Even though the second Expedition Window has slammed shut in ARC Raiders, the third Expedition Window is already looming overhead. The Rust Belt may be filled with freshly wiped accounts, but it’s never too early to start looking ahead towards the next wipe.
Of course, you don’t have to reset, but Embark Studios is actively working to improve the rewards and requirements in an effort to make the decision more appealing. By the time the third Expedition Window opens, it might be a no-brainer to wipe your account, so you’ll want to make sure you’re prepared.
Completing the Project is no quick and easy feat, so it’s best to get a head start. With that in mind, here’s when the third Expedition Window will open in ARC Raiders, and what you’ll need to complete the Project.
When Is ARC Raiders’ Third Expedition Window?
The third Expedition Window will open 58 days after the second one closed, so on April 29, 2026, meaning you’ve got until the end of April to complete the Expedition Project.
That’s almost two months from when the Project first becomes available, and if you didn’t complete the previous Expedition, you’ll still have whatever progress you made towards it saved from before. You can find the live countdown when you preview the Project in-game, so you can always stay up to date.

Once the Expedition Window has opened, raiders typically have around four to five days to confirm their departure. At this moment in time, Embark Studios hasn’t confirmed the dates yet, but assuming it sticks to the same schedule, expect the wipe to happen around May 3, 2026.
It might seem like that’s a lot of time to complete the Expedition Project, but be warned, you’ll need a lot of different resources if you want to finish it in time. It’s best to start sooner rather than later, as you might wind up missing the wipe and regretting it.
