The Weekly Trials in ARC Raiders are a great way to earn rewards as you play and complete specific objectives while you’re on the hunt for loot. These objectives change once a week, as do the rewards. This page shares with you everything you need to know about the Weekly Trials and the best way to earn rank points and rewards.
How Weekly Trials Work in ARC Raiders
There are five trials for you to work on each week. The activities have a score, and you can earn points by completing activities related to that task whenever you’re out on a map. You can review them by visiting the Raider tab and then going to the Trials icon underneath your character at the center.
The five tasks have a reward associated with them that you can get at least once a week. You need to score a certain number of points during a match to unlock the reward. You don’t have to do the tasks during the exact game, but you need to reach a high enough score during a single match on a particular task.
If you are playing on a map with primary conditions, such as a Night Raid, you’ll earn twice as many points. You might want to seek out these maps to score the highest points. However, you only earn them if you successfully extract. If you die before you can return, none of the points you earned count toward your new score.
All Trials (Week 5) Objectives in ARC Raiders
These are the Week 5 Trials that you’ll need to work on if you want to earn additional rewards from your extraction missions.
- Damage Rocketeers: Rocketeers are a fearsome enemy. These are heavily armored flying ARCs, larger than the Hornets. You’ll want to use a weapon that has Heavy ammunition, or use a Wolfpack, to make short work of them. If you can’t take these enemies immediately, they can be challenging to fight against.
- Download data during Hidden Bunker: After the Hidden Bunker is opened up, head down into the underground area and download from the computers. These computers require you to turn them on and then stand near them to get the data. There are eight computers in total.
- Search First Wave husks: First Wave husks are the large, broken-down ARCs you find throughout a map. You’ll need to breach them and then search them for this objective to count toward your total.
- Damaged Snitches: Snitches are the flying scanners that do not attack you. However, if they see you, they’ll call in reinforcements. You want to defeat them quickly to count toward this objective and to prevent additional ARCs from arriving.
- Damage ground-based ARC enemies: For this objective, you want to defeat Pops, Fireballs, Ticks, Turrets, Leapers, Bastions, Bombardier, Sentinels, Queens, and Matriarchs. These are all ground-based ARCs that you can find while playing ARC Raiders.
Tips and Tricks For Completing Week 5 Trials in ARC Raiders
- Focus on a single objective at a time. You don’t want to be busy working on multiple tasks that you spend too much time on, and get downed by another player, or you can’t extract.
- Choose the non-combat objectives to do on complex maps, such as Night Raids or during Electromagnetic Storms.
- The Hullcracker is a good way to deal heavy damage to all ARCs, along with the Wolfpack grenade. These are worthwhile choices if you’re looking to defeat multiple ARCs during a single run or want to try your hand at taking out the larger enemies.
- The Hidden Bunker has some of the best spawns for the larger ARCs, such as Rocketeers, Bastions, and Leapers. Additionally, most players are trying to work together. This is a good way to earn multiple points for taking out the larger ARCs.
- The Spaceport is an excellent way to earn the First Wave husk spawns. These are always appearing on the map, and these are where you can find the most of them. After that, it’s the Dam Battlegrounds map. These are the two locations you want to visit for this Trial.
- Snitches are found throughout all the maps, except for Stella Montis. We recommend going with Spaceport as it has the most open space, or you can try Dam Battlegrounds. The other two, The Blue Gate and Buried City, are a bit too close-quarters and have a high chance of other players attempting to ambush you when they see you’re hunting Snitches.
