Global Expedition Guide
What Is Global Expedition?
Global Expedition is a new PvE game mode introduced in Season 6. It is the primary free source of named Awakening Shards — the resource required to Awaken Kimberly, DVA, and Tesla this season.
Season 6 has two completely different "Expedition" features running on similar schedules — and the community frequently confuses them:
- Global Expedition (this guide) — PvE auto-battle, three rounds opening Weeks 2 / 4 / 6, each lasting ~14 days. Rewards named Awakening Shards. Solo activity, no PvP.
- Warzone Expedition — PvP cross-warzone mode starting Week 3. Outpost construction in enemy warzones, fortress and city captures, daily caps of 2 city declarations + 2 fortress captures. Different rewards, different time commitment, different alliance coordination requirements.
If you're looking for the PvP outpost-and-fortress mode, that's a separate feature — this guide covers the PvE Awakening-shard side only.
Global Expedition sits alongside the paid Battle Pass as your Awakening shard source:
If you want your Awakening shards as a free-to-play player, Global Expedition is not optional. Awakening requires 50 named shards per hero. You must clear every available Global Expedition stage in Weeks 2, 4, and 6 to accumulate enough free shards for even one Awakening. Miss a week and you fall behind.
