Embark Studios has announced updates for the highly anticipated second Expedition in their sci-fi extraction shooter, Arc Raiders. After feedback highlighted the community's disappointment with the first Expedition’s reward system, the developer has promised improved incentives. Players can look forward to a more reasonable stash value requirement of only 3 million coins for five skill points, a drastic reduction from the previous one million per skill point. Additionally, a new catch-up feature allows returning players to reclaim missed points. New permanent rewards include customizable outfits and increased storage capacity, alongside enhanced experience and material bonuses for returning players. Following a DDoS attack that impacted gameplay, the studio remains focused on addressing cheating issues while rolling out exciting new content.
