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 3 Week 2 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 3 Week 2 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 3 Week 2 trials in ARC Raiders:
Open containers inside the traffic tunnels (Locked Gate)
This trial is exclusive to the Locked Gate mode. Once the gates open in the Locked Gate mode, make your way to the traffic tunnels, and keep opening containers. You can open box containers, security breaches, electrical boxes, and car trunks to complete this challenge.
Search Raider Caches
To complete this trial you can either search for the normal raider caches or look for the new First Wave caches found in the Hurricane mode. I recommend completing this challenge in the Hurricane mode, as it will give you 2x points for the trial. You can complete this trial in any map, but the best maps during the Hurricane condition are Buried City and Dam Battlegrounds. Aside from completing the trial, you can also get some high-tier loot and blueprints from these new First Wave caches.
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.
Destroy Ticks
The best map to find Ticks is Stella Montis. Hop into a Stella Montis night raid and make your way to the Seed Vault; you will find plenty of Ticks in that POI, allowing you to complete your trial in a single run. There's also a good number of Ticks in the Medical Research area.
Destroy ARC enemies in the Swamp (Dam Battlegrounds)
This is a new trial added to the game with the Season 3 update. To complete this trial, head to the areas surrounding the Hydroponic Dome Complex and look for ARCs patrolling the area. During major map conditions like Electromagnetic Storm, Night Raid, and Hurricane, you will find Wasps, Hornets, Leapers, Rocketeers, and Bastions patrolling the area. Usually taking out a large ARC like the Leaper or Bastion can net you a 3-star in this trial.
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.
