Is PGR Expedition Supply Worth It? How the S-Rank Selector Pool Works
By Sir Ayup
An extra S-Rank Omniframe is always tempting, but the one in this version does not come free. Expedition Supply is a limited research pool in Punishing: Gray Raven whose top prize is an S-Rank selector, and the price of each draw climbs the further you go. At gamemarket.gg, we break down how the pool works, what every layer gives, how many tickets it really takes and who it is worth it for. Should you spend on it, or save for something else?
When Does Expedition Supply Run?
Expedition Supply opens on November 12, 2026, at 10:00 (UTC), which is 17:00 WIB, and closes on December 16, 2026, at 23:00 (UTC), or 06:00 WIB on December 17. It arrives with the second wave of events in the A Comet's Afterglow version, alongside Dreamscape Disequilibrium. Our version overview has the full event schedule.
How Expedition Supply Works
Expedition Supply is a separate research pool, not a free gift. It uses its own currency, Expedition R&D Tickets, which you get by exchanging tickets you already have:
- Event Construct R&D Tickets or Target Weapon R&D Tickets convert into Expedition R&D Tickets at a 1:1 ratio
- Both of those can be bought with Black Cards, also at 1:1
There are 10 draws in total, and every draw costs more than the last:
- Draws 1 to 5: 50, 200, 400, 600 and 800 tickets
- Draws 6 to 10: 1,200, 1,600, 2,000, 2,500 and 3,150 tickets
Every reward can only be drawn once, so each draw removes one item from the pool and you never get duplicates. The pool also does not share pity with any other Construct banner, and progress here does not carry over anywhere else.
What You Can Get From Expedition Supply
The rewards are split into layers:
- Core Layer: S-Rank Omniframe Choice Pack x1, which lets you pick one S-Rank Omniframe released up to Selena: Pianissimo
- 1st Layer: 6-star Weapon Resonance Material x2 and an S-Rank CUB Choice up to Snow Waltz, the CUB recommended for Selena: Pianissimo
- 2nd Layer: Trade Voucher x2,000, Phantom Pain Scar x50, Hypertune Material Pack x3, 6-star Memory Resonance Material Pick x2, Coating Blueprint x20 and Cog Pack (XXL) x6
- Extra Reward: an A-Rank CUB Choice for completing 8 draws
The S-Rank Choice Pack can appear from the 5th draw onward, and the 10th draw guarantees it if it has not shown up yet.
How Many Tickets Does It Really Cost?
The rising price is what decides how far you go. Here is the running total:
- Up to the 5th draw, the first chance at the S-Rank: 2,050 tickets
- Up to the 8th draw, the A-Rank CUB bonus: 6,850 tickets
- All 10 draws, the guaranteed S-Rank: 12,500 tickets
12,500 tickets equals 12,500 Black Cards, which is the same as about 50 regular pulls on a Construct banner. The first few draws are cheap, but the last two alone cost more than the first seven combined.
That makes luck a big part of the value. If the Choice Pack drops on your 5th or 6th draw, you get an S-Rank for a fraction of the full price. If it waits until the end, you pay the full 12,500.
Who Can You Pick?
The Choice Pack covers S-Rank Omniframes up to Selena: Pianissimo, an S-Rank Physical Attacker and the newest option in the pack. The 1st Layer CUB Choice also goes up to Snow Waltz, her recommended CUB, so the pool is clearly built with her in mind. If you want Selena: Pianissimo with her CUB, this is one of the more direct ways to get both.
Newer Omniframes are not part of the pack, including the current banner unit Leia: Fortunaster. The full list of choices is shown in the Choice Pack's details in game, so check it before you exchange any tickets.
If Selena: Pianissimo is not on your list, the best pick is usually the one that fills a gap in your roster. A strong unit for an element you cannot field yet adds more to your account than another unit for a team you already run.
Is Expedition Supply Worth It?
It depends on what you are saving for.
- It competes with Leia: Fortunaster. Expedition Supply eats the same Event Construct tickets you would use on the current banner, so every ticket here is one less for the new unit
- It suits players who are missing older S-Ranks. For a newer account, an S-Rank, an S-Rank CUB and a pile of upgrade materials in one place is good value
- Stopping early is an option. Once the Choice Pack is out, the remaining draws only give materials at the highest prices, so weigh them against your other plans
- Exchange only what you will spend. Any Expedition R&D Tickets left when the event ends become Basic Construct R&D Tickets at 1:1, which are far less useful
If you just cleared the free Adelyde from Anchored in Faith or are still building Karenina: Effulgence, it is worth checking whether your next team needs a new S-Rank or more materials before you commit.
Plan Your Tickets Before You Draw
Expedition Supply is a good deal when the S-Rank you want is in the pack and the luck is on your side, and an expensive one when it is not. Decide on your target, set a stopping point and keep enough tickets for the banners you care about more. You have until December 16, so there is no need to rush on day one.
