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 8 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 8 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 8 trials in ARC Raiders:
Search ARC Probes
ARC probes are usually rare to see in normal map conditions. To complete this challenge, wait for the Prospecting Probes map condition to go live and then jump in to complete the challenge. You'll need to open around 4 probes to complete this challenge easily. There is no advantage of doing this in a night raid or other map conditions, as the spawn of ARC Probes is very limited.
Damage Fireflies
The Damage Fireflies trials are quite easy if you know how to efficiently take them down. To complete these trials, try bringing in a fully upgraded Renegade or Anvil. Utilise cover and fire at the armoured rotors of the fireflies to take off the armour and then destroy the motors to throw its balance off.
Damage Queens or Matriarch
This challenge will be much easier to complete in solo lobbies, as players are much more friendly when it comes to queens and matriarchs. To get 3 stars, you simply need to damage the Queen or Matriarch. You can do it by using the Jupiter, Equaliser, Hullcracker, or Wolfpack grenades, depending on which one you can afford to use. For this challenge you only need to damage these two large Arcs; you don't need to kill them.
Damage Flying ARC Inside the Walls (Spaceport)
This is another new trial added to the game with the Season 3 update. To complete this trial, you need to damage aerial ARC enemies inside the spaceport walls. While this is an easy challenge to complete, you need to pick the perfect spot to maximise your point potential.
The best place to complete this challenge would be to destroy flying ARCs from the roof of Arrival or Departure building. You can also utilise the launch tower and control tower roofs to make this challenge a tad bit easier, but be on guard, as both of these POIs feature heavy player traffic.
Open Containers Inside the Traffic Tunnels (Blue Gate)
This trial is exclusive to the Blue Gate map. 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.
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.
