It’s the week of the highly anticipated Flashpoint update for ARC Raiders, and what better way to engage in the new wave of content than to complete the new batch of Trials. These objectives change weekly, as do the rewards, and if you’re gearing up for the new wave of ARC, they’re a great way to earn some extra loot.
Every week, there are five Trials for you to work on, and you’ll need to earn 4,000 points for each one to three-star them. You’ll gain points by completing activities tied to the Trial, and if you manage to earn three stars, there’s a chance you’ll also earn some high-tier rewards—blueprints included.
In this guide, you’ll find out what the latest batch of Trials are in ARC Raiders, as well as the best method to complete each one.
Every Trial In ARC Raiders (March 30—April 5)
There are five new Trials in ARC Raiders this week, which will have you looting in various maps, as well as fighting a renowned ARC enemy.
Here’s the full list of Trials:
- Open containers inside the traffic tunnels (The Blue Gate)
- Deal damage to Shredders
- Loot bird’s nests (Bird City)
- Search First Wave husks
- Damage flying ARC enemies
Remember that completing Trials during an active Major Map Condition will double the amount of points that you earn. Luckily, Insider Gaming has a nifty Map Condition Tracker, so you can schedule when it’s best to grind out your weekly Trials.
How To Complete ‘Open Containers Inside The Traffic Tunnels’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
The first Trial of the week will see you entering the Traffic Tunnels in The Blue Gate, where you’ll need to open as many containers as possible.
If this Trial sounds similar, that’s because it is! Just a few weeks ago, you were tasked with the same objective, except the map condition was limited to Locked Gate. Thankfully, this time around, you won’t have to open the tunnels, as the Trial can be completed on the base map.

Of course, if you’re looking to complete it quicker or earn more points, you’ll want to complete it during a Major Map Condition, but it might be worth waiting for Hurricane or Electromagnetic Storm so you don’t need to go through the hassle of opening the Locked Gate.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into The Blue Gate, ideally during a Major Map Condition.
- Head down into the Traffic Tunnels, and open any and all containers.
- Once you’re opened enough, successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Deal Damage To Shredders’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
This Trial is certainly linked to the Flashpoint update, as Shredders are breaking containment from Stella Montis to spawn on other maps.
Shredders are easily one of the most dangerous ARCs to fight in the game, especially if they catch you off guard. Well, it’s bad news for those of you who hate them, as you’ll have to face off against them to complete this Trial.
In the months past, you’d have to load into Stella Montis to fight some shredders, but thanks to the Flashpoint update, these ARC can be found on other maps, including The Blue Gate. They’re still found roaming around indoors, but if you want to fight them in bulk, Stella Montis might still be the best choice, particularly during a Night Raid.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into any map that spawns Shredders, though Stella Montis during a Night Raid is a safe bet for lots of spawns.
- Take on any Shredder that you find. Shoot their glowing blue propulsors to make short work of them.
- Once you’ve dealt enough damage, successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Loot Bird’s Nests’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
To complete the ‘Loot Bird Nests’ Trial, you’ll need to load into Buried City during the Bird City Map Condition and search chimneys on the various rooftops.
Trial aside, it’s a great method to earn some quick cash, especially if you’re running low on your newly wiped character. An assortment of rare Rubber Ducks spawn in these chimneys, and these Trinkets can be sold for a hefty fee—so long as you manage to extract with your spoils.
There are tons of chimneys to search during the Map Condition, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding enough of them to complete the Trial. Just search the Eastern side of the map for the best success, and make sure you beat the other raiders to them!
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into Buried City during the Bird City Map Condition.
- Search rooftops for chimneys and loot them.
- Once you’ve searched enough of them, successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Search First Wave Husks’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
For this Trial, you’ll need to search the decaying bodies of previous ARC, which spawn around multiple maps as First Wave Husks.
They come in three shapes and sizes:
- Wasps
- Rocketeers
- Barons
You can find these older remains on most maps, especially during the Husk Graveyard or Electromagnetic Storm Map Conditions, though only the latter will offer you double points towards the Trial. All you need to do is search them, so even if you’re late to the party and they’ve already been breached, you can still complete the Trial.

For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into any map, though Dam Battlegrounds or The Blue Gate during Electromagnetic Storm is ideal.
- Search for any and all First Wave Husks, searching them on the way.
- Once you’ve earned enough points, successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Damage Flying ARC Enemies’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
To complete this Trial in ARC Raiders, all you have to do is shoot at any and all flying ARC.
There are six flying ARC in ARC Raiders. These are:
- Spotter
- Snitch
- Wasp
- Hornet
- Firefly
- Rocketeer
Damaging any of these ARC enemies will count towards completing the Trial, so it’s by far one of the easiest to three-star. A great method is to bring a Renegade or Osprey, and snipe all flying ARC from atop the Pipeline Tower during a Night Raid on Dam Battlegrounds.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into Dam Battlegrounds during a Night Raid with any long-range weapon.
- Head to the Pipeline Tower and reach the roof.
- Use your long-range weapon to snipe any and all flying ARC.
- Repeat this until you’ve earned three stars for the Trial.
- Successfully extract.
If you manage to get three stars for each Trial, not only should you rank up, but there’s even a chance you could earn some excellent loot. Share your spoils in the official Insider Gaming Discord Server.
