ARC Raiders: Weekly Trials – Best Strategies for Maximum Rewards

In ARC Raiders you can complete new weekly challenges every week, the Weekly Trials. Many of them require a specific approach to achieve the highest possible score, and we will show you how to do that every week.

What are Weekly Trials? From level 15, you unlock the “Trials” menu in the Raider tab – here you can access the Weekly Trials. The Weekly Trials consist of 5 tasks that you can track and gather progress on. The tasks revolve around destroying specific ARCs, collecting resources, or dealing damage.

Every Monday, these tasks rotate and are replaced by new ones. If you have made progress on the retired challenges, you will be rewarded and get a spot on the leaderboard. Many Raiders like to use the Trials to secure useful rewards, but to get the most out of them, you need to boost your score enough to reach at least 3 stars.

Weekly Trials from March 23 to March 29 and the best strategies

Challenge 1: Damage ground-based ARC enemies

Best Strategy: Here it pays off to combine this with the second challenge, because there you also have to take down ground troops. However, focus not only on the smaller units. In the Buried City, especially near the Town Hall, large machines like Bastions also patrol, which drop a lot of points.

Challenge 2: Destroy ticks, fireballs, and pops

Best Strategy: Pops can be easily found and taken out solo on the “Buried City” map. Use the Night Looting and visit the area around the parking garage. Pops can be found in the following buildings:

• Space Agency
• Research Facility
• Galleria 
• Hospital 
• Library

You can search all these places in a circle and quickly cover them. For their destruction, it is best to use the Anvil, as one shot is sufficient per pop.

Challenge 3: Defuse mines during “Locked Gate”

Best Strategy: Visit the Pilgrim Peak during the event and look for the mines. They are wild scattered on the slopes and hard to miss. They look like silver-colored plates with a glowing ring in the middle. To defuse them, just step on them and then immediately press the “Defuse” button.

Challenge 4: Harvest plants

Best Strategy: To get the most out of harvesting, you should harvest different plants based on an important map condition. It is best to use the Night Looting. The best place to complete the challenge is Galleria on the “Buried City” map. Visit the place and collect the plant “Small-flower Evening Primrose.” If you haven’t been able to collect enough points yet, you should visit the Marano Park and continue harvesting. 

However, you should know that not all plants count towards your progress. You should focus on the following plants:

• Agave
• Moss
• Fungi
• Small-flower Evening Primrose

What doesn’t count are fruits from trees like lemons or apricots.

Challenge 5: Search the containers in the Medical Research Facility

Best Strategy: There is no best strategy here. Just sprint to the Medical Research Facility and open every container you see. You should also search containers that have already been opened – you can still earn points from those.

That’s it for now this week. We will update our overview after each new week and list new strategies so you can complete the challenges quickly.
