As I stood in the shadows of Stella Montis, adrenaline coursing through my veins, the faint whir of a Shredder echoed nearby. It was a stark reminder of the challenges lurking in the depths of ARC Raiders Week 16 Trials. Every encounter brought a tantalizing sense of reward, yet the stakes never felt higher.
This week, you’re gearing up to tackle some of the fiercest ARC enemies. If you’re after a clean three-star victory in your tasks, buckle up. Here’s how to approach the challenges effectively.
Understanding the Week 16 Trials
Five significant tasks await you:
- Deal damage to Shredders
- Search First Wave Husks
- Damage Rocketeers
- Damage Leapers
- Destroy Fireballs
Deal Damage to Shredders
Shredders can be a nightmare, and their presence often means trouble. Finding them in Stella Montis isn’t just a task; it’s a test of your skills. They lurk behind secured doors, often guarding high-tier loot, waiting for an unwary hunter.
Confronting a Shredder requires strategy. Equip yourself with adequate cover—its AoE attack can diminish your health in seconds. Time your strikes for when it cools down. Focus on its thrusters to maximize damage.
Utilize explosives effectively, or arm yourself with a shotgun like the Il Toro for direct confrontations. A few well-placed grenades from the Hullcracker can also seal the deal.
First Wave Husks: Scavenging History
First Wave Husks serve as quiet witnesses to the fierce battles of yesteryears. Their remains dot the landscapes, waiting for your keen eye to scour locations like Dam Battlegrounds and Spaceport. Each discovery adds to your XP, moving you closer to that coveted three-star completion.
Rocketeers: The Aerial Threat
As the danger escalates, Rocketeers present one of the biggest threats. You’ll find them flitting around during Matriarch raids. Don’t underestimate their agility and the havoc they can wreak if left unchecked.
Combat approaches vary; you can either pick them off from a distance or employ two Wolfpacks for a more explosive finish. Stay shielded and conserve your energy for those crucial dodge rolls.
Leapers: The Agility Challenge
If Shredders test your resolve, Leapers demand your reflexes. You won’t need to destroy them, but make no mistake—encountering one won’t be a cakewalk. Instead of being simply random, they spring to life during Matriarch events, making careful positioning key.
Concentrate your fire on their eye, using weapons that inflict fire damage for maximum effectiveness. Staying close can mitigate their jumping attack, turning potential damage into opportunity.
Fireballs: Easiest Targets?
Fireballs may seem innocuous, but they’re deceptive little creatures. They thrive in indoor spaces, like within Buried City, ready to unleash their fiery projectiles when least expected.
When they aim to attack, that’s your moment to strike. A single shot to their core will put an end to their antics. Heavy ammo can be devastating, so keep a safe distance to avoid getting scorched.
The challenges in ARC Raiders Week 16 Trials are immense, but so are the rewards. Are you prepared to face these foes head-on and claim your three stars?
