Overview
- Sign-ups open December 17 at 5 a.m. ET and close December 22, with all registered players departing simultaneously when the window ends.
- Eligibility requires level 20, only one departure is allowed per window, buffs stack across up to three expeditions, and they lapse if you skip the next one.
- Restarting wipes your skill tree, level, stash, workshop, crafting abilities, and blueprints, but onboarding is skipped so maps and workshop upgrades are available immediately.
- Permanent rewards include +12 stash slots, a Patchwork Raider outfit, a Scrappy Janitor Cap, and an Expeditions Indicator, with temporary account buffs of 10% repair, 5% XP, and 6% extra materials at the start of next season.
- Bonus skill points are granted at one per one million coins of combined stash and coin value, capped at five and tallied at window close, while non-participants keep Caravan progress and some players criticize the rewards as modest and hoard-inducing.
