ARC Raiders: Expedition 2 – All about rewards, skins and necessary materials

In ARC Raiders you can soon send your character on its third expedition. You can find out what rewards await you upon completion and what materials you need for all steps here.

When does Expedition 3 start? In ARC Raiders, the construction phase for Expedition 3 has already begun. Players can now start collecting resources to donate. Here are the dates you should remember to not miss the respective time windows:

• Construction Phase – March 2 to April 28, 2026: Here you start submitting your collected materials to complete the respective steps for the expedition.
• Sign-Up for Departure – April 29 to May 4, 2026: Embark now gives you almost a week to decide whether you want to participate in the wipe or not. You can only decide once – the choice is binding.
• Departure Day – May 5, 2026: Your Raider embarks on its journey – the wipe is now irreversible.

If you miss the sign-up and do not send your Raider on the journey, your progress in the expedition will be saved. You can then continue where you left off at the start of the next expedition.

Rewards for Expedition 3

What rewards await in Expedition 3? If you choose the third expedition, you can expect permanent and temporary bonuses and rewards. Temporary buffs can stack up to three times, once for each consecutive expedition. However, they will be lost if you miss a start window (source: arcraiders.wiki).

Temporary buffs include:

• Repair Buff (10% per completion of an expedition)
• XP Boost (5% per completion of an expedition)
• Boost for Scrappy’s yield (6% per completion of an expedition)

Concrete permanent rewards are currently not known and will be revealed in the coming days and weeks. They could once again include cosmetics, skill points, and storage slots. By the way, if it’s your first expedition, you will receive the rewards from the first expedition.

Note that you will need enough coins to “buy” skill points. Your storage and coins will be combined in your account at departure. One skill point costs 600,000 coins, and you can receive a maximum of 5.
