Raiders!

It will soon be time to open the tunnels outside Speranza and send a second wave of ambitious raiders on new adventures beyond the Rust Belt.

Raiders can register starting February 25th, with departure occurring March 1st. This is your chance to resume your journey with new raiders and additional buffs and bonuses.

Before your expedition, we want to provide you with all the information you need to prepare in advance.

First of all, I would like to make one announcement right away. We listened to your feedback that the stash required for maximum rewards was too high, so we’ve lowered the requirement to 3 million coins (600,000 per skill point). If you reach 3 million stash value, your reward will still be 5 skill points.

catch up mechanic

For raiders who were unable to collect enough coins during their first expedition, we are introducing a skill point catch-up system that allows raiders to regain missed coins. Catch-up skill points are heavily discounted, reducing the total amount of coins needed to reach maximum skill points on each expedition. Collect your entire stash value and enjoy skill points before everyone else. If you fail, a catch-up system allows you to make up the difference over time.

This expedition requires you to collect a stash value of 300,000 for every skill point you missed in the first expedition. On departure, coins contribute to the skill points of the second expedition before contributing to the skill points lost in the first expedition.

Please note that rewards and requirements may change for future expeditions, and bonus skill points are not available indefinitely on expeditions that continue to depart.

Rewards, stacks, and extras

Players joining an Expedition for the first time will receive rewards from their first Expedition (more information here).

Those who continue to depart will be given more storage space and skill points. Permanent bonuses earned on previous expeditions are retained even if the raider chooses not to depart again. The Patchwork Outfit adds four additional toggles and two new color options for those joining the second expedition, as well as a new Scrappy costume. Buffs accumulate for those who continue to set out on consecutive expeditions, but reset for those who decide not to set out again.

Trophy display projects, cosmetics, raider deck progress, unlocked map areas, leaderboard positions and trials, codex entries, and raider tokens are not affected by expeditions.
