ARC Raiders is a newly released extraction shooter from Embark Studios. The game is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X.
As you progress through the levels in ARC Raiders, you slowly unlock features like the Trials, which are in-game point-based weekly challenges that are refreshed every week. By earning three stars and points in these challenges, you can climb through the ranks to earn exclusive rewards.
Each week Embark adds a new set of challenges for players to complete and climb up their leaderboards. The Season 2 Week 6 trials are live now, and here's a comprehensive guide on how to earn 3 stars in this week's trials.
What are Trials in ARC Raiders?
Trials is the unofficial rank system in ARC Raiders, which is unlocked at player level 15. Once unlocked, players have to earn points by completing challenges every week and climb up the leaderboards. By earning stars, players can earn exclusive rewards.
The challenges are usually divided into three stages, which are marked by stars. By earning points you can get stars, and each challenge has a limit of 3 stars. For each star, players get a reward, with a total of three rewards for completing a challenge.
By earning points you can earn a position in the leaderboard of 100 players in the same rank. Getting into the top 20 of the leaderboard will earn you a 2x promotion to the next ranks. With 1x promotion allocated for the next 30 positions. The bottom 20 players of the leaderboard are demoted to the previous rank.
How to Get 3 Stars in Season 2 Week 6 Trials in ARC Raiders
Like every week, this week's trials have five challenges players must complete to climb up the leaderboard. These challenges are quite easy, but you have to follow some simple strategies to effectively finish them without wasting your important resources. Here's an in-depth guide on how to get 3 stars in Season 2 Week 6 trials in ARC Raiders:
Damage Bastions
The first challenge for this week is damaging Bastions. To complete this challenge, you'll need to take out at least one Bastion entirely. The first method to complete this challenge is by playing Hidden Bunker. Take at least 3 wolfpacks and use them on the Bastion to instantly take it out. There are two Bastions in Hidden Bunker, one near the Departure building entrance of the bunker and another one at the end part of the Fuel Line in Spaceport. You will get around 4200 points for taking out one single Bastion. The second method for completing this challenge is by playing Night Raids on Buried City or Dam Battlegrounds. The Bastion usually spawns near Pizza Arbusto in Buried City and the Power Generation Complex in Dam Battlegrounds.
Destroy Ticks, Fireballs and Pops
This is probably the easiest challenge to complete this week if you know where the small ARCs spawn in different maps. In my experience, the best place to complete this challenge at once is on Stella Montis and the underground part of Blue Gate. The best mode for getting high points in this challenge is during the Locked Gate event on Blue Gate. Once the gates open during Locked Gate, make your way through the Security and Maintenance Wing, and you'll end up with more than 5,000 points in no time.
Damage Wasps
This challenge is quite straightforward, as you'll simply need to damage Wasps flying around on all maps. You can complete this challenge on any map during a 2x trials enabled condition. The best way to complete this challenge is by playing Blue Gate during Night Raid or Electromagnetic Storm. You can also utilise modes like Hidden Bunker and Locked Gate, as both of these game modes take place during the daytime with 2x trials enabled.
Harvest Plants
This is probably the hardest challenge to complete this week if you are not used to farming Great Mullein. The first method to complete this challenge is by playing Night Raid on Buried City and running around the outskirts to harvest Mullein. However, if you are looking to get a high score in this challenge, you have to play Spaceport and follow this specific route:
Damage Rocketeers, Leapers or Bastions
To complete this challenge in the fastest and most efficient method, try playing the Locked Gate event on Blue Gate to easily complete this challenge. There are three Rocketeers in this mode; you can find two of them guarding Pilgrim's Peak and one in front of Reinforced Reception. As for the Leapers, you can find one of them in Adorned Wreckage, and another one usually spawns near Ancient Fort. For taking out one Rocketeer you'll get 2200 points, for one Leaper you'll get 2200 points, and for one Bastion you'll get 4200 points.
You can also find a Bastion near the entrance of the Locked Gate. You can easily complete this challenge by using Wolfpack grenades. For taking out a Rocketeer, you'll need two Wolfpacks, for Leapers, you'll need one Wolfpack accompanied by a few rounds of heavy ammo; and for Bastions, you'll need exactly three Wolfpacks. So make sure to plan ahead and take the number of wolfpacks according to how much score you want to earn in the end.
Getting 3 stars with decent points in trials will guarantee you a spot in the top 20 of the leaderboard. Remaining in the top 20 will also allow you to jump 2 ranks once the trials are refreshed for next week.
