Embark Studios has revealed what rewards players can expect during the second expedition in ARC Raiders, which kicks off at the end of February. The studio published an announcement outlining adjustments to event mechanics and the bonuses available to participants, describing both permanent and temporary benefits tied to the expedition’s progression system.
The second expedition runs from February 25 through March 1. During this window, raiders will be able to leave Speranza, reset their progress and restart their runs in exchange for a package of permanent and time-limited rewards. The developers also reworked the event’s economy: the price of extra skill points has been lowered from one million credits to 600,000 credits per point, and previously missed bonus skill points can now be purchased at a reduced rate.
Among the rewards scheduled for this expedition are an improved patchwork suit, cosmetic items for the Plushkin character, an updated expedition icon, expanded storage, and a bundle of temporary boosts. Those temporary bonuses include experience multipliers, increased material drops, higher repair efficiency, and additional skill points; the amount of extra skill points available will depend on how much the player participated in the prior stage of the event.
Embark Studios says the current progression model will continue to evolve: the second expedition builds on the first and the developer has already confirmed that the next stage of the expedition cycle is planned for April. The studio provided the event details as part of its official explanatory notes for players preparing to take part in the repeatable expedition system.
