The second Arc Raiders Expedition window will open February 25 and run through March 1, and developer Embark has finally announced what players need to prepare to get maximum rewards. The short version is 3 million coins, down from 5 million in the first Expedition.

"Starting off, we want to get one announcement out of the way right off the bat: we’ve heard your feedback about the required Stash value for maximum rewards being too high, and have decided to lower the requirement to 3 million Coins (600k per Skill Point)," the studio says in a blog post. "The reward will still be 5 Skill Points for reaching the 3 million Stash value."

Even if you were only missing a few points from the last Expedition, you're still getting a 70% discount here – down from 1 million coins a pop – which is mighty nice.

Embark says this is not indicative of future Expeditions. Rewards and requirements may change again, and "skill points won’t be available indefinitely for those that continue to depart," the devs affirm.
