Should you waste tons of resources to fill up the Expedition, on top of that lose all the progress you’ve made. Or should you continue enjoying the game with what you have, and try not to cry about the unique rewards you miss with the wipe.
So, the real question is: should you wipe or not?
Before answering the question, we first must understand…
What is the Expedition Project, and the reason behind it.
ARC Raiders Expedition project is a simple solution for: Balancing gameplay between hardcore players and newcomers, and preventing players from reaching the end-game and then quitting out of boredom. This clever feature lets you wipe all your progress, but in exchange, you unlock unique rewards that are only available through expedition.
What we Lose, and What we Get?
| What’s Lost: | What We Gain: |
|---|---|
| The whole Inventory (gear, resources, items) | New maps |
| Blueprints | New Cosmetics |
| Coins | Bonus stash slots |
| Raider Levels & skill points | Extra buffs (XP, drop rats etc…) |
| Workshop upgrades/progress | Extra skill points on reset |
| Stash upgrades/progress | Access to future Expeditions |
| Raider Den | |
| All completed as well as pending quests | |
| In Short – Everything | Unique Expedition-Only Rewards! |
When you wipe, you lose all progress tied to your current Raider, but you gain valuable account upgrades, buffs, exclusive cosmetics, and advantages that make each new run faster and more rewarding. This keeps future playthroughs fresh and lets you show off your dedication!
Who Should Wipe?
Wiping isn’t for everyone, but if you see yourself in any of these groups, it’s probably the right call!
Completionists & Prestige Hunters:
Chasing every cosmetic, event rank, and permanent account buff. You want it all, and wiping is the only way to unlock everything!
Min-Max Strategists:
If squeezing out the best XP, loot, and upgrade rates every run is your thing, wiping lets you stack season rewards for maximum efficiency.
HC Raiders Who’ve Done It All:
Already maxed out your Raider, finished the hardest quests, and the current content feels stale? Wipe now and set yourself up for bigger wins in the next season.
If you’re hungry for the next challenge or exclusive rewards, don’t hesitate, wiping gives you a head start on every new season and lets you show off your commitment to the game. The adventure doesn’t end, it levels up.
Who Should Wait?
You don’t have to wipe just because you can! If any of these sound like you, it’s smart to hold off:
Collectors & Slow-Paced Explorers:
Still grinding out rare blueprints, side missions, or just enjoying the story? Keep your progress safe and wipe later.
Casual or Weekend Raiders:
Not playing every day? You probably want to hang onto your hard-earned gear and upgrades a little longer.
Halfway thru Raiders:
If you wipe before finishing important missions or reaching endgame goals, you might lose out on rewards or story content this cycle.
Jumping the gun can mean missing out on goals you’re close to achieving, or losing valuable progress you worked hard for. Be patient, there’s no rush to wipe, and the option is always there when you’re truly ready for a fresh start.
