Throw Snowballs at Rocketeers Weekly Trial in ARC Raiders: Locations, Loadouts & Tips

What to know

• This Trial is only active under the Cold Snap map condition that spawns snowballs on the topside maps.
• You must collect and throw snowballs at Rocketeers; hitting them directly counts toward the challenge score.
• Each snowball hit awards points toward your Trial score; running in squads increases your overall scoring potential.
• Snowballs do negligible damage to ARCs, but count for Trial progression if they hit the target.

Throw Snowballs at Rocketeers Trial is a weekly challenge introduced as part of ARC Raiders’ winter-themed content under the Cold Snap map condition. Unlike traditional damage Trials that focus on killing or damaging enemies with weapons, this one requires you to collect snowballs from the snowy environment and throw them at Rocketeer enemies to earn Trial points. It plays into the seasonal mechanics of the Cold Snap event that blankets top-level maps in snow.

Cold Snap map condition must be active. This seasonal weather alters maps like Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, The Blue Gate, and Buried City, producing snow and snowball piles.

Loadout recommendation Rocketeers

• Rattler Assault Rifle
• Shield Recharger
• Bandage

You can attempt this Trial on any map where Cold Snap is active:

Dam Battlegrounds – open areas with frequent snowball piles and Rocketeer spawns.

Spaceport – elevated areas near Launch Tower or open decks offer snowball access and flying enemy engagements.

The Blue Gate – multiple outdoor spaces with snowball pickup locations and ARCs patrolling.
