Embark Studios has announced major changes for ARC Raiders' third Expedition, shifting Skill Point rewards from stash value to a damage-based challenge.
Players must now deal damage during a five-day window to earn up to five Skill Points, rather than accumulating stash value or coins.
The update aims to reduce grind and encourage active play, with additional rewards including cosmetics, increased stash space, and consecutive progression buffs.

Does Embark's lean success with ARC Raiders signal the end for bloated AAA game development studios?
Can the 'Catch Up' mechanic help new players without cheapening rewards earned by dedicated veterans?
