A complete player’s guide to the Expedition soft reset: inventory wipes, permanent unlocks, and post-departure rewards explained.

Everything you need to complete the Caravan Project, hit damage thresholds, and claim your Zenith Outfit before the system goes on pause.

The safest ARC Raiders materials priority list does not rank loot by rarity alone. A common component can block your next Workshop level, while an expensive trinket may be worth selling the moment you confirm it has no current quest, Project, Scrappy, crafting, or upgrade use. Use this order after every raid: protect active progression items first, save hard-to-replace Workshop […]

The ARC Raiders Expedition 4 mystery rewards are not one random box. On a Raider’s personal fourth Expedition, the damage challenge can award up to five temporary Blueprints and 750 permanent Raider Tokens. Completing the Expedition itself also unlocks the first Zenith Outfit tier and +12 permanent stash space. The key is knowing what lasts. Raider Tokens, Zenith progression, and […]

If your Workshop is stuck, more Coins are not always the answer. ARC Raiders bench upgrades are primarily blocked by specific materials, while Coins solve a different part of progression: stash space, vendor spending, replacement gear and the cost of staying raid-ready. That makes the fastest route different for a new Raider with missing components than for an established player […]

For most players comparing ARC Raiders Trophy Project vs Fourth Expedition, finish your personal Fourth Expedition first if you intend to depart in the current window. Trophy Display has no fixed deadline, and its Project progress survives an Expedition. Your Expedition, however, can only be completed during a scheduled departure window. That recommendation is especially important now. The current Expedition […]

If you want a specific Arc Raiders blueprint without giving someone access to your account, Self-Play Delivery is the straightforward option. You play your own character, meet the booster in a live raid, receive the purchased blueprint, and extract with it yourself. That differs from Piloted Delivery, where the booster plays on your account. What “Self-Play” Blueprint Delivery Actually Means […]

Switching squad size without changing your raid plan can cost you good loot after the matchmaking changes. For the best ARC Raiders solo duo trio strategy, choose your queue around the objective instead of using the same route and risk level for every raid. Solo, Duo, and Trio now have separate playstyle tracking, while Update 1.38 made matchmaking work harder […]

Running out of stash space forces bad decisions. You sell a workshop material, recycle a quest item, or break up a ready loadout just to make room for the next extraction. The best ARC Raiders stash expansion order is to buy the cheap early upgrades quickly, stop around 208 slots if your Coin income is still unstable, then push toward […]

If one Level 3 bench is blocking gear you actually use, farm that station yourself. If several benches are behind and your playtime is limited, a Crafting Station Boost is the faster route. Do not max everything without checking your Expedition plan, because Workshop progress resets when your Raider departs. For most players, Refiner Level 2 should come first, followed […]

Lockdown gets frustrating when you keep winning fights but the challenge bars barely move. The fastest solution is not more kills. Use every free Killstreak, move early for High Value zones, and deliberately flip enemy controlled objectives instead of wandering between fights. Lockdown Casual is built around Drone Labs on Verdansk. You enter with your Custom Loadout, continuously respawn, and […]

Do not hold your whole Workshop back while hunting one Cat Bed or Very Comfortable Pillow. The better progression order is to upgrade Scrappy to Level 2 as soon as the Dog Collar drops, reach Level 3 early for stronger passive materials, then keep your essential benches moving while you collect the rarer Level 4 and Level 5 items. Scrappy […]
