Arc Raiders Second Expedition: March 1 Launch, Catch-Up Mechanic & New Rewards

Arc Raiders newest Expedition is set to launch March 1, 2026, the first new Expedition since the game's launch. The deadline to sign up for this Expedition is February 25, 2026. Expeditions are essentially resets for Raiders. With players’ workshop, player level, skill points, blueprints, coins, quests, and stash upgrade progress all getting reset. Allowing players to start again, with new rewards and buffs to make your next visits more intriguing.

Ahead of the new Expedition launch in March, Embark is making a few changes to help prepare for the event.

First off, following player feedback, Embark was lowered to the required Stash value to receive maximum rewards. The maximum reward is now 3 million coins, 600k per skill point; players who hit the 3 million Stash value mark will get five skill points.

The second change is the introduction of a catch-up mechanic, to help out Raiders who were not able to obtain enough coins during the first Expedition period. Allowing those Raiders to reclaim skill points they missed with catch-up skill points being heavily discounted.

"Amass the entire Stash value and enjoy your skill points before everyone else, fail to do so and the catch-up system will allow you to close the gap over time,"

If you are participating in the Expedition for the first time with the start of one next month, you will be able to also get rewards from the first Expedition. The rewards for the new second Expedition are as follows:

• Evolved Patchwork outfit (permanent)

• Scrappy cosmetics (permanent)

• Expedition Indicator Icon (permanent)

• 24 Stash Spaces (permanent)

• +0-5 skill points (permanent)

• 5-10% XP boost (consecutive)

• 6-12% Scrappy materials boost (consecutive)

• 60-70% repair value increase (consecutive)
