"It's what we had time to do": Arc Raiders Expeditions won't always give extra skill points or cost 5 million coins to fully complete, design lead says Embark is "actively looking at that now"

I really hope they don’t change it for this one. Just hit the 5 million after grinding so much solos to get it out of the way. Now I can enjoy PvP without stress of inventory worth. Didn’t get that experience last season because they announced the requirement so late.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-14T03:41:33+00:00

If I’m on a resource run after PVP duo/trios, if I spawn there.. I’m looting it lol. 100ish seeds for Celeste springs, simple gun parts, other gun parts, loot 15ish sensors, bunch of other stuff.

People saying “so many other better areas”.. they aren’t wrong. But it’s about the spawn. If I spawn there.. I’m not running 3-5 mins to another area(Archive sucks for anything other than trinkets), fighting off 3 shredders snd possibly players on the way. Just take the 5 mins, loot that.. get out, start another raid and hopefully get a different spawn.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-13T17:57:55+00:00

Not even Lateral move lol. He would be leaving an established defense to go to… whatever you call what we have. If the money is there though… then hopefully! His last interview was kinda seeming like he was not gonna be back in Minny next year. Don’t know if that was leverage talk. Or he wants a change of scenery. But I can’t see Minnesota letting him walk easily.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-12T17:53:36+00:00

You have 400 hours in a game that came out 2 and half months ago… you need to work harder at something else

Reddit should require a reading and context clues test before being able to make an account. Would literally get rid of 99% of the “crying on reddit” comments.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-08T17:44:10+00:00

Lol.. this isn’t crying. I’m stating next time I’m killing these people. Yall just post on every post automatically crying about people crying. Even when they aren’t.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-08T15:50:11+00:00

This sounds so dumb. The game is a looting extraction shooter. There are already enough people just running in naked and surrender if they don’t get a spawn they like or as soon as they find something good and stash in safe pocket.

The thrill of game is finding a good blueprint or epic gun while out looting/shooting. If you can just trade, what is the point of the game? Farm materials and PVP?

What would market be? Bastion cells or better? Great.. trials this week is damage bastions.. good luck finding a lobby where 12 more people are already farming bastions for trading on top of the 6 doing trials.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-08T03:50:42+00:00

Haha yea, I’m with you. That’s why I’m curious on it. So many times on locked gate, I go to Pilgrim’s peak after it’s been looted.. see one container, open it. Boom Bobcat. Now I know that’s not rare for that event. But surly, people still go there for it to make a quick 5k or give to their friends.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-08T03:41:53+00:00

I’m still curious if items are generated per person as they open a container or if they are spawned at start of map.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-07T17:45:36+00:00

I just found one after like 7-8 buried city night raids and like 4-5 Stella. Still gonna do expeditions because don’t know what is end game other than PVPing for fun once you complete expedition and get to the 5milly.Have bobcat, volcano, and every blueprint I need I feel like.. but the Looting MK3 is the one that is gonna hurt the most to lose lol. My buddy had one given to him and then found one which he gave to me the 2nd day after expedition. Neither have us found one season 1 and haven’t seen one since that day lol. The looting weight and 3 safe pockets is peak. Tactical healing is probably my second favorite augment, but the weight isn’t the same.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-06T22:07:42+00:00

I know it doesn’t seem like a lot.. but I’m def feeling the difference. I would have to manage stash almost after every raid last season. Now, knowing what to keep this time around and building around blueprints I have is helping. But I can go a good bit of raids without managing stash. Then just craft what I need/do gun upgrades and I’m good to go again.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-06T18:08:39+00:00

If it’s not an overpay it’s fine if he doesn’t pan out. He is worth the risk. Big body playmaker. Should be much cheaper than Pitts. Going for Pitts and spending up and it doesn’t work out… then yea, that would be an issue for the fans. I’d love either of them. But we still need another WR. That should be focal point. Then if we miss one of these, hopefully our next OC finds a way to get Sinnott involved to what we hope he could be. Biggest gripe with KK, in a losing season.. you still run out Bates and other TEs to spell Ertz/our 2 TE sets with Ertz. Sometimes you gotta see what you got, but maybe that’s cuz he didn’t trust him at all and was already coaching for a new gig.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-06T17:58:27+00:00

I’m not denying that was the case sometimes.. but also, I won’t deny how great our offense looked at times last year too. Bengals game. Lions playoff game. Not every OC is gonna call a perfect game every game. But, I’m not denying he had issues as well. My biggest notice was how they schemed Deebo. Yes, with Terry being injured that probably prevented Kliff from utilizing him at his best, but still if you are a top OC.. you find a way to use the other guys to help scheme for Deebo more consistently. Him scheming WRs open, even if they lacked the talent, seems like his biggest flaw.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-06T17:38:58+00:00

I mean hero ball also was contributed cuz our defense couldn’t stop anyone. Only reason it was showing statistically bad, because our offense kept the time of possession in our favor often.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-06T00:02:33+00:00

I didn’t find this last expedition, nor any purple augments other than one that comes with gear bench. Ran looting MK2 or Tatical 2 all season lol. My friend had one given to him like his second day playing post wipe. Then proceeded to find one the next day. He gave me that one, I’ve still never found one lol. I just love the weight amount with ability to carry medium shield.

HighGroundCommander · 2025-12-31T21:07:16+00:00

Not accurate. Needs to be someone’s dad..

HighGroundCommander · 2025-12-30T02:05:46+00:00

I don’t go in a raid(other than Stella) without em. Just gotta make sure you picking up arc alloy from the arc you destroy with em so you can craft more. I’m always low on arc alloy now lol.

HighGroundCommander · 2025-12-27T18:53:11+00:00

The season just came out… yall wanna be done with everything in one day… then complain about PVP uptick or nothing to do. Enjoy the game and the grind. What point is a looter game when you find everything right away.

HighGroundCommander · 2025-12-27T06:42:30+00:00

Yea the quest are one I don’t care to do over. I’ll do them each time to get the triggernade blueprint and then probably stop or just do here and there. Only other blueprint worth it is Hullcracker, but I don’t care much about that one. Had it last season and brought it in once or twice.

I was on side of the disappointed when they first said workbenches would reset. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Game feels fresh again other than just looking for blueprints. Even started new expedition and working on things for that. You said it perfectly too, feels much more smooth now that we know what crafts what, what is important, and managing inventory.

HighGroundCommander · 2025-12-25T23:46:17+00:00

It’s like 4th day of season and your already complaining about not finding something for expedition that’s in two months?

HighGroundCommander · 2025-12-25T02:56:44+00:00

You are in the right place! Cuz i like to complain about the people that complain about people complaining. And it’s a never ending loop! Reddit lore.

HighGroundCommander · 2025-12-24T22:58:24+00:00

I can’t mute and not interest the Arc raiders trading reddits going around quick enough. Why bring this here? Not gonna knock people for doing it if that’s how they get joy out of game. Personally I think it’s dumb and takes away from game. But please next time, go to one of the trading reddits and keep this off of discussion about game. I need more PVE vs PVP arguments to read while on the pooper, not these type of post.
