Hello, dear players! With the arrival of a new week, ARC Raiders Trials (April 13 – April 19) are back!
The Riven Tides update is coming soon, and what better way to prepare than by completing a new batch of trials?
Five trials await your challenge each week, each requiring 4000 points to achieve a three-star rating. Earn points by completing trial-related activities, and if you successfully achieve three stars, you'll have a chance to win premium rewards—including ARC Raiders blueprints.
Below is a detailed introduction to each trial, along with the best locations and methods to complete them.
Get Hit by Lightning
This trial is familiar. Players need to be hit by lightning multiple times in Electromagnetic Storm to complete it.
Here's a little trick. Before the lightning strikes, a flashing blue circle will appear on the ground; you can use this to identify the lightning's landing point.
You can load any map under Electromagnetic Storm Map Condition, then stay on the ground and intentionally get struck by lightning. Make sure you carry enough Healing items to withstand multiple shocks. Achieve a three-star score and successfully extract to complete the trial.
Destroy ARC enemies in the Swamp
This trial requires players to roam the swamp part of Dam Battlegrounds and destroy all ARC enemies.
It's worth noting that various ARC enemies will spawn in the swamp; pay special attention to Rocketeers and Leapers, as they are somewhat difficult to deal with.
Unlike last week's trial, there is currently no trial specifically targeting these ARC enemies, so you cannot stack trial progress this time. However, if you want to complete the trial quickly, it's still worth prioritizing these ARC enemies, as they provide the highest score.
Of course, entering Close Scrutiny matches and challenging Vaporizers is also a good option.
You can complete the trial by following these steps:
Under Major Map Condition, enter Dam Battlegrounds. Head to the swamp, primarily Hydroponic Dome Complex.
Destroy Leaper and Rocketeer spawning here, or just one of them and some small ARCs. Earn enough points to achieve three stars to successfully extract.
Damage Bastions
This trial requires players to confront Bastions head-on, one of the deadliest enemies in ARC Raiders.
Bastions can be found on any map in ARC Raiders, but the most common spawn location is at the bottom of Loading Bay in Stella Montis. The abundance of cover there makes it an ideal location to fight Bastions.
You can exploit Bastion's weak points to defeat them: the yellow joints on their legs or the tanks on their backs.
Of course, using heavy weapons like Ferro or Anvil is even better. If you have a Wolfpack, the kills will be even more effective.
However, these aren't the most difficult ARC enemies; save your more expensive gear for more challenging battles.
Search Supply Drops
This trial requires players to explore the map, calling in and searching for multiple Supply Drops.
To generate Supply Drops, you need to search for small Call-In Stations scattered across the map. After requesting a Supply Drop, you need to wait a while until a small pod lands nearby.
You can enter any map under Major Map Condition (except Stella Montis). Then search for a Supply Drop Call-In Station and wait for Supply Drop to arrive.
Once it arrives, start searching for the next Supply Drop Call-In Station.
However, if you want a three-star rating, it's best to do this under Major Map Condition; otherwise, you'll need to search five such loot stations in this trial to achieve three stars.
For now, just search for it, but don't expect to get the best loot. These loot stations are best used to replenish ammo and some consumables.
After achieving three stars, don't forget to successfully extract, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted.
Damage Comets
This trial requires players to kill Comets. Although Comets roll like Fireballs or Pops, don't confuse them. Comets are far more lethal.
Comets roam the surface, are extremely fast and dangerous, and once spotted, they will quickly rush towards you and detonate deadly earthquake bombs, so you need to eliminate them quickly before they get close.
Because of their extreme speed and danger, you need to eliminate them quickly before they get close. It is recommended that you use some ranged weapons; Anvil or Renegade are good choices, allowing you to easily take them out from a distance.
You can load any map except Stella Montis. Explore the surface until you find Comets. Remember to find higher ground to avoid being quickly caught by Comets, then open fire on them.
Kill enough Comets to achieve three stars and successfully extract to complete the trial.
Don't forget to hunt them in Major Map Conditions; this will save you from finding so many Comets.
That concludes ARC Raiders Week 24 Trials. Completing the trials with a three-star rating greatly increases your chances of earning rich loot, which can help you quickly accumulate resources and improve your gameplay. So don't hesitate, go complete the trials!
