Embark Studios has announced that the Arc Raiders Expedition reward requirements have been changed and will no longer be based on Stash Value. In a surprising update, the end-of-season wipe mechanic has now been completely overhauled. Here is the new Arc Raiders Expedition release window and all rewards.

Arc Raiders Expedition Requirements Overhauled (No More Stash Value)

In previous Arc Raiders Expedition wipes, rewards were tied to your total stash value. So if you wanted to get all five permanent skill points, you would have to collect at least $3 million worth of items throughout the season. However, Embark Studios surprised players by announcing that the rewards system will be overhauled starting on April 28, 2026.

In an official blog post, the Swedish developer revealed that Arc Raiders Expedition rewards will now be tied to the total amount of damage dealt to enemies and not loot value. After completing the Caravan, a new challenge will be appear that will require you to deal a certain amount of damage to unlock the permanent skill points.

For your convenience, here is how the new Arc Raiders Expedition requirements work:

Deal damage challenge instead of stash value for skill points. Instead of gathering stash value and coins, players will now have to deal damage to get all 5 skill points (regardless if it’s your first, second or third expedition). All players who have completed their Caravan will get the challenge (no need to sign up to see it). You can complete the challenge by dealing damage with any weapon or gadget against any target (except practice range). Players will have 5 days to complete the damage challenge (Tuesday to Sunday).
