Arc Raiders players blast new Expedition system that requires you to play on specific days and ignores the money you've saved: "F you if you can't play"

A newly announced revision to Arc Raiders' season-wiping Expedition system has sparked blowback from players, particularly those who worry they won't be available to play during the five-day challenge teed up by developer Embark Studios, or those frustrated that the resources they've saved all season no longer matter.

For the Expedition sign-up opening April 28 and closing May 4, Arc Raiders players will not need to purchase bonus skill points with money or stash value, but can instead earn them by completing a "deal damage" challenge in a five-day window. The shift from saving money to dealing damage seems to have been more positively received, but the way it's been announced and implemented has proven unpopular among many.
