ARC Raiders brings fresh trials to challenge your raids, testing your scavenging skills across ravaged maps and a premium Torque skin elevates your style topside.

You gear up with the Torque skin as a standout reward for pushing through trial ranks from Tryhard all the way to Cantina. This outfit stands out with its versatile customization options that let you adapt your look mid-raid. Toggle the helmet on, off, or with visor up, strip away the jacket for mobility, remove knee pads, leg pouch, shoulder pad, or straps to suit your playstyle.

The color variants add flair—choose orange for visibility, red for aggression, or yellow-gray for stealthy vibes. Without accessories like backpacks or charms shown yet, developers seem to be finalizing those touches. You might spot it popping up at rookie rank, hinting at potential rank structure shifts.

How to complete the new trials

These trials rotate across familiar maps and events, emphasizing container looting, enemy engagements, and environmental hazards.

You rack up points by hitting specific objectives, even on already-searched spots in friendly lobbies. Prioritize safe drops to avoid PvP interference.

Search containers in the Medical Research wing

Head far left on the map to search containers in the medical research wing.

Loot bird’s nests

Participate in the event and loot any bird nest, from chimneys to mini-structures—already looted ones still count.

Open containers inside the traffic tunnels 

Open the gate during the locked-gate event, enter tunnels, and loot all containers inside.

Destroy ARC enemies in the Swamp 

Quite literally what the title says – Go to the Dam Battleground map and destroy ARC enemies deep in the swamp area.

Get hit by lightning

That’s right! Position yourself to get hit by lightning—stock bandages, sprays, or Vita shots nearby, and consider a teammate for backup.

Step 1

Equip survival meds and drop near high-ground storm zones.

Step 2

Wait for lightning to strike open areas or metal structures.

Step 3

Take the hit and heal immediately to secure points.

Damage flying ARC enemies inside the Spaceport walls

Damage flying ARC enemies inside the spaceport walls—stay within buildings or shoot from inside for counts.

Disarm mines during Locked Gate

During the event, locate and disarm explosive mines around points of interest. Watch for player interference like detonations or prior disarms—rotate events if needed.

Step 1

Enter Locked Gate and scan POIs for glowing mines.

Step 2

Approach slowly, interact to disarm without triggering.

Step 3

Repeat across multiple sites if others clear them first.

Developer responses to player feedback

Embark Studios acknowledges Shrouded Sky update hiccups like crashes under investigation and patchwork outfit display issues for first-expedition players. They promise fixes to show correct rewards regardless of your expedition choice. Crafting frustrations get attention too—the Wolfpack now requires a Rocketeer driver instead of two explosive compounds to balance its fast-deploying, auto-tracking, high-damage power.

Weapon balancing remains a focus, with Il Toro adjustments in testing based on telemetry and discussions. You see their commitment to measured changes amid community gripes over past nerfs.
