Week 14 of ARC Raiders has officially begun, and to mark the occasion, there’s a new batch of Trials. These objectives change weekly, as do the rewards, but they’re a sure-fire way to earn some extra loot whilst you’re out on a raid.
There are five Trials to complete every week, and you will need to earn a high enough score to three-star each one of them. You’ll gain points by completing activities tied to the Trial, and if you manage to get 4,000 points, you’ll have a chance at earning 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 methods to complete each one.
Every Week 14 Trial In ARC Raiders
As usual, there are five new Trials in ARC Raiders this week, and almost all of them involve you hunting down a variety of ARC enemies.
Here’s the full list of Trials for ARC Raiders Week 14:
- Damage Bastions
- Destroy Ticks, Fireballs and Pops
- Damage Wasps
- Harvest Plants
- Damage Rocketeers, Leapers or Bastions
Before you head out to tackle these Trials, remember: completing Trials during an active map condition, such as a Night Raid, will earn you double the amount of points. Of course, you won’t earn any points if you don’t successfully extract, so make sure you’ve got what it takes before heading out into the more dangerous conditions.
How To Complete ‘Damage Bastions’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
As the Trial suggests, you’ll need to go toe-to-toe with a Bastion, one of ARC Raiders’ more deadly foes.
Bastions can spawn on any map in ARC Raiders, though there are some where their appearance is guaranteed. Perhaps the most common place to find a Bastion is in Stella Montis, right at the bottom of the Loading Bay. It’s an ideal place to fight one, thanks to the variety of cover, and you shouldn’t have much trouble targeting its weak points—the yellow joints on its legs, or the canister at the back.
To stand a chance at taking them out, though, you’ll need some decent kit. Heavy Weapons like a Ferro or Anvil are recommended, and if you can spare the gear, a Wolfpack would do a serious number against it. That being said, they aren’t the most complicated ARC to take down, so it might be best to save the more expensive gear for a tougher fight.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into Stella Montis with a heavy weapon and a few stacks of ammo.
- Head to the Loading Bay and find some good cover.
- Begin to shoot the Bastion. Aim for its weak points, and take cover when it shoots.
- Once it’s destroyed, successfully extract at the nearby Metro Station.
How To Complete ‘Destroy Ticks, Fireballs and Pops’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
Ticks, Fireballs and Pops are some of the easiest ARC to destroy, but they can be a nuisance when clustered together.
This is by far one of the easier Trials for the week, and it can be completed on any map since these ARCs spawn just about anywhere. Your best bet is to head into a building or enclosed area, with The Blue Gate and Stella Montis being the two best maps to find these enemies in abundance.
Any weapon type should fare well enough against these foes, but make sure they don’t group up on you—one poorly timed Pop explosion paired with a Tick or Fireball can spell a quick end to a raid.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into any map, though The Blue Gate and Stella Montis are perhaps the best choices.
- Explore enclosed areas, and hunt down any Ticks, Pops or Fireballs that you come across.
- Once you’ve destroyed enough for three stars, successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Damage Wasps’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
Another easy Trial here, as all you’ll have to do is shoot Wasps, which can be found on any ARC Raiders map.
These pesky flying ARC can be a nuisance when they catch you in the open, over-encumbered or weak from a recent gunfight, but if you’re the one hunting them down, it should be a piece of cake.
The Blue Gate might once again be your best bet to grind towards three-starring this Trial, as the vast, open map allows you to spot them from a mile away. Just bring a long-range weapon like an Osprey or Renegade, and shoot down any and all Wasps that you can find.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into any map, though ideally, The Blue Gate.
- Use your long-range weapons to snipe any and all Wasps out of the sky from a safe distance.
- Once you’ve killed enough of them, successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Harvest Plants’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
There’s finally some reprieve from shooting at ARC, as this Trial simply requires you to channel your inner farmer and harvest some fauna.
However, it’s not as straightforward as you might imagine, as certain plant-life doesn’t count towards the Trial. Any fruit you can harvest, be it Lemons, Olives, Apricots or Prickly Pears, doesn’t count towards completing the Trial.
Instead, you’ll need to make sure you’re gathering the plants that require you to harvest them, such as Great Mullein or Mushrooms, ideally during a Lush Bloom event for the best rewards. It might sound obvious, but plenty of people have made the mistake before and wasted a raid gathering fruit for nothing—unless Scrappy needs them, don’t bother!
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into any map, though one with the Lush Bloom map condition would be ideal.
- Head to POIs that offer natural resources. You’re looking for the likes of Great Mullein, Agave or Mushrooms.
- Once you’ve harvested enough, successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Damage Rocketeers, Leapers or Bastions’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
The final Trial of the week pits you up against three fierce ARC enemies, though it’s not as difficult as it sounds.
If you’re only going for the three stars, you can partner this Trial with the Damage Bastions Trial, as the points will stack between the two of them. However, if you’re looking to earn as many points as possible to bump up your rank, consider loading into The Blue Gate.
It seems like every Trial this week is best done on The Blue Gate, but for good reason. Almost every ARC enemy can spawn on the map, and for this Trial in particular, these ARC spawn in abundance. Rocketeers can be spotted soaring across the map, Leapers spawn in and around the Reinforced Reception, and a Bastion typically spawns by the Gate Approach or Traffic Tunnel.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into any map, though The Blue Gate is a great choice.
- Target any and all ARC you see across the map. A great place to start is Pilgrim’s Peak with the Rocketeers near the top.
- Once you’ve earned enough points, successfully extract.
If you manage to get three stars for each Trial, not only should you rank up, but there’s a strong chance you could even earn some rare loot like a Blueprint or two. If you do, show off your earnings in the official Insider Gaming Discord server.
