The new Season of ARC Raiders Trials is officially well underway, with the third batch ready to tackle. These objectives change weekly, as do the rewards, and if you’re still recouping gear after the Expedition, 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 Week 20 Trial In ARC Raiders
There are five new Trials in ARC Raiders this week, and aside from fighting ARC, you’ll need to channel your inner Thor and tangle with lightning to complete them all.
Here’s the full list of Trials for ARC Raiders Week 20:
- Get hit by lightning
- Damage Hornets
- Damage flying ARC enemies inside the Spaceport walls
- Damage Bombardiers
- Deliver Carriables
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 ‘Get Hit By Lightning’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
As far as Trials go, this one is perhaps the craziest; you’ll need to get yourself struck by lightning numerous times to complete this Trial.
Of course, this Trial is locked behind the Electromagnetic Storm event, where lightning often strikes sporadically across the map. With this Trial in mind, your job is to get struck by it—and not just once if you want the three stars.

It’s pretty obvious to see where the lightning will strike, thanks to the shimmering blue circle on the ground that appears moments before it lands. By all means, this is a comparatively easy Trial, just make sure you have enough healing on you to withstand the numerous jolts.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into any map during the Electromagnetic Storm Map Condition.
- Stay on the surface, and purposefully get struck by the lightning.
- Once you’ve managed three stars, successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Damage Hornets’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
Hornets are easy to kill in ARC Raiders, and they can be shot down with just two well-placed bullets.
These flying ARC enemies can be found on every ARC Raiders map, and you’ve undoubtedly run into your fair share of them. They tend to patrol alongside Wasps and zap you, giving the Wasps a clear window to riddle you with bullets.
That being said, they’re more than easy enough to take down. All it takes is some well-aimed shots at their back two propellers, though if you’re struggling to get a glimpse, just knock off the armor plates protecting the two front ones instead.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into any ARC Raiders map.
- Locate Hornets and shoot them down.
- Rinse and repeat until you’ve earned 4,000 points.
- Successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Damage Flying ARC Enemies Inside The Spaceport Walls’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
It’s another new Trial this week, as this time around you’ll be constricted to within the walls of Spaceport, which you can see outlined in the graphic above.
So long as you’re within the walls, this Trial is incredibly simple. Just shoot down any and all flying ARC that you can see across the map. These include:
- Snitch
- Spotter
- Wasps
- Hornets
- Fireflys
- Rocketeers
Rocketeers will grant you the most points towards your three stars, and numerous of them spawn within the walls, so finding them shouldn’t be a difficulty. Just destroy one of those, and sweep up the rest of the points with Wasps and Hornets.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into Spaceport, ideally during a Major Map Condition.
- Make your way into the confines of the Walls.
- Shoot down any and all flying ARC enemies.
- Once you’ve achieved three stars, successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Damage Bombardiers’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
To complete this Trial, you’ll need to take on one of the tougher ARC in the game: the Bombardier.
These ARC are fairly tough to kill, thanks to their highly damaging mortar strikes. The Spotters sent out by them ping your location, and before long, you’ll find yourself bombarded with missiles.

With that in mind, you’ll want to make sure that you clear out the Spotters before you take on the Bombardier, as that will slow down its mortar strikes and make it far more inaccurate. Secondly, you’ll want to find some overhead cover, as the missiles rain down from above.
With some heavy weaponry, overhead protection, and destroyed Spotters, you should be able to handle the Bombardiers with ease.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into any map other than Stella Montis, as Bombardiers don’t spawn there. The Blue Gate is perhaps the best here.
- Find some cover near the Bombardier, and begin taking it down, destroying the Spotters as it sends them out.
- Three-star the Trial, and successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Deliver Carriables’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
For the Deliver Carriables Trial in ARC Raiders, you’ll need to find and deliver crates to Field Depots, or batteries to substations.
You can find these crates across all of the maps in ARC Raiders, aside from Stella Montis, but you should prioritise maps you know best. Dam Battlegrounds has a good amount of these scattered around the outskirts of the map, and you might even stumble across some decent rewards once they’re deposited.
Remember, though, that whilst you’re carrying the crate, you’ll be both slower and louder. It might be best to consider teaming up with some friends for this Trial, so you’ve got somebody to watch your back whilst you’re vulnerable.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into any ARC Raiders map, bar Stella Montis, unless you only want to do the batteries.
- Find a Field Crate or Battery.
- Deliver to the nearby delivery spot.
- Repeat until you’ve earned three stars.
- Successfully extract.
Complete all five of those Trials, and you should have some tasty loot in your stash. Share your hauls in the official Insider Gaming Discord Server.
