The Expedition Vault is disabled in Arc Raiders: its contents moved to the regular stash, and purchased slots were refunded as Bronze Statuettes. While planning around the lost vault space, ARC Raiders Items may be useful to review alongside your current inventory.

Make room for project rewards

The change puts extracted materials and project rewards in the same stash. Before claiming the Offering Display Table or Pilgrim Backpack, clear duplicate furniture designs and other items you do not need for an upcoming run.

Open the Projects tab and check the current stage's material counts before choosing a map. After completing a stage, check the project reward and your stash before starting another raid; the source material does not specify a confirmation message or button change.

A full stash can interfere with a reward claim, so do not wait until the last rooftop run to sort it. A practical rhythm is one cleanup after every three project raids, with another check immediately before the final claim.

Use the remaining Souls Offering window

The supplied patch details place Souls Offering in the 2.3.0 window, with most trackers pointing to November 16, 2026. Check the Projects tab for the cutoff shown in your game rather than treating that date as a guaranteed local deadline.

The project requires materials across Buried City, Dam, and Spaceport. Match each run to the outstanding counts instead of carrying parts for stages you have already finished. Dead Flowers, Rock Salt, ARC Alloy, and respirator parts are among the early-stage materials mentioned in the patch details.

For later rooftop work in Buried City, keep one Firework Box available after stage three. Spending every box in unrelated fights can force another crafting cycle before the final objective at Santa Maria Houses.

Carry a kit suited to interior routes

Flame Spray deals 13 damage per second after the 2.3.0 change, up from 10, and its durability drain was cut in half. Pair it with Heavy Shield for building interiors and stairwell approaches; the shield's base charge increased from 80 to 90.

Firefly Burner ignites on impact and leaves a short fire trail before its delayed blast. Save one for the rooftop approach instead of using both during early Dam loops. Keep an Adrenaline Shot for the final attempt: it can be used at maximum stamina and refreshes its duration rather than stacking it.

When only a few common project parts remain, consider a deeper Frigate route during the same session. The supplied patch details say its deeper containers pay better than entrance-only Emperor sweeps after the loot change. Blueprint drops remain random, so do not leave a nearly finished stage to chase a single rumored drop.

Keep Noxious separate from project progress

The Noxious set is a store cosmetic, not a Souls Offering stage reward. Owning or wearing it does not replace the material requirements shown in Projects, and the supplied details do not establish a hidden set bonus.

Prioritize the project if the Pilgrim Backpack or attachment rewards are your goal. The backpack adds carry capacity, but that capacity is less useful when the regular stash has no room for the next extract.

Before your next raid, open Projects, record the remaining materials, and clear enough stash space for the reward you intend to claim. If you choose to buy ARC Items, check your existing inventory first so the purchase does not add another duplicate to a crowded stash.
