The fourth set of weekly trials in ARC Raiders is live. Five different sets of tasks await completion.
This week’s challenges include ARC takedowns and puzzle decoding. All but one task is completable in any map condition. I’ll show you how to snag three stars for maximum rewards.
ARC Raiders Week 12 Trials Walkthrough
Five tasks await completion in Week 12 of ARC Raiders.
- Deliver carriables
- Damage Rocketeers
- Destroy Pops
- Download information inside the bunker
- Damage Hornets
Deliver Carriables
Ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world? In ARC Raiders this week, you literally are. You need to haul crates to specific drop-off points to complete the first trial.
You can find the crates on any map. But if you want to double-dip, run this task with the fourth one, “Download information inside the bunker”. With the Hidden Bunker modifier active, you get 45 minutes on the clock instead of 30.
The extra time will help. Your movement speed gets nerfed while you’re lugging the Field Crate. Above, I’ve marked the Field Depots on Spaceport. But you can find them on other maps, if you prefer.
Damage Rocketeers
Remember last week’s snowball fight? Things are about to get real. This week demands you inflict actual damage on Rocketeers, which are some of the most lethal aerial ARCs you’ll face.
I’ve spotted them frequently near Reinforced Reception on Blue Gate, but they can spawn on other maps, too. These enemies launch high-damage rockets, so teamwork is key.
There aren’t any real “cheat” tactics here. Ideally, play as a squad, shoot, and keep moving. Using shelters will help prevent the Rocketeer from locking on.
Destroy Pops
Think of this as alien bubble wrap: Stella Montis is your go-to map. Pops freely patrol the corridors, ripe for elimination. Their armor is weak, so you don’t need heavy firepower here.
Download Information Inside the Bunker
This week’s toughest challenge could push you into PvP skirmishes. The Hidden Bunker is a special location on Spaceport, accessible only when the Hidden Bunker map condition is active.
Don’t head straight for the Bunker, though. First, you must activate four antennas, which will be marked on the map, before the locked door opens.
Inside, you’ll find the terminals. Interact with one to download the data. Repeat, and you’ll eventually earn three stars. Bonus: If a squadmate downloads data, it counts for you, too.
Damage Hornets
Hornets are pretty common, and you can find them easily in the open. I find Blue Gate is a good place to find them, but they’re equally common on Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, and Spaceport. You won’t find any specific spawn locations for these. Scan the skies and track anything that moves.
Heavy weapons help, since Hornets don’t have special armor. Keep an eye on the sky. What strategies will you use to conquer Week 12’s challenges?
