Expeditions are Embark Studios' response to the complicated topic of "wipes" in Extraction shooters, which have always split the community. Instead of wiping progress for all players every few months, Embark decided to give players an optional wipe every 60 days.
As we approach two months post the game's release, Embark have finally announced ARC Raiders Expedition rewards, and the time window in which players will be able to wipe their character. Here is everything you need to know.

This is Embark Studios' middle ground as they try to cater to both the more hardcore and the more casual sides of their community, allowing the more dedicated players to reset most of their progress for some rewards.
When your character leaves the Rust Belt you lose everything with a couple exceptions. Everything you've collected thus far, including the exceedingly rare blueprints.
As a way to speed up the initial stages of your next character's route, you will start with access to all maps and will be able to unlock all workshop upgrades as soon as you have the materials.

You get one skill point per one million coins worth of value (actual coins and stash value), up to a maximum of five skill points. So if you want to get maximum rewards on this Expedition, you need to have five million coins worth of value between your coins and your stash value.
To know your Stash value, you can just select all items you own with the Multi Select button (CTRL on PC), and then press sell to check the total Stash value.
Besides the permanent unlocks, you also get temporary bonuses:
These temporary buffs last until the next Expedition come around, and will stack for the next three Expeditions. But if you don't embark on the next Expedition, you will lose those buffs until you embark on another.
Will you be resetting your character this time around, or are the ARC Raiders Expedition rewards not worth what you are losing?
