Hello, dear players! It's been a week since Flashpoint update went live. Completing the new weekly trials is the best way to experience the new version's content and quickly earn rewards. Trial tasks and corresponding rewards refresh weekly, preparing you for the new ARC gameplay while also providing a stable source of extra loot.
There are five trials each week, each requiring 4000 points to achieve three stars. Completing the corresponding tasks will earn you points, and achieving three stars also greatly increases your chances of obtaining rare rewards such as ARC Raiders blueprints.
This trial will run from April 6th to April 13th, 2026. Don't forget to complete the trials under major map conditions to earn double points.
The following will explain the characteristics of each trial in detail, along with some methods and tips for completing them.
Damage ARC Enemies in Old Town
This trial takes place in Old Town in Buried City. Old Town is quite large, and various ARCs will spawn there. Players need to engage as many ARC enemies as possible. Once you've dealt enough damage to achieve three stars, you can successfully retreat.
Here's a way to kill multiple enemies at once: under Close Scrutiny major map condition, players can choose to shoot both Wasps and Vaporizers in the same location. This saves time and allows you to complete multiple trials at once. Note that Vaporizers are a newly added ARC enemy, which will be mentioned again in the following trials.
However, if you don't want to engage Vaporizers for now, simply bring your heavy weapon and ensure you have cover, as enemy raiders may not appear in the trial. During map conditions such as Night Raid or Hurricane, a large number of ARC enemies will also spawn in this area.
Disarm Mines During Locked Gate
In this trial, players need to enter The Blue Gate under Locked Gate major map condition and search for mines on the ground. When you find them, you'll hear a slight clinking sound or locate them by their red lights. Approach the mines and defuse them; defusing enough mines will allow you to successfully evacuate.
These mines are hidden throughout the map. To get three stars, players need to find and defuse 14 mines, each worth 300 points. The mountains near Pilgrim's Peak or Reinforced Reception and its surroundings are good search locations.
It's worth noting that players should bring plenty of healing items, as it's easy to accidentally step on a mine. Players only need to approach the mines, but avoid being blown up.
Search Raider Caches
Compared to other trials, this trial can be completed under one of two map conditions, making it relatively easier.
Besides Stella Montis, players can easily find Raider Caches on any map. They appear directly on the surface, and there are numerous spawn points on each map, so players should carefully check each spawn point and pay attention to their unique humming sounds.
Dam Battlegrounds and Buried City have the highest Raider Cache spawn rate, making them the best maps to search. If you have to choose one map, Dam Battlegrounds is a good option as it has the highest Raider Cache spawn rate. Spaceport and The Blue Gate are also good search choices.
Search every Raider Cache you find, remembering to plan your route in advance to maximize efficiency. Once you get three stars, you can withdraw.
While you can complete this trial under Uncovered Caches minor map condition, it's best to do it under Hurricane map condition to obtain the new Canto SMG Blueprint. This not only yields better loot from Raider Caches but also doubles your trial points.
Damage Wasps
This trial is very simple; just shoot enough wasps. Players can easily find them on any map.
The Blue Gate is very large, and this open map allows players to spot them from a great distance, making it potentially the best choice for getting three stars.
Of course, it's best to avoid direct confrontations with them in open areas, as that can be tricky. The easiest way is for players to take the initiative and shoot them down directly. Use a ranged weapon like Osprey or Renegade to initiate the assault and then shoot down all Wasps you can find.
Killing a sufficient number of Wasps will allow for a successful extraction.
Damage Vaporizers
This is the hardest challenge of the week! Players must defeat the new ARC enemy–Vaporizers.
These flying tanks were introduced after Flashpoint update. They only appear in Close Scrutiny major map condition and will circle around and protect Assessors.
Furthermore, Vaporizers possess heavy armor and laser beams, making them extremely difficult to shoot down. Combined with their occasional appearance in groups, Vaporizers may have already replaced Rocketeers as the deadliest ARC aircraft in the game.
Players can find and defeat them by following these steps: Load any map in Close Scrutiny. Locate Assessors and Vaporizers by following the red beams of light in the sky. Find cover and fight Vaporizers. Deal enough damage to successfully escape and earn three stars.
That concludes ARC Raiders Week 23 Trials guide. Go complete the trials and get three stars to earn tons of loot, and you might even get some super rare blueprints. Enjoy the game!
