Expedition quest resets are blocking access to new Arc Raiders quests
The Arc Raiders Expedition system has improved recently — skill points that once cost $1 million were cut to $600k, and missed points can be reclaimed for $300k — but the quest reset mechanic remains frustrating. Sending your Raider on an Expedition wipes all quest progress, and new update quests are increasingly gated behind that progress.
The Headwinds update added quests that require finishing the Stella Montis chain (including chores like Snap and Salvage that hunt rare materials) and what appears to be the Blue Gate questline. As more updates arrive, Expedition players will need to redo more quests each reset, which breeds fatigue.
It would help if unlock requirements were revealed ahead of updates, or if some quests were available from the start like the Stella Montis ones. A vendor-based system with multiple selectable quests could also ease the burden.
