The Arc Raiders Shrouded Sky update is February's installment on the roadmap that Embark Studios published last month, and it's the chunkiest one there in terms of the sheer quantity and variety of new content we're getting. It follows Headwinds in January, which added things like the Trophy Display project and the Bird City map condition, while Flashpoint will come in March, followed by Riven Tides in April. This is all part of an overarching group of Arc Raidersupdates called Escalation.

Arc Raidersexpeditions are a somewhat confusing prospect, because they take a lot of effort to complete, and while you do get some decent rewards, you'd be forgiven for thinking it isn't worth doing. You sacrifice basically all of your progress thus far, including stash, skills, workshop upgrades, and more, in order to start from scratch.
