How To Easily Complete All ARC Raiders Trials This Week (January 26)

Okay, so ARC Raiders Week 14 is live! They’ve dropped a new set of Trials, which is awesome. These change every week, along with the rewards, but honestly, they’re the best way to snag some extra loot while you’re out raiding. I always make sure to knock those out!

Each week, you’ll face five Trials that you need to complete with a perfect score – earning three stars on each one. You get points by doing activities related to each Trial, and reaching 4,000 points unlocks access to valuable rewards, including blueprints.

This guide details the newest Trials in ARC Raiders and provides the most effective strategies for finishing them all.

Every Week 14 Trial In ARC Raiders

This week, ARC Raiders features five fresh Trials, and most of them task you with tracking down and defeating different types of ARC enemies.

Here’s the full list of Trials for ARC Raiders Week 14:

  • Damage Bastions
  • Destroy Ticks, Fireballs and Pops
  • Damage Wasps
  • Harvest Plants
  • Damage Rocketeers, Leapers or Bastions

Okay, so I just learned something cool about the Trials! If we complete them while a special map event is happening – like a Night Raid – we get double the points. But, and this is a big but, we have to actually make it out safely! So, definitely make sure we’re prepared before jumping into those tougher conditions. No points if we don’t extract!

How To Complete ā€˜Damage Bastions’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks

Okay, so the tutorial made it pretty clear – I’m going to have to fight a Bastion. Apparently, these things are seriously tough enemies in ARC Raiders, so I need to be ready for a real challenge!

You can find Bastions on any map in ARC Raiders, but they appear most reliably in certain locations. A common spot is in Stella Montis, at the very bottom of the Loading Bay. This is a good place to fight them because there’s plenty of cover, and their weak spots – the yellow joints on their legs or the canister on their back – are easy to hit.

If you want to defeat them, you’ll need good weapons. Powerful options like the Ferro or Anvil are recommended, and a Wolfpack could be very effective if you have the resources. However, they aren’t particularly difficult to defeat, so it’s probably best to save your best gear for a more challenging enemy.

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

  1. Load into Stella Montis with a heavy weapon and a few stacks of ammo.
  2. Head to the Loading Bay and find some good cover.
  3. Begin to shoot the Bastion. Aim for its weak points, and take cover when it shoots.
  4. Once it’s destroyed, successfully extract at the nearby Metro Station.

How To Complete ā€˜Destroy Ticks, Fireballs and Pops’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks

Ticks, Fireballs, and Pops are simple enemies to defeat, but they can be annoying when they appear in groups.

This week’s Trial is relatively simple, and you can complete it on any map because the enemies appear randomly. For the best results, try playing on The Blue Gate or Stella Montis, as those maps have a lot of these enemies.

You can use any weapon against these enemies, but it’s important to prevent them from gathering together. A single, badly-timed burst of damage combined with effects like poison or fire can quickly wipe out your team.

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

  1. Load into any map, though The Blue Gate and Stella Montis are perhaps the best choices.
  2. Explore enclosed areas, and hunt down any Ticks, Pops or Fireballs that you come across.
  3. Once you’ve destroyed enough for three stars, successfully extract.

How To Complete ā€˜Damage Wasps’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks

This trial is straightforward: simply shoot the Wasps, which appear throughout the ARC Raiders maps.

Those annoying aerial robots can be a real problem if they find you when you’re vulnerable – like if you’re carrying too much or just finished a fight. But if you’re the one attacking them, it should be pretty easy.

If you’re trying to get three stars on this Trial, The Blue Gate is a good place to focus your efforts. The large, open map makes it easy to see the Wasps from far away. Just equip a long-range weapon, like an Osprey or Renegade, and destroy any Wasps you encounter.

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

  1. Load into any map, though ideally, The Blue Gate.
  2. Use your long-range weapons to snipe any and all Wasps out of the sky from a safe distance.
  3. Once you’ve killed enough of them, successfully extract.

How To Complete ā€˜Harvest Plants’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks

Good news! You can put away your weapons for this Trial. Instead of fighting, you’ll be gathering plants and animals – it’s all about harvesting now.

Completing the Trial isn’t as simple as it seems, because not all plants qualify. Any fruit you can pick – like lemons, olives, apricots, or prickly pears – won’t help you finish it.

Okay, so if you’re planning a gathering run, forget about just picking fruit! You really want to focus on plants you have to harvest – things like Great Mullein or Mushrooms. And seriously, try to do it during a Lush Bloom event if you can, the extra rewards are awesome. I’ve seen so many people make the mistake of gathering fruit for nothing, and it’s a waste of time unless Scrappy specifically asks for it!

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

  1. Load into any map, though one with the Lush Bloom map condition would be ideal.
  2. Head to POIs that offer natural resources. You’re looking for the likes of Great Mullein, Agave or Mushrooms.
  3. Once you’ve harvested enough, successfully extract.

How To Complete ā€˜Damage Rocketeers, Leapers or Bastions’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks

Okay, so this week’s final Trial throws three tough ARC enemies at you, but honestly, it’s not nearly as hard as it seems. I was a little worried at first, but I got through it pretty easily!

If you just want to get three stars, completing this Trial alongside the Damage Bastions Trial is a good strategy, as the points from both will combine. But if you’re aiming for a higher rank and want to maximize your points, The Blue Gate is a better choice.

The Blue Gate seems to be the best map for Trials this week, and there’s a good reason why. It’s where you’re most likely to find almost all types of ARC enemies. This week’s Trial especially features a lot of these ARC enemies. You’ll see Rocketeers flying around, Leapers near Reinforced Reception, and usually a Bastion by the Gate Approach or Traffic Tunnel.

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

  1. Load into any map, though The Blue Gate is a great choice.
  2. Target any and all ARC you see across the map. A great place to start is Pilgrim’s Peak with the Rocketeers near the top.
  3. Once you’ve earned enough points, successfully extract.

If you earn three stars on every Trial, you’ll level up, and you might even get rare rewards like Blueprints. Don’t forget to share your loot in the official TopMob Discord server!
