**ARC Raiders Expeditions: Full Guide to Resets, Requirements, and Rewards**
Expeditions are ARC Raiders’ unique take on resetting your account, often referred to as a “wipe” or “prestige” in other games. This mechanic forms a core part of progression in extraction shooters. In ARC Raiders, Expeditions come with a detailed list of requirements and some valuable rewards for those who complete the process. Here’s everything you need to know.

## How Expeditions Work in ARC Raiders
Expeditions are an **optional, opt-in wipe system**. When you choose to start an Expedition, you’ll reset most of your account progress in exchange for valuable future benefits—and help keep the gameplay fresh. Expeditions are entirely up to you. You control when (or if) they’ll occur, but be prepared: you’ll need to collect and turn in a *lot* of items to begin.
### Unlocking Expeditions
– You unlock Expeditions once you reach **Level 20**.
– Expeditions are a **six-stage process**, with each stage requiring larger amounts and rarer items to progress.

## The Expedition Departure Window
Once you’ve reached the sixth and final stage, you must wait for the **Expedition Departure Window**. As of game launch, the *first Departure Window* begins in December 2025. Departing on your Expedition during this period will reset almost your entire account—so make sure you’re ready!

## What Resets—and What Doesn’t—After an Expedition
Here’s what you lose and what you keep upon completing an Expedition:
### **What Resets**
– All Stash upgrades
– All Inventory items
– All collected Blueprints
– All Coins in your bank
– Earned player levels (you drop back to Level 1)
– All spent Skill Points
– Your Raider Den
– All Workshop upgrades
– All completed quests
### **What You Keep**
– All unlocked maps
– All unlocked Workshop stations
– All unlocked Codex entries
– All Raider Tokens
– All earned Cred
– All Raider Deck progress
– Your place on active Leaderboards
– Any active Trials
– All earned or purchased Cosmetics
– Any Personal Event progress
– Any bonus Skill Points earned from Expeditions
– Any bonus Stash Slots earned from Expeditions
The Expedition Departure Window lasts **seven days** after the roughly eight-week preparation period. This gives you a limited but fair grace period to depart or collect any last missing items.

## Expedition Rewards: Why You Should Complete Them
Completing an Expedition is a big commitment, but it’s not without its perks. Here’s what you can expect for choosing to reset your account:
– **Permanent account unlocks** for each completed Expedition
– **Unique cosmetic rewards** per Expedition
– **Account “buffs”** applied for the duration of the following Expedition cycle
– These buffs become more powerful with each successive Expedition, up to a limit.
– **Temporary bonuses** like XP boosts, more upgrade materials from Scrappy, improved weapon repairs, and more (buffs last for only one Expedition period).
Most importantly, **Expedition rewards are exclusive**. They are unlikely to ever appear in the in-game shop, as Deck rewards, or as tradable raid loot. They become badges of honor—tangible proof of your dedication and perseverance.
Expeditions are also a fantastic way to reinvigorate ARC Raiders if you’ve exhausted other content. Even after your first Departure Window, you’ll always have a long-term progression goal to strive for.

## Should You Go On an Expedition?
Whether to reset your account with an Expedition is entirely up to you. ARC Raiders offers plenty of in-game events and time-limited activities for those who want to keep things fresh without resetting.
For those looking for new challenges, permanent account rewards, and exclusive cosmetics, Expeditions offer a high-value, high-risk path—a true test of commitment in ARC Raiders.
