ARC Raiders Trials Guide: Easy Solo Routes for Traffic Tunnels and Raider Caches
Traffic Tunnels and Raider Caches look similar on paper, but the scoring logic is different. Traffic Tunnels is about early access and full clearing fixed containers, while Raider Caches is about using Hurricane and following known spawns fast. Once we play around that, the score jumps quickly.

Traffic Tunnels: easiest solo method for 48K+
The main goal is simple: get the Locked Gate open early, then clear every map-spawned container in the tunnel area.
Best setup
| What to bring | Why |
|---|---|
| Mid-weight loadout | Enough for normal Bluegate PvE |
| Anti-heavy option | There is usually a Bastion inside |
| Confiscation Room Key | Biggest bonus room for points |
| Patrol Car Key | Extra loot spots in the tunnels |
How to score well
- Help with the four Locked Gate keys if they are near you
- If the gate is still closed after about 8 minutes, leave and requeue
- Start on the right side of the tunnels
- Clear the area like a horseshoe: main path, then every side branch
- Check stairs, balconies, backpacks, grenade boxes
- Save 2–3 minutes for extraction
What counts
- Map containers count
- Enemy loot does not
That means route discipline matters more than combat.
Raider Caches: best solo method for 22K+
For this Trial, Hurricane is the best mode.
Why Hurricane is better
| Mode | Why it works / fails |
|---|---|
| Hurricane | Opened caches still make noise and do not get destroyed |
| Uncovered Caches | More spawns, but caches can burn up and become harder to track |
In one late run with only 22 minutes left, we still got about 22.4K points. With a full-timer match, 25K–30K looks realistic.
Best method
- Queue at the start of the hour for a fresher Hurricane raid
- Run Dam Battlegrounds or Bluegate
- Move between known cache spawns
- Listen carefully near each point; audio range is short
- Avoid running against the wind for long stretches
- Do not overfight; keep moving
Key tip
If another player already opened a cache in Hurricane, it can still be worth points because it still gives the audio cue and remains trackable.
Quick comparison
| Trial | Best strategy | Strong solo score |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic Tunnels | Early gate + full tunnel clear + keys | 48K+ |
| Raider Caches | Hurricane + spawn route + fast extract | 22K+ |
FAQ
Which Trial is easier solo?
Raider Caches is more consistent. Traffic Tunnels has the higher ceiling if the gate opens early.
Is the Confiscation Room Key worth using?
Yes. It is one of the best point boosts in the tunnel run.
Do enemy drops count in Traffic Tunnels?
No. Focus on fixed map containers only.
When should we leave for extract?
Keep a 2–3 minute buffer.
Final notes
If you want the fastest gains this week, use early Locked Gate runs for Traffic Tunnels and Hurricane for Raider Caches. We do not need a huge loadout here; we need clean routing, fast decisions, and enough time to get out.
