Sending a raider on an expedition to ARC Raiders This is no easy feat, as it requires players to collect or craft a substantial amount of resources and then transfer them to the game before they are eligible to move into a game. It's not just the time it takes to collect said resources that makes it difficult either, as committing to a campaign means players will lose almost everything once the six-day window closes. For some players, this required work may not be worth it, while others may think otherwise.
