## Key points

- Arc Raiders had a bug automatically enrolling players in the fourth Expedition after completing a 100K damage challenge without their consent
- Developer Embark is reverting unwanted sign-ups in waves beginning July 17, advising players to verify their Expedition status

## Summary

Arc Raiders players were being unwillingly enrolled in the upcoming fourth Expedition after completing the 100K damage challenge. Expedition participation requires committing to a seasonal reset with a fresh character and inventory—a significant time investment that many players do not want to undertake, making this unintended auto-enrolment particularly problematic.

Embark quickly moved to correct the issue, announcing that they would systematically revert automatic sign-ups for affected players starting Friday, July 17, 2026, with the process rolling out in multiple stages. The developer recommended players manually verify their Expedition status through the in-game interface to confirm the correction had been applied.
