Arc Raiders pauses Expeditions until early 2027 for major overhaul

Embark Studios will suspend Expeditions in Arc Raiders after the upcoming fifth run and not resume them until early 2027 while it reworks the system. Expeditions are a prestige-style feature that lets high-level players reset progress in exchange for unique rewards, and the system has drawn criticism for grind, reward balance, and accessibility. Earned consecutive buffs will remain active during the pause and any partially completed Caravans will be converted into Ermal Vouchers. Embark will publish more details about the planned changes in September.

• The fifth Expedition will be the last until early 2027 while Embark reworks the entire Expeditions system.
• Expeditions function like a prestige reset, offering unique benefits to high-level players but have been criticized for tight departure windows, grind-heavy rewards, and poor accessibility for new players.
• All consecutive buffs already earned by players will persist through the pause and partially completed Caravans will be replaced with Ermal Vouchers of equal value.
• Embark plans to share detailed information about the planned major changes in September.
