Construct a caravan to send your Raider off on an Expedition beyond the Rust Belt.
Expeditions are perilous. Your Raider will carry all their possessions into the unknown beyond the Rust Belt. In return, your next Raider gains a unique edge that lasts until the next Expedition departs.
Undertaking an Expedition means your Raider leaves the Rust Belt for good. Preparing your caravan takes time and resources, and once it departs, much of your progress will be reset. Some rewards and advantages carry over to your next Raider, lasting until the next Expedition begins. These advantages can be increased by continuing to send Raiders on future Expeditions.
An Expedition is a recurring Project that offers players the opportunity to reset the progress of their Raider in exchange for permanent and temporary rewards. Anything inherent to Raider progress is reset, such as level, skills, and inventory. Account-level progress such as cosmetics, achievements, and anything involving real money is preserved. This Project is permanently unlocked once a Raider reaches level 20.
The total duration of the Expedition Project is approximately two months, divided into two phases. The first is the preparation phase, when players construct and supply their caravan. The final week or two is the Expedition Window, during which eligible players may sign up to depart and complete a challenge for up to 5 bonus Skill Points.
The upcoming Expedition Window is scheduled to open on July 7, 2026, with closing date unknown.
Stages
Each Expedition is a personal undertaking, with each player building and supplying their own Caravan. The first stage takes place during the preparation phase, while the remaining four occur during the Expedition Window.
Complete the Caravan
Players contribute goods and equipment to the Caravan over six stages. Contributions can be made at any time, including between Expedition Windows, and progress carries over across cycles.
Sign up
Once the Window opens, players sign up to depart. Completing the Caravan does not count as signing up.
Complete the Challenge
Optional. Players may earn up to 5 bonus skill points by completing the Expedition's challenge within the Window. The current challenge is based on dealing damage to any valid target.
Catch up
Optional. Players who have completed at least one previous Expedition may recover up to 5 Skill Points missed from earlier departures per catch-up.
Depart
All signed-up Raiders automatically depart when the Expedition Window closes. Players create a new Raider who receives the Expedition's permanent and temporary rewards.
Damage requirements
1 : 5,000 damage
2 : 10,000 damage
3 : 30,000 damage
4 : 50,000 damage
5 : 100,000 damage
From Embark
To put this into perspective, 100,000 damage is approximately equivalent to destroying 20 Bastions. We have tested these thresholds internally, and found that in a single, very good round, 8,000 - 10,000 damage was an achievable number.
Completing an Expedition gives permanent unlocks and temporary advantages. Temporary buffs can stack up to a maximum of three times for each consecutive departure of Expeditions, but are lost as soon as one departure window is missed.
Permanent rewards will persist regardless of if the Expedition project is completed again. Rewards depend upon which Expedition (in order) is completed.

Catch up
The catch up system allows players who completed a previous Expedition without earning all available Skill Points to reclaim the ones they missed during subsequent Expeditions, at a heavily discounted coin cost.
For example, a player who completed the previous Expedition and earned only 3 out of 5 Skill Points can reclaim the 2 they missed. During the next Expedition, earning all 5 Skill Points requires 600k per Skill Point, for a total of 3,000,000 in stash value and coins combined. The 2 missed Skill Points can then be reclaimed for 300k each, bringing the grand total to 3,600,000 to earn all current and reclaimed Skill Points.
A few important notes:
Rewards and requirements may change in future Expeditions, and catch up skill points won't be available indefinitely.
Skill Points can only be reclaimed for Expeditions the player participated in. Players who did not sign up during the Expedition window are unable to reclaim those Skill Points
