Are ARC Raiders’ Bonus Expedition Skill Points Even Worth the Cost?

Embark finally provided concrete numbers for the various bonuses players will get from sending their Raider on an Expedition in ARC Raiders, and while I’m glad to now have a better idea of what I’ll be getting, the news wasn’t all good. In a recent blog post, as shared on the official ARC Raiders X account, the developer announced that the game’s first Expedition would be delayed by a couple of days. That part was already hard enough for me to hear, since I’ve been waiting for the wipe to arrive so I can see what it’s like to start a new Raider with the buffs and bonuses I’ll get for participating in the Expedition. However, it was when I read just how much my stash would need to be worth in order to get the maximum number of bonus skill points for my next character that I felt a bit demoralized.
