Imagine, if you can, completing the Expedition in Arc Raiders. Getting everything together for your caravan, shipping off your character and then – to your horror – the numbers don't go up like they should. "The skill points, where are they?" you might exclaim to nobody in particular. Some are living this right now, but Embark is taking action.
The most recent Expedition period in the extraction shooter finishes today, May 11, and it appears players have been getting short-changed. Upon making sure they have everything necessary for their raider to disappear into the sunset, they've found the extra skill points didn't register, leaving them without one large incentive for participating.
Developer Embark Studios is not only aware, but on the case. "We're aware of the missing skill points issue after completing the expedition," Ossen, Arc Raiders community lead says in a post on the game's official Discord. "Our team is actively investigating and we'll keep you posted as soon as we have more information."
A hotfix should be coming relatively soon, but this is a tricky problem because triangulating the cause and the extent could be difficult. It all depends on how many players have been impacted, and what the reason behind this happening is.
My guess would be something to do with the change-up in how the points are earned. Previously, it was all about the overall value of your stash, but for this one, Embark decided to alter it to it being determined by how much damage you've administered during the Expedition period.
This made matches over the last while particularly hazardous when it came to PvP, but it could also be some part of why this bug has occurred. Whatever the case, we'll keep you informed on a remedy if you're eagerly awaiting your well-earned skill points.
