Arc Raiders pauses Expeditions for sweeping upgrades through early 2027

Embark Studios has confirmed Arc Raiders’ fifth Expedition, which runs Sept 8–29, will be the last until early 2027 as they pause Expeditions to address player feedback on departure windows, rewards, and accessibility. Changes include making the quest reset opt-in, adjusting Hullcracker Blueprint access, removing the last-call departure window, and keeping progress during the pause. Rewards include the Zenith Outfit and extra stash space, with Caravans reset and Ermal Vouchers replacing them. The current season of Trials ends Sept 22 and resumes Oct 8. Eurogamer’s review of Arc Raiders gave it 2/5 stars.

Arc Raiders Pauses Expeditions for Major Redesign After Community Feedback

Embark Studios is pausing Arc Raiders Expeditions after the fifth run to implement a major redesign, citing feedback about tight departure windows, the reward structure, and accessibility. The pause runs through early 2027, with Expedition 5 being the last before changes return; progress is preserved—buffs from consecutive Expeditions persist, completing all five unlocks the Zenith Outfit, and partially completed Caravans will be replaced with Ermal Vouchers. Details of the new system will be shared in September ahead of the broader return in early 2027.

ARC Raiders Halts Expeditions for Major Overhaul Through 2027

ARC Raiders' fifth Expedition will be the last until early 2027 as Embark Studios overhauls the Expedition system following ongoing community complaints. The upcoming Expedition window (Sept. 8–29) allows players to gather resources and prepare their caravan for a wipe that resets progression in exchange for rewards. Critics have pointed to limited windows, reward structure, and accessibility as major issues, and Embark says bigger changes are coming for Expeditions, with a revamped system expected to return alongside a future major update after Frozen Trail—though a firm return date hasn’t been announced.

ARC Raiders Fourth Expedition overhauls rewards with Blueprints and Tokens

ARC Raiders’ fourth Expedition introduces a new reward system that replaces Skill Points with Blueprints and Raider Tokens, awarding them based on total damage during the departure window; Blueprints are temporary and reset next Expedition while Tokens are permanent, with the first Zenith Outfit step unlocked after completion. The event runs July 7–21, requiring players to sign up in that window, complete the Caravan and a Challenge to claim rewards, and includes stash space bonuses, consecutive buffs, Ermal’s Vault slots, a new Trials Season, and a catch-up option for missed Expeditions.

The 1919 Eclipse That Made Einstein a Global Icon

In 1919, two British expeditions—led by Dyson and including Arthur Eddington—photographed a total solar eclipse from Príncipe and Sobral to test whether the Sun’s gravity bends starlight as predicted by general relativity. The data, though limited and debated, supported Einstein and propelled him to global fame; later, more precise measurements confirmed the effect with greater accuracy.

Arc Raiders Expeditions switch to damage-based rewards as skill-tree overhaul looms

Embark Studios is shifting Arc Raiders Expeditions to reward damage dealt during the 5-day event (April 28–May 4) rather than the stash value, aiming to boost active play and loot use. They’re also evaluating significant skill-tree changes to enable more meaningful, diverse playstyles and better PvP balance after each account wipe.

Arc Raiders overhauls Expeditions: Skill Points now earned by damage, not stash hoards

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.

ARC Raiders Overhauls Expeditions: Earn Skill Points by Damage in a 5‑Day Window

ARC Raiders is changing Expedition rules so all 5 skill points are earned by dealing damage within a 5‑day window, replacing the previous stash‑value method. The window runs April 28–May 4, with a new “last call” signup for caravan completers who missed the window. A damage challenge must be completed to unlock skill points, and catch‑up options exist for players on their second or third expeditions, funded by coins/stash value. Rewards include permanent cosmetics (Patchwork outfit and upgraded Expedition indicator) and extra stash space, plus Trials during the Expedition window to encourage active participation and loot use.

ARC Raiders tees up a colossal Arc and two Expeditions in a spring update

ARC Raiders’ spring roadmap, titled Escalation, adds a new large Arc in April along with a fresh map and two additional Expeditions. Through January–April, updates (Headwinds, Shrouded Sky, Flashpoint, Riven Tides) bring new map conditions, Arc threats, raider decks, and player projects, plus tweaks to existing content (e.g., Scrappy). Frosty weather remains a focus as the team teases a Stella Montis enemy potentially joining other maps and hints at broader Expeditions in the future to reduce FOMO.

Arc Raiders: Embark seeks fresh incentives as player resets rise

Embark Studios disclosed that just over a million Arc Raiders players (roughly 10% of the player base) reset their characters during the first expedition window, trading resets for cosmetics, an XP boost, expanded stash space, and up to five million credits for extra skill points. About 35-40% of those resets reached the five-million-credit target, and the studio is exploring ways to add variety to expeditions ahead of the next window, keeping momentum for 2026.
