Arc Raiders overhauls Expeditions: Skill Points now earned by damage, not stash hoards
Embark Studios is changing Arc Raiders Expeditions so Skill Points are earned by dealing damage during the five‑day window (April 28–May 4) rather than by stash value. To earn points, players must deal damage with any weapon or gadget to any target (not the practice range); five points are available per expedition. A catch‑up option still uses stash value (300,000 coins/stash per point) for missed points. Players must complete their Caravan, sign up during the window, and depart when it opens. The change aims to reduce grinding and encourage loot usage across the 5‑day window.
