The Expedition 3 project is now live in ARC Raiders, and thus begins the next big grind if you want to upgrade your account over the course of the next two months.
Structurally, Expedition 3 is similar to the previous two. There are six different stages to complete, with four tasks at each level. At first, only the first stage will be available for you, along with its requirements.
To view the latter levels, you’ll have to meet the requirements. This guide will provide you with info on every stage and the requirements to finish it.

All ARC Raiders Expedition 3 Project requirements
Just like the first Expeditions, the third has several stages or levels. The sixth stage is the Departure window. It has no extra tasks; complete the previous five stages, and you’ll be ready for Departure.
Stage 1: Foundation
| Item | Req. Quantity | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Parts | 150 | Common loot that you can get as random loot from multiple locations. You can also find the item from Scrappy or by recycling different items. |
| Chemicals | 100 | Common loot that you can get as random loot from multiple locations. You can also find the item from Scrappy or by recycling different items. |
| ARC Alloy | 80 | ARC Alloys can be obtained as random loot or from the salvage of all ARCs. Every ARC once destroyed will reward you with ARC Alloys. Bigger ARCs like the Leaper, Bombardier, etc. will reward you with more ARC Alloy. |
| Steel Spring | 15 | Steel Springs are commonly found in areas tagged as Industrial. I have also found them from broken vehicles (all maps). |
Stage 2: Core Systems
| Item | Req. Quantity | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Durable Cloth | 30 | Durable Cloth is an advanced textile material that can be obtained as random loot. You should look in areas tagged as Residential or Medical areas for better chances. |
| Wires | 25 | Wires are typically found in areas tagged as Industrial and Electrical. Wires can also be obtained by recycling certain materials. |
| Electrical Components | 25 | Electrical Components can be obtained from random locations or by salvaging destroyed ARCs. Electrical Components can also be crafted at a Refinery. |
| Industrial Charger | 3 | Industrial Chargers are Rare loot items found in areas tagged as Electrical. You can also recycle the Voltage converter to get an Industrial Charger. |

When will the Expedition 3 project window expire
Based on the available countdown, the Expedition 3 project window will expire on May 3. The opening window should be available about 4-5 days prior to May 3, but that has to be confirmed by Embark. The rewards for completing the third Expedition will be announced in the future (highly likely with the April update).
