ARC Raiders Week 12 Trials (Jan. 12) – How to get three stars (Season 2 Week 4)

The fourth set of weekly trials in ARC Raiders is now live, and we have five different sets of tasks to complete.

As usual, some of the tasks involve taking down ARCs, while the rest are related to decoding specific puzzles. All but one of the five tasks can be completed in any map condition. Let’s look at how to get three stars for maximum rewards.

• Damage Rocketeers
• Destroy Pops

• Damage Hornets

Deliver carriables

The first task of the new week requires you to carry crates to specific locations. You can find carriables on any maps, but ideally, you should combine this with the fourth task. When the Hidden Bunker modifier is active, you get 45 minutes instead of 30.

The extra time will be immensely helpful since your movement speed will reduce while you’re carrying the Field Crate (the carriable). I have marked the location of the Field Depots that you can find on Spaceport in the image above. However, you’ll also find Field Depots on the other maps (if you don’t want to play on Spaceport).

Damage Rocketeers

After hitting the Rocketeer with snowballs in previous weeks, we have to do actual damage now. The task won’t be easy, as Rocketeers are the deadliest aerial ARCs. They have precise rockets that can do a lot of damage. I have found them commonly outside the Reinforced Reception location on Blue Gate. However, you can also find them on other maps.

While there are no ‘cheat’ tactics to adopt, you’ll want to ideally play in a squad, shoot, and then constantly be on the move. Having a shelter is also going to be helpful to prevent the Rocketeer from locking on to you.

Destroy Pops

The best map for this task is Stella Montis. Pops roam around freely through the corridors, and you can then eliminate them to complete the tasks. Their outer armors are pretty weak, so you won’t need to do much to complete the job.

Download information inside the bunker

This is going to be the hardest task to complete this week, and it could force you to take part in PvP. The secret or Hidden Bunker is a special location on Spaceport. You can only access the location when the Hidden Bunker map condition is active. I have marked its location.

However, you won’t want to go directly to the marked location. Instead, you’ll first have to find four antennas. These antennas will be marked on the map, and anyone can activate them. Once all four antennas are active, it will open the locked door of the Hidden Bunker.

Inside, you’ll find the terminals. Interact with a terminal to complete the data download. Repeat this process, and you’ll eventually get three stars. Additionally, if someone from your squad downloads the data, that will also count.

Damage Hornets

Hornets are pretty common, and you can find one pretty easily in the open. My favorite map for spotting them is Blue Gate, but they’re equally common on Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, and Spaceport. There are no specific locations for finding these flyers; look up in the sky and keep tracking anything that moves. Ideally, using heavy weapons will be helpful, but Hornets don’t have any special armor on them.
