An Overview of the Week 7 Trials

Trials in ARC Raiders provide weekly opportunities to earn high-value loot beyond standard Topside scavenging. Five new challenges refresh every Monday, focusing on destroying or damaging specific ARC enemies and performing utility tasks. Earn stars by accumulating points in a single round, with higher scores unlocking better rarity rewards and contributing to seasonal leaderboards.​

Week 7 Challenge Breakdown

Target these tasks efficiently to maximize stars:

Challenge Key Tips and Locations Difficulty Notes
Destroy Ticks, Fireballs, and Pops Hunt indoors in buildings on Stella Montis; Fireballs respawn frequently for repeat damage. Easiest; common enemies.
Search Supply Drops Activate Supply Call Stations across the map to summon and loot drops repeatedly. Straightforward utility task.
Damage Wasps Found outdoors near buildings/elevators; aim center before rotors. Avoid reinforcements. Easy aerial foes.
Damage Bastions Search Blue Gate; group up to distract and hit back cylinders. Avoid frontal attacks. Moderate; tanky enemies.
Damage Queens or Matriarchs Trigger map events; damage without killing; dodge rockets and maintain distance. Hardest; elite event bosses.

Rewards and Progression

Rack up stars across challenges to claim items directly, scaling from Uncommon to Epic. Climb seasonal divisions for bonus end-of-season loot, motivating consistent play. Stockpile now ahead of the Expedition, where higher Stash value grants extra skill points.

Expedition Tie-In

The first Expedition opens December 17-22, resetting all progress but rewarding participants with cosmetics, 12 Stash slots, and skill points based on Stash value (5 per 1M). Max Trials rewards to bolster your Stash beforehand, as no items carry over.

Trials Strategies

Squad up for tougher challenges like Bastions or Matriarchs, using weapons like Anvil or Renegade for precision damage. Focus single-round performance over kills, prioritizing point-efficient targets. Rotate maps like Stella Montis for density or Blue Gate for elites to hit three stars quickly.

New challenges drop next Monday (Week 8), offering fresh loot paths amid growing calls for variety. Gear up via Trials to thrive in the Expedition and beyond, balancing risk with high-reward enemy hunts.
