ARC Raiders Player Offers Detailed Guide for Reaching 5 Million Stash Value Before Expedition Wipe

Players who have been stressing about hitting the 5 million stash value to obtain the maximum number of bonus skill points offered by ARC Raiders‘ first Expedition wipe can rest at ease, as one super helpful player recently created a detailed guide on how even casuals can accomplish that. In a recent Reddit post by user pRoDeeD, the player offered up the guide as a downloadable PDF, with the post itself featuring images and a list of what is included in the guide. While other players can download the guide for free, pRoDeeD still gives them an opportunity to donate toward their cause of continuing to create valuable walkthroughs for the ARC Raiders community.

This isn’t the first guide created and offered by pRoDeeD, as their previous efforts include guides on what to sell and recycle in ARC Raiders, where to use every keycard, and what loot to keep for quests and workshop upgrades. In the weeks since ARC Raiders‘ launch, the player has become renowned on the game’s subreddit for their helpful tips and the amount of work they put into making each guide. However, their latest guide might be one of their most essential yet, as ARC Raiders‘ recent Expedition rewards reveal had many players up in arms about the cost of its bonus skill points.

ARC Raiders’ Bonus Expedition Skill Points Have Caused Quite a Stir

It has always been known that the number of bonus skill points players receive from ARC Raiders‘ optional Expedition wipe would be tied to the total value of items in their stash, Coins included. It wasn’t until somewhat recently, though, that Embark revealed it would take a whopping 5,000,000 Coins-worth of stash value for players to be granted the maximum number of 5 bonus skill points being offered—for a total of 1 skill point per 1,000,000 stash value. By hoarding some of ARC Raiders‘ most valuable items, then, players can get closer to acquiring every bonus skill point available when the first Expedition wipe occurs.

Naturally, this has led to players, who regard those bonus skill points as worth it, scrambling for unique (and even exploitative) ways to acquire such wealth before ARC Raiders‘ first Expedition wipe on December 22, 2025. The only problem is that obtaining that amount of stash value in the game—and in such a short amount of time, no less—is far from an easy task, especially with the threat of PvP looming over players’ heads and whether they find the most valuable loot ultimately coming down to RNG. However, thanks to pRoDeeD, there may be hope for them yet.

pRoDeeD’s Guide Helps Players Increase Their Stash Value to 5 Million Before ARC Raiders’ Expedition Wipe

According to pRoDeeD’s guide for reaching 5 million stash value before the first Expedition wipe, the best way for players to do so is to keep an eye out for the Lush Bloom event and then run “basket routes” on the map where the event is active. Each basket offers around 10,000 Coins-worth of items, and if players do it right, they can earn up to 600,000 Coins per hour by staying in the marked area of pRoDeeD’s provided map and extracting as soon as they finish the loop. Once the event is over, players then switch to ARC Raiders‘ Stella Montis map, where they loot the containers in the areas pRoDeeD has circled before extracting.

Here is pRoDeeD’s ARC Raiders 5 million stash value method in a nutshell:

• Do ARC Raiders‘ Lush Bloom event
• Run marked basket routes
• Extract and repeat until Lush Bloom ends
• Run marked Stella Montis container routes
• Extract and repeat until next Lush Bloom event

There are some caveats to this method, however, as comments mention that ARC Raiders‘ Lush Bloom basket routes are generally crawling with players, which can either result in PvP encounters or empty baskets. That being said, the idea behind pRoDeeD’s method involves getting in and out of a round as quickly as possible for maximum efficiency, and even if that doesn’t net players the intended 600,000 Coins per hour, it seems to be one of the most effective methods out there.

For ARC Raiders players unsure how to reach five million before the reset, pRoDeeD’s guide offers a straightforward plan that brings the goal back within reach. It may be the break many needed as the Expedition wipe draws near if they manage to avoid every other player who will likely be taking advantage of pRoDeeD’s efforts as well.
