6 days left. Most Raiders aren't prepared. They lack enough ARC Raiders Coins, essential items, and many players are still struggling. Are you one of them? Drop a comment below — "Ready" or "Not ready" — let's see how the community is doing.

1.💡 Wait… Should You Even Wipe?

Quick gut check — pick your situation:

- 😰 "I haven't started the Caravan yet" → Start NOW. You still have time.

- 😅 "I'm stuck on Stage 3" → Read the farming section below. It's fixable.

- 😎 "I'm almost done" → Skip to the Final Week Warning. Don't get ambushed.

Your gear disappears — but Skill Points, Stash slots, and cosmetics stay forever. Every Expedition you complete makes the next one easier. Skip it and you're just falling behind.

2. 📦 What Do You Need? (Honest Stage Breakdown)

Stages 1–2— Stack 80 ARC Alloys + 30 Electrical Components. Boring but fast.

Stage 3 — 30 Batteries + 1 Exodus Module. That Module is rare. This is the wall that kills most people's Expeditions. Don't panic — see the farm routes below.

Stage 4 — Advanced Electrical Components + Leaper Pulse Units. These only drop from ARC enemies, so stop looting random crates.

Stage 5 — The monster. You need to donate 250K Coins in Combat Items, 100K in Survival, and 300K in Raw Materials. 

>  Hot take: Most players fail Stage 5 not from lack of coins — but from waiting too long to start selling. Don't be that Raider.

3. 🗺️ Only Two Spots Matter — Where Are You Farming Right Now?

Pilgrims Peak – Blue Gate → Stages 1–2 goldmine. Dense containers, fast loops. In and out.

Buried City – Research Labs → Stage 3+ only. Wall heaters + electronics lockers = Batteries on repeat.

Running solo? Secure pouch your Exodus Module and Leaper Pulse Units. Every. Single. Run. You keep them even if you die.

Running squads? Two players pull Leaper aggro, one dismantles the weak points, Blaze Grenade to close. Fast and clean.

4. ⚠️ Serious Warning: Don't Touch Topside After June 19

The last 7 days before a wipe = full chaos. Gear is wiping anyway, so squads stop looting and start hunting YOU. Extraction zones turn into deathtraps. If you haven't cleared Stage 5 by June 19, every run becomes a gamble. Farm now. Sell now. Buy ARC Raiders Items now. Don't wait.

5. ✅ Pre-Login Checklist — Tick These Off Before You Drop In

☐ Secure pouch loaded with rare drops only

☐ Spare weapons listed for sale (fund that Stage 5)

☐ Farming route locked in — Pilgrims Peak or Buried City

☐ Stage 5 coin target tracked

☐ Still short on materials? [Grab them here and skip the grind →]

6. 👥 Which Raider Are You?

"I'm new and confused" → The wipe is worth it. Trust the process, follow this guide.

"I'm mid-grind and behind" → Hit Buried City Labs today. Exodus Module is your only bottleneck.

"I'm busy and can't grind" → You don't have to. Materials are one click away.

The window opens June 22. Your Caravan won't build itself.
