ARC Raiders Week 14 Trials (Jan. 26) – How to get three stars (Season 2 Week 6)

Week 14 Trials is now live in ARC Raiders, and we have five tasks to complete for various rewards.

The five tasks offer different degrees of difficulty: some are relatively easy, while others might be more difficult. Let’s look at the tasks and how to complete them to gain three stars and obtain the best possible rewards.

ARC Raiders Week 14 Trials walkthrough

Here are the five tasks to complete in Week 14.

• Damage Bastions
• Destroy Ticks, Fireballs, and Pops
• Damage Wasps
• Harvest Plants
• Damage Rocketeers, Leapers, or Bastions

Damage Bastions

Bastions can spawn on any map, but the best spot is an area near the Warehouse Complex on Blue Gate. While the spawn spot is still random, you’ll have higher chances of encountering the Bastion at this location. Once you spot it, your next task is to destroy it to get XP.

For this task, I recommend playing in a party. The Bastion can’t target more than one player. While someone baits the bot, you and your other buddy can target the Bastion. Ideally, use heavy weapons to do maximum damage.

Destroy Ticks, Fireballs, and Pops

Ticks, Fireballs, and Pops are the smaller ARCs in the game, and they’re pretty easy to find. To complete the task, you have to find and destroy them. Fireballs are best found near Industrial areas on any map. However, the best map to target is Stella Montis. This map is smaller, and you’ll encounter more enemies in a shorter span of time.

The narrow corridors and rooms also have Ticks in them, and you’ll find many at a single location. Destroy as many as you can to rank higher. Stella Montis also has plenty of Fireballs roaming the corridors, or you can try the Ruby Residence location on Dam Battlegrounds.

Damage Wasps

Wasps are flying ARCs that frequent the skies of all maps. They don’t have any specific location per se. Since I play the most on Dam Battlegrounds, you can try on the same map. Ideally, you’ll want to use weapons with heavy ammo since you can potentially two-shot them. However, Wasps aren’t hard to take down; their armor is mediocre.

Target their wing motors to disable their flight, which will make it easy to take them down faster. To complete the task, you don’t have to destroy the Wasp (however, doing so gets you more XP due to the higher damage).

Harvest Plants

Another simple task; you have to harvest plants to complete this task. All maps, barring Stella Montis, have areas marked as Vegetation. You’ll find different plants to harvest at such locations. The entire Swamp area of Dam Battlegrounds is great, since you can find different plants (like Mushrooms). The Olive Grove location of Blue Gate is another spot where you can get Olives and Lemons.

You can also wait for the Lush Bloom map event, when even more plants can be found. However, harvesting plants during Lush Bloom doesn’t grant you extra XP points. You’ll just get the same XP quicker, as you’ll find more plants.

Damage Rocketeers, Leapers, or Bastions

We have had separate tasks in previous weeks where we had to either damage or destroy Rocketeers, Leapers, and Bastions. These are three of the strongest ARCs to take down in the game. While they don’t have a specific location as such, you can find a Rocketeer near the Reinforced Reception area.

You can also combine this task with the first one, as both of them can be completed by damaging Bastions.
