Get Ready for the Epic Arc Raiders Wipe: Rewards, Risks, and a Whole Lot of Fun!

The Wipe Is Coming, and It’s Your Call!

Brace yourselves, brave Raiders! The legendary Arc Raiders wipe is just around the corner, and guess what? You get to decide if you want to dive into this reset extravaganza or keep your current progress rolling like a smooth jazz tune.

Now, many games, like that one where you build things and get shot at, might force you to start fresh. But not here! The wizards at Embark Studios are giving you the power to choose your own adventure. Fancy sending your old Raider on a permanent vacation? Or do you want to hold onto your hard-earned loot? The decision is all yours!

What Will You Get for Hit the Restart Button?

So, what’s in it for you if you decide to take the leap? Well, sit tight, because it’s juicy! When you choose to reset, you’ll wave goodbye to your skill tree, stash, and workshop – basically everything but your spirit of adventure (which, let’s face it, is priceless).

However, there’s a shiny silver lining: you’ll not only keep all your maps and potential upgrades right from the get-go, but you’ll also score some epic bonuses! Get ready to earn up to five skill points based on how much treasure is in your stash. That’s right—one million coins in value equals one tasty skill point! Plus, you can expand your stash space by an extra twelve slots, rock the Patchwork Raider outfit, and top it off with a Scrappy Janitor cap for some serious style points.

And don’t forget the temporary boosts! You’ll get a 10% repair buff, a 5% experience boost, and a lovely 6% more materials from Scrappy while you’re out hunting for loot. Just be warned: these boosts will vanish if you opt out of the next expedition, but everything else you unlock? That’s yours forever!

So, if you’re like us and the mention of skill points and stash space gets you drooling, consider this your call to action! But hey, keep in mind that the value of your stash will be calculated when the departure window closes—so don’t stop looting like a raccoon before then!

Stick Around or Brave the Wipe?

Not feeling adventurous enough to wipe your slate clean? No problem! The optional Expedition Project is here to save the day, letting you keep all that glorious progress you’ve made while respecting your time in-game. You can stick with your current caravan aspirations until the next departure window pops up in a couple of months, which is like free reign at a buffet!

Mark your calendars, folks! The Arc Raiders Expedition Window opens on Wednesday, December 17, and lasts until Monday, December 22. You gotta sign up in that sweet timeframe, and once the clock strikes departure, all registered players will head out for their adventure at the same time. It’s like a party, but with more loot and fewer awkward small talk moments!

So, what story are you going to craft in the Arc Raiders universe? The choice is yours, and we can’t wait to see your epic tales unfold. Get those gaming gears ready – it’s going to be one heck of a ride!
