Arc Raiders studio want future Expeditions to be less about fat stacks and FOMO

Arc Raiders recently concluded its first Expedition, this being a voluntary, narrative-led character reset achieved by hoarding and donating resources over a set period. The idea is vaguely that you’re funding a mighty caravan to the boondocks. In return, you’ll get tiered rewards such as faster progression, bonus skill points and a larger stash. Participation in Expedition is split across various stages with different completion requirements – the final leg of the first one saw players amassing non-specific items worth hundreds of thousands of coins.


Being opt-in, Expeditions are designed to be a gentler alternative to the playerbase-wide seasonal ‘prestiging’ mechanics or progression wipes of other online games. Developers Embark say just over a million people took part in the first Expedition – Arc Raiders has sold around 12 million copies to date – with "something close to about 35% or 40%” of those players bagging the full set of Expedition skill points, in the words of design director Virgil Watkins.

[p]Hey, Raiders!
[/p][p]Update 1.11.0 is rolling out on all platforms and it brings the highly anticipated Abyss cosmetic set along with some fixes and balancing changes to the Trigger ‘Nade and Kettle. Restart your client to download.[/p][p][/p][p]We are also celebrating a huge milestone - 12 million ARC Raiders copies sold!

  • [p]Kettle[/p]
    • [p]Dev note: Reduced fire rate from 600 to 450. The previous fire rate was only realistically reachable by players using macros, which creates an unfair dynamic that favours using 3rd party software.[/p]
  • [p]Trigger ‘Nade[/p]
    • [p]Dev note: Trigger ‘Nade currently dominates PVP encounters, and players favour picking it over all our other grenades. This nerf aims to make it less usable as a “trigger-in-air” grenade, whilst keeping its usefulness as a sticky bomb. Damage falloff has been rebalanced to concentrate the damage closer to the center of the explosion, and deal less damage further away. The delay between triggering the grenade and it detonating, has been increased from 0.7s to 1.5s, giving players more time to react, and making it harder to time the detonation in air.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a key card exploit that allowed players to keep room keys after using them.[/p]
  • [p]Lighting has been lowered in some areas on Stella Montis Night Raid making flashlights and listening more relevant.[/p]
