ARC Raiders' 4th Expedition Replaces Skill Points With Blueprints and 150-Token Rewards

3 articles · Updated · arcraiders.com · Jun 23

Summary

  • July 7-21 marks ARC Raiders' fourth Expedition window, where players on their 4th run will earn Blueprints and Raider Tokens instead of Skill Points from the Expedition Challenge.
  • Five damage thresholds—5,000, 10,000, 30,000, 50,000 and 100,000—each grant one temporary Blueprint and 150 permanent Raider Tokens, with rewards delivered after departure.
  • The 4th Expedition also unlocks the first Zenith Outfit tier, adds 12 stash space for a 48-total bonus, and keeps consecutive buffs capped at the 3rd-Expedition level.
  • Sign-up remains separate from Caravan completion, all registered players depart automatically on July 21, and the last-call feature returns for missed windows.
  • The update is ARC Raiders' first use of a Mystery Reward system, part of a broader effort to rebalance progression for veterans while easing catch-up pressure on newer players.
