Arc Raiders is halting Expeditions until 2027 so it can make 'major improvements' to the system
The fifth Expedition in September will be the last for a while.
Arc Raiders, developed by Embark Studios, has announced a pause in its Expeditions feature until early 2027 in order to make significant improvements to the system. Expeditions in Arc Raiders serve a similar function to prestige in Call of Duty, allowing high-level players to reset a portion of their character's progress for unique benefits.
The developer has been addressing player feedback regarding the Expeditions system, particularly issues with tight departure windows, reward structure, and accessibility for new players. Embark has concluded that these issues require more substantial changes than incremental fixes. The fifth and final Expedition will be released in September, with Embark planning to share more details about the upcoming improvements.
Players who have already earned consecutive buffs during this pause period will retain their progress, while partially completed Caravans will be replaced with Ermal Vouchers of equal value.
