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 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 4 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 4 Week 8 trials in ARC Raiders:
Search cars
The best and optimal route for completing this trial is on Blue Gate. There is an abundance of cars surrounding the checkpoint area of the map. Running through that route can help you complete this trial very quickly.
Damage Comets
You will find Comets in almost all maps of the game, but in my experience the best map to complete this trial would be Spaceport. You will find plenty of elevation inside the walls, and most Comets roam inside that proximity. Use Anvil or any legendary weapon to quickly take out a comet before it blows up.
Damage ARC enemies in Old Town (Buried City)
This trial is quite straightforward, as you need to complete it in Old Town in Buried City. Once you reach Old Town, take down any ARC in the area to complete the trial. You will get the most points by eliminating any large ARC like the Leaper, Bastion, or Bombardier.
Destroy Multiple ARC enemies with a Wolfpack
The best method to complete this trial is using it near a squad patrol of flying ARCs. You'll find them in squads in Riven Tides and Blue Gate. Another strategy to complete this trial is by using Snitch Scanners. Use Snitch Scanners to spawn in Wasps, then use a Wolfpack to take out multiple wasps in a single use.
Damage Turbines
Turbines are the newest large ARC enemy in ARC Raiders. You will find this new cone-shaped ARC in Riven Tides. It usually enters the map after 10 minutes have passed, around the 18-20 minute mark of the match. You will spot it entering the map from space. Find cover, especially in a room with no windows, then use weapons like Renegade, Jupiter, Aphelion, and Equaliser to deal damage to the Turbine.
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.
