The Season 4 Week 3 trials in ARC Raiders are live now, and here's a comprehensive guide on how to get 3 stars in all challenges in this week's trials.

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 4 Week 3 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 4 Week 3 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 4 Week 3 trials in ARC Raiders:

Damage ARC Enemies on the Beaches

This is a new trial introduced with the Riven Tides update. To complete this challenge, head to the Seabed area on Riven Tides near the beaches, and damage enemies roaming the area. Usually, the area is patrolled by aerial ARCs like Vaporiser, Fireflies, Hornets, and Wasps.

Damage Vaporizers

This is possibly the hardest trial for this week. Vaporizers are new aerial ARC enemies added to the game with the Flashpoint update. Taking them out won't be as easy as taking down a Rocketeer. You will need to rely on full cover to damage Vaporizers as they are very agile and will quickly pin you down before you get the chance to take them out.

Target its Thrusters or the core which is located in the middle of the ARC. Shooting the core will deal the most amount of damage to this ARC. Unfortunately, as the Vaporizer has an autonomous shield system, you cannot use a Wolfpack grenade to take it out.

Damage Fireflies

Fireflies roam around all maps in the game. To complete this challenge, use higher rarity weapons like the Renegade, Jupiter, Hullcracker, and Equalizer. Target the armoured parts of the Firefly with the high-armour-penetration weapons and destroy the rotors to bring them down while dealing the highest amount of damage.

Search Raider Caches

This trial is possibly the easiest one you need to complete this week. You will need to look for Raider Caches in any map. The easiest method of completing this trial is by playing the Uncovered Caches map condition, which increases the spawn rate of Raider Caches on the map.

Search ARC Probes, Couriers, and Assessors

To complete this challenge, you can play the Electromagnetic Storm and Close Scrutiny map conditions. During these map conditions, you will find ARC Probes, Couriers, and Assessors lying around the map.

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.
