Tips for Achieving Three Stars in This Week’s Arc Raiders Trials

Destroy Ticks, Fireballs, and Pops

These three Arcs are all pretty common enemies. A good route is to go to Dam Battlegrounds and clear out the underground tunnels joining Water Treatment and Research & Administration, then go all the way from the Control Tower basement to the very top.

You could also head to the Buried City and search the Parking Garage, residential areas, or the various metro stations across the map, since these often have them as well.

Search Supply Drops

Opening a Supply Drop in Arc Raiders is usually pretty simple, and, as mentioned in the guide above, there’s always one in the Hydroponic Dome Complex in Dam Battlegrounds.

You can find others as well— just keep an eye out for a pole with a light on top with a console you can activate at the bottom to call one in.

Damage Wasps

As one of the most common Arcs, you can find Wasps pretty much everywhere, but if you want a high-density, I’d suggest heading to the Power Generation Complex or near the Control Tower on Dam Battlegrounds.

There are also quite a lot in Buried City and since that map is smaller, it’s easy to hang out on a rooftop and snipe to aggro them, though that may draw unwanted player attention if you’re at it too long. As with any flying Arc, its propellers are the weak point.

Damage Bastions

Given the difficulty of these enemies, getting three stars for this Trial isn’t necessarily a walk in the park (well, except for that Bastion that literally spawns in Marano Park).

You can find Bastions on multiple maps, but your best bet is Buried City, either in Plaza Rosa, Marano Park, or on the street next to the Parking Garage. Just make sure it’s definitely a Bastion first versus a Bombardier—the easiest way to tell is whether it has two spotter Arcs patroling nearby.

The best way to damage Bastions is by blasting their legs away with a Ferro or Anvil, but you can use explosives, too.

Damage Queens or Matriarchs

Despite being the toughest Arcs in the game, these are pretty easy to find at least. Simply wait for the Harvester (Queen), or Matriarch map events on Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, or Blue Gate.

Your best bet for damaging these will be a Hullcracker and Wolfpacks, but you can still contribute even with a Ferro or Anvil and some heavier duty grenades.
