to five skill points based on the total value of your stash and coins at the time of departure. Six hundred thousand (600K) coins' worth of value equals one extra skill point for your new Raider.
When you restart, everything tied to your progress will be reset. This means your skill tree, level, stash, workshop, crafting abilities, and blueprints. It’s worth noting that the initial onboarding from your first deployment in Speranza will be skipped – that means all maps and potential workshop upgrades will be available as soon as you reset.
Your new Raider won’t totally restart at square one. By resetting, you will unlock the following advantages and rewards:
Permanent Unlocks:
- The Patchwork Raider - Evovled outfit
- Scrappy Cosmetic
- Expeditions Indicator icon
- 12→24 Stash spaces
- 0-5 Skill Points (+ catch up on missed Skill Points from the first Expedition, so 85 total is possible for those embarking on their second Expedition)
Temporary Buffs:
- 5%→10% XP boost
- 6%→12% Scrappy materials boost
- 60%→70% Repair value increase
While skill points, extra stash space, and cosmetics are permanent unlocks, the account buffs will expire if you choose not to depart with the subsequent expedition. On the contrary, buffs will increase in power for your next three expeditions
The Expedition Window will be open from February 25th to March 1st. You must sign up during this period, and everyone automatically departs at the same time on the 1st of March.
