The Only ARC Raiders Expedition 2 Guide You Need: Every Item and Step Covered

If you missed the first ARC Raiders Expedition, no worries — Expedition 2 is live and it works the same way: five stages, each with a shopping list that eventually gets you a wagon strong enough to push past the Rust Belt. Finish the lot and you can line up for the Expedition, with the account reset for this one currently slated for February 2026. Yes, 2026 — they are giving you a long runway.

What you are actually building (and why)

This run is all about assembling a caravan/wagon piece by piece. Early stages are the bones and wiring; the back half is systems, storage, and a final stock-up sprint. Complete every step and you unlock the right to embark — plus the reset window mentioned above.

The five build stages you have to clear

1. Stage 1 — Foundation: You are putting down the core frame of the wagon. Required items: x150 Metal Parts, x200 Plastic Parts, x80 ARC Alloy, x15 Steel Spring.
2. Stage 2 — Systems: Time to lay in the guts — wiring, ventilation, power. Required items: x35 Durable Cloth, x25 Wires, x20 Electrical Components, x5 Cooling.
3. Stage 3 — Structure and internals: Walls, roof, and the main interior take shape. Required items: x4 Light Bulb, x30 Battery, x10 Shredder Gyro, x1 Exodus Modules.
4. Stage 4 — Outfitting: Storage, personal upgrades, and workbenches so the trip does not break you. Required items: x5 Frequency Modulation Box, x5 Advanced Electrical Components, x3 Ion Sputter, x3 Leaper Pulse Unit.
5. Stage 5 — Stockpile by selling: You are funding the run by selling enough gear into four buckets. Hit these totals: Combat Items — sell 200,000 coins' worth; Survival Items — sell 100,000 coins' worth; Provisions — sell 180,000 coins' worth; Materials — sell 300,000 coins' worth.

So, is the reset worth it?

If you commit, you are signing up for a major account shake-up when the Expedition 2 reset hits. You will lose access to unlocked maps, exploration progress, discovered Workshop Stations, and a handful of other comforts — so do not push the button lightly.

On the upside, clearing this project can pump your account full of XP, unlock exclusive cosmetics, and grant useful long-term perks like faster weapon repairs, more stash space, and permanent account unlocks. If you are the type who likes a clean slate with bonuses baked in, it is a solid trade. If losing your map progress makes your eye twitch, maybe sleep on it first.

Bottom line: wrap the five stages, you can go on the Expedition; the associated progress reset is aimed for February 2026. Plan your grind — and your goodbye to the old save — accordingly.
