The new Season of ARC Raiders Trials is officially well underway, with the second 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 19 Trial In ARC Raiders
There are five new Trials in ARC Raiders this week, and you’ll need to explore a few different maps to complete them all.
Here’s the full list of Trials for ARC Raiders Week 19:
- Open containers inside the traffic tunnels (Locked Gate)
- Search Raider Caches
- Damage Rocketeers, Leapers, or Bastions
- Destroy Ticks
- Destroy ARC enemies in the Swamp (Dam Battlegrounds)
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
In order to complete this Trial in ARC Raiders, you’ll need to play during the Locked Gate event on The Blue Gate.
Opening the Locked Gate is just the beginning of this Trial. To do so, you’ll need to find four keys, which each spawn at these locations:
- Ancient Fort
- Pilgrim’s Peak
- Raider’s Refuge
- Reinforced Reception
To find the keys, just search every lootable container at each location. Inside one of them, you’ll eventually find a small slip of paper—that’s the ticket you’re looking for. Collect all four, either yourself or amongst everyone in the lobby, and take them to the Gate Control Room to put into the terminals. Once all four have been used, the Locked Gate will open!
Now, you’ll need to head down below into the tunnels and start looting like your life depends on it. There’s plenty to find down here, with blueprints and Epic Weapons galore.

However, that makes it the perfect spot for violence to break out. Even if you were in a friendly lobby, expect things to go sideways fast. It’s best to look out for yourself, and prioritise extracting once the Trial is complete: you won’t get any stars if you don’t make it out alive, after all.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into The Blue Gate during the Locked Gate Map Condition.
- Search each of the four locations for the keys to open the Gate. If possible, team up with the lobby to speed up the process.
- Once all four have been found, take them to the Gate Control Room and open the Gate.
- Head into the tunnels and search any and all containers. Remember, watch out for hostile raiders.
- Once you’ve earned three stars and got enough loot, successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Search Raider Caches’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
Compared to some of the other Trials, this one should be a walk in the park, especially if you complete it during one of two Map Conditions.
You can find Raider Caches on every map except Stella Montis, as these small tin boxes reveal themselves on the surface. They have tons of possible spawn locations on each map, so you’ll need to check each one, whilst listening out for their distinct humming sound.
Whilst you can complete this Trial during the Uncovered Caches Minor Map Condition, you’re better off doing it during the Hurricane Major Map Condition. Not only will the loot be better inside the Caches, but you’ll earn double the amount of points towards your Trial.
Dam Battlegrounds and Buried City are the best maps to search, as they have the best densities for Cache spawns, but Spaceport and The Blue Gate work too. It’s the perfect Trial to gather some high-tier gear after the Expedition!
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into any map during the Hurricane map condition, though Dam Battlegrounds has the best Raider Cache spawn densities.
- Plan your route, and search each and every Raider Cache you find.
- Once you’ve earned three stars, successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Damage Rocketeers, Leapers, Or Bastions’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
For this ARC Raiders Trial, you’ll need to face off against some of the tougher enemies, though it should still be fairly simple.
The variety available in this Trial makes it incredibly easy to complete. Whenever you’re next on a raid and have the heavy ammo to spare, consider taking out a few of these ARC to earn three stars with ease.
The easiest of the bunch is undoubtedly the Leaper, though the Bastion can be handled simply enough if you have enough cover—and maybe a friend to help draw its fire. The Rocketeer is probably the one you’d want to avoid, as they can easily ruin a raid with a few simple positioning mistakes.
Still, if you want to three-star this Trial, you’ll want to load into any map other than Stella Montis, as only one Bastion spawns, and that won’t be enough points. Consider The Blue Gate or Dam Battlegrounds; both maps have guaranteed spawns for each of these ARC, and enough distance between them that you shouldn’t get overwhelmed by enemies.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into any map other than Stella Montis, ideally during a Major Map Condition.
- Hunt down whichever ARC out of the three you fancy; you’ll need to kill at least one, and deal heavy damage to another to earn three stars.
- Once complete, successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Destroy Ticks’ Trial In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
All you need to do for this Trial is destroy Ticks, the small, spider-like ARC enemies.
These ARC spawn on every map, and they’re typically found within interior locations. They’re by far the easiest enemy to kill in the game, requiring even just one or two shots from a light weapon to take them out.

However, the trouble arises in finding them in vast quantities for the Trial. Stella Montis might be your best bet, since the entire map is indoors, just make sure you shoot them before they lunge at you!
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into any map, though Stella Montis might be your best bet, especially during Night Raid.
- Hunt down any and all Ticks.
- Once you’ve killed enough, successfully extract.
How To Complete ‘Destroy ARC Enemies In The Swamp’ In ARC Raiders—Tips & Tricks
This Trial is fairly broad, as all you’ll need to do is roam around the Swamp part of Dam Battlegrounds and destroy any ARC.
Numerous ARC types spawn in the Swamp, but perhaps most notable are the Rocketeers and Leapers. If you’re savvy, you can complete both this Trial and the ‘Damage Rocketeers, Leapers, or Bastions’ Trial at the same time.
In fact, it’s highly recommended that you do so, as the rest of the ARC here aren’t going to yield as many points, such as the Fireballs, Pops and Wasps. Just destroy the Leaper and Rocketeer, and that’s both Trials with three stars.
For a step-by-step guide, follow the process below:
- Load into Dam Battlegrounds, ideally during a Major Map Condition.
- Head to the Swamp, mainly the Hydroponic Dome Complex.
- Destroy the Leaper and Rocketeer that spawn here, or just one of them and a handful of smaller ARC.
- Successfully extract.
Earn three stars for each of those five Trials, and your new life after the Expedition should be a whole lot easier. Share your hauls over in the official Insider Gaming Discord Server.
