How To Easily Complete All ARC Raiders Trials This Week (January 19)

Alright, ARC Raiders players, Week 13 is live! That means a fresh set of Trials just dropped. These challenges rotate every week, and so do the goodies you can snag, but honestly, they’re a super easy way to get extra loot while you’re already out raiding. I’m definitely checking these out!

Each week, you can participate in five Trials, each with its own score. Completing tasks within each Trial earns you points, and reaching 4,000 points unlocks the best rewards.

This guide will show you the newest Trials in ARC Raiders and the best ways to beat them all.

Every Week 13 Trial In ARC Raiders

This week, ARC Raiders introduces five new Trials. These challenges vary from scavenging resources from ARC containers to facing off against the game’s toughest opponents, including the dangerous Shredders.

Here’s the full list of Trials for ARC Raiders Week 13:

• Damage Queens or Matriarchs
• Search First Wave husks
• Damage flying ARC enemies
• Deal damage to Shredders
• Open ARC Probes

Completing these Trials while a special map event is happening, like Night Raid, will give you twice as many points. Just remember, you only get the points if you successfully finish the Trial and leave, so be prepared for a challenge!

How To Complete ‘Damage Queens Or Matriarchs’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks

As you’ll discover in the Trial, you’ll face ARC Raiders’ toughest enemies – either the Queen or the Matriarch – in a direct confrontation.

You’ll only find these powerful enemies when specific conditions are met on their corresponding maps. The Queen appears during the ‘Harvester’ event, and the Matriarch appears during the ‘Matriarch’ event. To defeat them, make sure you have a strong set of weapons and equipment.

If you’re planning to fight a Queen or Matriarch on your next raid, here’s a list of useful equipment to bring.

• Anvil / Ferro / Bettina / Hullcracker
• Stitcher / Venator / Kettle
• Medium Shield
• 10x Shield Rechargers
• 5x Herbal Bandages / 10x Bandages / 3x Defibs
• 2x Wolfpacks / 2x Deadline Mines / Snap Hook (Optional)

If you want a good spot to battle one of these creatures, check out the Blue Gate Harvester Event. A Queen will appear to protect the Harvester, but you can often draw her away towards a nearby convenience store, which offers excellent cover.

For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:

1. Load into Blue Gate during the Harvester event.
2. Head to the convenience store just to the left of the Gate Approach.
3. Shoot the Queen to get its attention, and then duck inside the store—it shouldn’t be able to hurt you inside.
4. Whilst it’s over the store, shoot at its legs with your Heavy Weaponry.
5. If the face is visible, shoot at the small panels on either side of the central red light. This will reveal the core.
6. Aim for the core when you can to do some serious damage, or continue to chip away at its armor.
7. Once you three-star the event, you can either head to the extract or continue until the Queen is killed.
8. Successfully extract.

How To Complete ‘Search First Wave Husks’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks

First Wave Husks are broken, armored shells found throughout the game’s maps. To fully complete the event, you’ll have to destroy several of them.

This week’s Trial is relatively simple and can be done in several locations. We recommend trying it in Dam Battlegrounds. Specifically, head to the Old Battleground area – you’ll find lots of husks to investigate there, such as:

• Barons
• Wasps
• Rocketeers

Okay, so if you want to three-star this Trial, you have to search every nook and cranny. Just be careful – those Baron husks hit back hard! When you start climbing the big corpse and try to breach it, fire will shoot out of its head. Seriously, it’s a lot, so drop down quickly to avoid getting burned. Once the flames die down, you can go back and grab all the loot.

For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:

1. Load into Dam Battlegrounds.
2. Head to the Old Battleground POI.
3. Search any and all husks in the surrounding area.
4. Successfully extract.

How To Complete ‘Damage Flying ARC Enemies’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks

To complete this Trial in ARC Raiders, all you have to do is shoot at any and all flying ARC.

There are five flying ARCs in ARC Raiders. These are:

• Spotter
• Snitch
• Wasp
• Hornet
• Rocketeer

This Trial is one of the easiest to complete with a perfect score because any damage to the ARC enemies counts. A good strategy is to use a Renegade or Osprey and eliminate all flying ARC units from the Pipeline Tower during a Night Raid on Dam Battlegrounds.

For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:

1. Load into Dam Battlegrounds during a Night Raid with any long-range weapon.
2. Head to the Pipeline Tower and reach the roof.
3. Use your long-range weapon to snipe any and all flying ARC.
4. Repeat this until you’ve earned three stars for the Trial.
5. Successfully extract.

How To Complete ‘Deal Damage To Shredders’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks

You’ll only find Shredders on the Stella Montis map in ARC Raiders, and these flying drones are surprisingly powerful.

Even though Shredders are known as tough enemies in ARC Raiders, they’re actually not that hard to defeat. Just target their thrusters – you can even use lighter weapons to take them down.

If you want to finish this Trial as fast as possible and have the means to do so, consider using a Hullcracker. With a Tier 4 upgrade, it can destroy a Shredder in just two hits.

For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:

1. Load into Stella Montis, ideally during a Night Raid for additional points.
2. Find and kill Shredders. These can usually be found in abundance in and around the Medical Research POI.
3. Successfully extract.

How To Complete ‘Open ARC Probes’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks

This challenge could be the simplest of all. While probes appear on many maps in ARC Raiders, the Prospecting Probes event makes them much more common.

These probes are usually easy to locate because they make a distinct pinging sound. However, when they’re being hacked or broken into, they’ll make an even louder, fluctuating sound that could draw unwanted attention from other automated robots—or enemies.

You can finish this Trial fastest during the Prospecting Probes event, which happens on these maps:

• Dam Battlegrounds
• Spaceport
• Buried City
• The Blue Gate

For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:

1. Load into any map during the Prospecting Probes event.
2. Search for multiple Probes, and breach them.
3. Successfully extract.

If you earn three stars on every Trial, you’ll level up, and you might even get rare rewards like Blueprints. If you do, share your loot on the official TopMob Discord!
