Expedition
From ARC Raiders Wiki
More actions
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.
Expedition is a recurring Project unlocked at level 20. At the end of the project, players can trade most of their account's progress in exchange for both temporary and permanent rewards.
The Current Expedition takes place from 22 December, 2025 to 18 February, 2026. The departure window is from 17 February to 24 February.
Overview
Players will have 60 days to complete all 6 stages of the project, where various resources are committed and cannot be retrieved. Once all stages are complete and the departure window is open, players will have a 7-day window to depart with their caravan.
