Expedition 2 (2nd Journey)

From ARC Raiders Wiki

Congrats on completing your first Expedition, here's toward bigger and better adventures on your Second Expedition. It will soon be time to open up the tunnels out of Speranza and send our second wave of ambitious Raiders to new adventures beyond the Rust Belt.

Currently this Expedition takes place from 22 December, 2025 to 1 March, 2026 UTC. The Expedition signup window is expected to open on 22 February, 2026 and remain open until 1 March, 2026 UTC. If you do not sign up during this period and have completed the previous expedition, your Temporary Buffs will be lost.
