Embark tells Arc Raiders players to expect "significant changes" to the skill tree, admitting many skills kind of suck: "I don't think by any means we nailed it"

The next Expedition in Arc Raiders is dated to start on April 28 with the Riven Tides update, but this one's going to be different. Rather than earning extra skill points through accumulated wealth, players now do so through dealing a certain amount of damage, creating a five-day window where chaos will reign. In the background, developer Embark Studios is working to make those skill points more appealing.

This change was revealed in the announcement of the latest Expedition. In case you're unaware, this is a mechanic Arc Raiders that allows players who've maxed out their rewards to sunset their current characters in return for certain perks, including extra skill points, and start anew for the next season.
