Embark Studios’ ARC Raiders is the extraction shooter everyone’s been talking about since its launch on October 30. As players enjoy the game’s addictive mix of PvP and PvE, high-level players who just reached Level 20 can start doing Expeditions.
In this guide, I'll break down everything you need to know about ARC Raiders Expeditions and detail the Prestige system.
ARC Raiders Expeditions
n short, ARC Raiders’ Expeditions are character wipes that start your character from scratch. Once your character is reset, you gain a set amount of buffs in your next run, including cosmetics.
It’s a way of keeping everything fresh without losing its extraction shooter appeal, which returns the thrill of grinding again. Think of it as a Prestige System where, instead of losing your progress, you get stronger and stronger each reset.
Lorewise, this is basically your character saying goodbye to the Rust Belt. They will now venture further into realms unknown, off to greener pastures. That means your Raider will need every help it can get by stocking up on essential items, materials, and weapons.
Keep in mind that Expeditions only happen once every 8 or so weeks. It does not mean you get reset instantly; rather, there’s a set date. So everyone will start fresh at the same time.
Expeditions are completely optional, and no one is forcing you to wipe your character unless you feel like starting over.
What Does The Expedition Take Away?
Like every character wipe, you will lose mostly everything. Here’s everything that will be reset when you perform an Expedition:
- Stash Upgrade Progress
- Inventory Items
- Blueprints (and learned Blueprints)
- Coins
- Player Level
- Skill Points
- Raider Den
- Workshop
- Quests
What Do You Keep After an Expedition?
The good news is that not everything is totally lost. Here’s everything you can keep after an ARC Raiders Expedition:
- Unlocked Maps
- Unlocked Workshop Stations
- Codex Entries
- Raider Tokens
- Raider Tokens
- Cred
- Raider Decks Progress
- Active Leaderboards

How to Complete an Expedition in ARC Raiders?
Players will only have 80 days to gather resources and complete their caravan during an Expedition. We’ve made a comprehensive guide on all the requirements needed for an Expedition here, alongside a list of items and materials that you should not recycle.
The materials needed are substantial, so you have to be really committed to reset your character progress. Planning ahead is essential. Failure to depart from the Expedition will not give you access to buffs until the next reset schedule.
