Arc Raiders, get ready for week 7 trials! This week's set of challenges includes searching Supply Drops and taking on Wasps, Ticks, Pops, Fireballs, Bastions and the all-consuming Matriarch.

The complete list of Week 7 Trials challenges is given below, along with tips and locations to completing them:

Challenge Key Tips and Locations
Destroy Ticks, Fireballs, and Pops Hunt indoors in buildings on Stella Montis or similar maps; Fireballs spawn frequently for repeated damage.
Search Supply Drops Activate Supply Call Stations across any map to summon and loot drops multiple times.
Damage Wasps Find outdoors near buildings or elevators; target center for max points before rotors, avoid reinforcements.
Damage Bastions Search Blue Gate or group up to distract and hit back cylinders; avoid frontal assaults.
Damage Queens or Matriarchs Trigger map events for spawns; deal damage without killing, dodge rockets, keep distance.

Accumulate points in a single round to earn stars. The higher your scores are, and the more stars you earn, the better quality of rewards you'll get, going from Uncommon (for one star) to Rare (two stars) to Epic (three stars).

While raiders can also gain rewards through in-game quests, Trials are fun weekly challenges for special rewards. If you are at level 15 or above, find this week's Trials challenges in the Main Menu > Trials sections.

While this may not be as big a week for Arc Raiders - we're all waiting for the first ARC Raiders Expedition - the Trials do keep the idle gamer from falling asleep while they twiddle their thumbs and look forlornly with a thousand yard stare as the days tick by.

However, do note that once the Expedition is live this month, all your game items will reset.
