The Fourth Expedition
Key Points:
- The fourth Expedition launches on July 7th and runs until July 21st, with a 14-day window for players to sign up, complete challenges, and earn rewards; all participants will automatically depart at the window's close.
- This Expedition introduces a new reward system for fourth-time players, replacing Skill Points with Blueprints and Raider Tokens, which are earned based on damage dealt during the event and have no catch-up mechanic.
- Blueprints earned are temporary and reset after each Expedition, while Raider Tokens are permanent and can be used for cosmetic upgrades; completing the fourth Expedition also unlocks the first level of the new Zenith Outfit and increases stash space.
- Consecutive participation in Expeditions grants buffs like XP boosts and material bonuses, capped at three levels, encouraging continuous play without penalizing missed windows, though missing an Expedition halts buff progression.
- The developers acknowledge challenges for new players catching up and promise ongoing efforts to balance rewards between veterans and newcomers, inviting player feedback to improve future Expeditions.
