Arc Raiders Expedition 2: Start Date, Rewards, and More

Arc Raiders has proven again and again that it can stand apart in a genre as saturated as extraction shooters. Whether it be its unique setting or visual style, the game has forged a unique identity. A big part of the game’s identity is the Expedition Project, a voluntary wipe system that gives players the option between retiring their current character and exchanging their current progress for permanent upgrades.

After the first Expedition launched, players have been grinding Arc Raiders and eagerly waiting for the next Expedition. Thankfully, with the release of the Arc Raiders 1.15.0 update, Expedition 2 is right around the corner. Here’s everything you need to know about Arc Raiders Expedition 2.

When Does Arc Raiders Expedition 2 Start?

Arc Raiders Expedition 2 will start on March 1, 2026. However, unlike standard seasonal wipes, the game employs a departure window. You can continue playing with your current character until the very last second. However, you must sign up within the specific timeframe to get the rewards associated with the 2nd Expedition. The sign-up for Expedition 2 begins on February 25, 2026, which means players will have exactly 4 days to finalise their donations for Expedition 2.
