With Arc Raiders’ first Expedition Project departure looming (December 17-22, 2025), knowing your exact stash value has become crucial. Every million coins translates to bonus skill points for your next raider—but Embark Studios didn’t make checking this number easy. Here’s how to see what you’re really worth.

Why Stash Value Suddenly Matters
Expedition Projects are Arc Raiders’ unique take on seasonal wipes. Instead of losing everything with nothing to show for it, your accumulated wealth directly determines your next character’s starting advantages. The reward structure is straightforward: one million coins worth of stash = one bonus skill point, maxing out at five million for five extra points.
This system has sparked intense debate within the community, with many players feeling the grind-to-reward ratio isn’t worth it. Regardless, if you’re participating in the December Expedition, knowing where you stand is essential.

Method 1: The Manual Selection Route (Console & PC)
This is currently the only legitimate in-game method available to all players:
- Open your stash in Arc Raiders
- Multi-select every item – Hold CTRL and click each item on PC, or hold LT/L2 and press A/X on each item for console
- Right-click (or press options button) to open the contextual menu
- Select “Sell” – Don’t actually sell! Just open the sell tab
- Check the total value displayed at the bottom
Important: With 280 possible stash slots, this method is tedious. One accidental click could sell your entire inventory, so proceed carefully. The value shown includes only stash items—your equipped gear doesn’t count, and blueprints contribute zero value despite taking up space.
Method 2: The Windows Date Trick (PC Only)
Discovered by clever players on Reddit, this workaround lets you see your stash value instantly by accessing the Expedition screen early:
- Launch Arc Raiders but stay at the main menu
- Open Windows Settings → Time & Language → Date & Time
- Disable automatic time sync
- Change your system date to December 18, 2025, or later
- Return to the game (no restart needed)
- Navigate to Raider > Projects > Expedition Project
- Your complete stash value now displays on screen, according to Destructoid.
Remember: Turn automatic time back on afterward! Leaving your system date changed can cause syncing issues with other applications and games.
This method reveals your total value including coins but excluding equipped items—exactly what determines your Expedition rewards.

What Counts Toward Your Stash Value?
Understanding what actually contributes to your million-coin milestones helps optimize your grinding strategy:
Included:
- All items stored in your stash
- Your current coin balance
- Weapons, armor, consumables at their sell value
Excluded:
- Currently equipped gear
- Blueprints (they occupy stash slots but have zero value)
- Items in your active loadout
The Controversial Meta Shift: Many players now refuse to use high-tier gear in matches, hoarding everything valuable instead. This has created a “level 1 gear meta” that frustrates the community—the very opposite of what should happen before a wipe.
FAQs
Q: Do I need exactly 5 million coins for maximum Expedition rewards in Arc Raiders?
A: Yes, you need at least 5 million coins worth of combined stash value (items + cash) to receive the maximum 5 bonus skill points for your next raider. Each million-coin threshold awards one skill point, so having 2.8 million would only give you 2 skill points. The Expedition window opens December 17-22, 2025, giving you limited time to reach your target value. Many players are debating whether the grind is worth the relatively modest rewards.
Q: Why doesn’t Arc Raiders show stash value automatically like other games?
A: Embark Studios hasn’t implemented a direct stash value display yet, requiring players to use workarounds like multi-selecting all items or changing system dates to see the Expedition screen early. The development team will likely add an official value counter once Expeditions become a regular feature. For now, the manual methods or Windows date trick (PC only) are your only options. Console players must manually select all 280 potential stash slots to see their total value.
