Overview
- Embark will open Expedition sign‑ups on December 17 and close them on December 22, with all registered players departing together when the window ends.
- Eligibility requires level 20 and opting in resets skill tree, level, stash, workshop, crafting and blueprints, with onboarding skipped and, as reported, completed quests and unlocked maps retained.
- Permanent rewards include the Patchwork Raider outfit, Scrappy Janitor Cap, an Expeditions Indicator icon, and +12 stash slots; temporary buffs grant 10% repair, 5% XP, and 6% extra Scrappy materials and will expire if you skip the next expedition, with scaling over the next three expeditions and one departure per window.
- Departing Raiders can earn up to five extra skill points based on combined stash and coin value at departure—one point per one million coins—calculated when the window closes.
- Community coverage notes backlash over perceived stingy bonuses and reports of players hoarding low‑level gear to protect stash value, with complaints that checking total stash value requires awkward manual multi‑select steps.
