From now on, to earn bonus Expedition points in Arc Raiders, players must no longer stockpile credits and valuable loot in their stash, but instead deal damage. Initially, players were expected to have only five days to complete the new challenge.
This sparked a wave of dissatisfaction within the Arc Raiders community, since not everyone can afford to play on workdays — in that case, they would have been forced to deal a huge amount of damage over a single weekend, otherwise missing out on 5 points.
Embark Studios reviewed the feedback and decided to expand the Expedition submission window:
One of the core principles of the Expedition project is respect for your time. We heard you and made changes to the skill point requirements. The Expedition window has been extended — all players will have from April 28 to May 11 to get a fair chance to fill ARC with lead.
The damage requirements remain unchanged (you can attack robots or other players):
- To earn one bonus point, you need to deal 5 thousand damage
- 2 points — 10 thousand damage
- 3 points — 30 thousand damage
- 4 points — 50 thousand damage
- 5 points — 100 thousand damage
The Arc Raiders developers will continue collecting feedback and adjusting the balance:
Like everything that requires balancing, the Expedition project is in constant development, and we will continue responding to your playstyle to improve your adventures in the Rust Belt. Keep sharing feedback and stock up on ammo for a grand firefight.
