The ARC Raiders trials for Week 11, coinciding with the third week of Season 2, are now live, bringing five new tasks for players to complete. Some tasks are quite straightforward, while others can be a bit more demanding. Among these, one task can only be accomplished during the Cold Snap event. This guide outlines all the details you need to achieve three stars across these challenges.
ARC Raiders Week 11 Trials Walkthrough
Week 11 presents five exciting tasks, focusing on battling ARCs and gathering essential resources. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to do:
- Damage Snitches
- (Cold Snap) Throw snowballs at Bastions
- Damage Bastions
- Search Supply Drops
- Harvest Plants
How can I damage Snitches?
Snitches appear on almost every map except Stella Montis, making them somewhat elusive. These aerial ARCs might not pose a direct threat, but they can alert nearby enemies to your location, which can lead to trouble.
I found the most Snitches around the Blue Gates and other player points of interest (POIs) on the map. It’s a good idea to take them out to minimize the risk of being caught off guard by stronger ARCs.
Where can I throw snowballs at Bastions?
Bastions are larger ARCs known for their heavy armor. The Loading Bay area in Stella Montis is a reliable spot to find them. You’ll need to be in a Cold Snap environment to throw snowballs, which is necessary for this task.
Blue Gate is also a great map choice, especially near the Warehouse Complex. Collect enough snowballs and aim to hit the Bastion 16 times to earn maximum stars. If you’re playing in a group, any snowball thrown counts towards everyone’s progress!
How do I damage Bastions effectively?
Dishing out damage to Bastions is pretty straightforward and can be done in tandem with the snowball task. Here, you’ll want to unleash your weapons instead. Teamwork is key; let one player lure the Bastion out while others focus fire with heavy-hitting weapons. Incorporating tools like the Wolfpack and Deadline can enhance your damage output.
What are the best strategies for searching Supply Drops?
You can spot Supply Drops on all maps—I’ve particularly had good luck at Dam Battlegrounds. Use the marked locations for Supply Call Stations to request valuable resources.
To gain three stars, repeat this task several times. You’ll earn 600 XP when you interact with the Supply Drop, with an additional 200 XP bonus upon completing the search, further multiplied during a Cold Snap environment.
Where can I find and harvest plants?
Your best bet for harvesting plants is to head toward areas marked as vegetated areas. The South Swamp Outpost in Dam Battlegrounds is one potential location, as is the Hydrophonic Dome, which is rich in various plants.
As you gather these plants, make sure to interact with them to progress. Participating in the Lush Bloom event can increase your chances of finding more plants, although it won’t provide bonus XP.
