ARC Raiders: How to Complete the Damage ARC using a Deadline Trial

ARC Raiders Season 5 Week 2 trials are live now. For this week's trials, players need to damage ARCs using a Deadline. Here's a guide on how to complete this trial in no time.

Trials have been a major endgame grind for players in ARC Raiders. Every week the trials refresh with new challenges players must complete to earn points and progress through the ranks in the game.

With the recent update, Embark has reworked the trials system with more streamlined and innovative challenges. One of these new trials is the "Damage ARCs using a single Deadline." Here's a guide on how to get the highest points in this challenge.

How to Complete the Damage ARCs using a Single Deadline Trial in ARC Raiders

While the new trial might seem like a very straightforward challenge to complete, there is a big catch here. Most players will fail to notice that the trial requires you to damage ARCs with "a single deadline mine".

The emphasis on a single Deadline means that players must use 1 Deadline mine to deal as much damage as possible on any ARC enemy or other raiders.

From my take on the trial, I have found out that the best method for getting the highest score in this trial is using a single Deadline mine on any large ground ARC enemy, excluding the Queen and Matriarch.

As most players might know, deadline mines are excellent in taking down Bastions and Bombardiers. So, for this trial you can focus on using a single deadline mine on either of these ARCs. Aside from that, you can also complete the challenge by hitting the boss ARCs (Queen and Matriarch) in their cores with a Deadline mine.

However, you will get the highest points in this trial by sticking with either a Bastion or Bombardier with a Deadline mine, as they have much less mobility compared to other large ground ARCs.
