Expeditions are Embark’s way of adding optional progression wipes to Arc Raiders. However, raiders needed to amass a total of five million worth of loot or coins in order to get the most out of it, forcing players to grind for it in return for five skill points. Since this grind-focused approach didn’t go down too well with the community, the devs have decided to make the next expedition easier.
Embark devs have previously noted that they’re not opposed to changing things up based on player feedback. In a recent blog post, Embark revealed that signups for the next expedition will begin on February 25 and will officially begin on March 1. This time, though, you’ll only need to gather three million coins.
Arc Raiders Expeditions Reduce Minimum Required Coins
“Starting off, we want to get one announcement out of the way right off the bat: we’ve heard your feedback about the required Stash value for maximum rewards being too high, and have decided to lower the requirement to 3 million Coins (600k per Skill Point),” says the blog post. “The reward will still be 5 Skill Points for reaching the 3 million Stash value.”
That’s not all, though. The devs have decided to balance things out a bit for those of you who missed out on the first expedition via a “Catch Up Mechanic”. If you missed out on any of the five skill points offered as a part of the expedition rewards, you can now claim them at a discounted rate.

That can’t be good.
“For this Expedition, you will need to gather 300k Stash value per Skill Point missing from the first Expedition. When departing, Coins will contribute to the Skill Points of the second Expedition, before contributing to missing Skill Points from the first one.”
Along with the skill points, the blog also details the other rewards you’ll get as part of the second expedition: some cosmetics, additional stash spaces, and boosts to XP, repair value, and Scrappy loot. Thankfully, the devs have also given us plenty of time to prepare for the expedition, further mitigating some of the grind.
