Embark Studios just dropped the update patch notes for the Fourth Expedition, and they are completely changing how rewards and progression work in ARC Raiders. In this video, we're breaking down exactly why these changes feel like a massive step backward for the core gameplay loop. From pulling permanent Skill Points out of the challenge rewards to introducing Blueprints as rewards, this new "Mystery Reward" structure is going to hurt the long-term grind for veteran and casual raiders alike. What do you think of these progression tweaks? Let me know down in the comments if you think Embark is moving in the wrong direction with this one!
