Are you prepared for your next expedition?
Raiders and gamers are pretty excited for the ARC Raiders Expedition 2, which will be dropping soon. Everyone has already started to prepare before the second wipe comes.
After that, everyone will once again have a fresh start. The expedition project lets players reset their characters in exchange for exclusive cosmetics and permanent bonuses. Let’s check out a more detailed guide on the upcoming expedition in this article.
ARC Raiders Expedition 2 Start Date
The Expedition is all scheduled to begin on March 1, 2026. Before that, players will need to sign up during the departure window. The departure window will open up on February 25, 2026.
Players will get four days to complete their donations and prepare their characters properly before departing.
Unlike traditional seasonal wipes, users can continue to play as their existing character until they decide to leave. To obtain Expedition-specific incentives, you must sign up within the term specified.
How to prepare for Expedition 2?
To access the project, you must reach level 20 first in the game. After unlocking, the donations are divided into five phases.
This requires materials, components, and item-value contributions such as combat gear, survival items, provisions, and crafting materials.
Completing all these phases will allow players to finalize their caravan and depart when ready.
