ARC Raiders Weekly Trials Guide: Fast 3-Star Routes, Best Maps, and China-Exclusive Modes

This week's ARC Raiders Trials are not hard, but they punish bad routing. The fastest clear is simple: split loot objectives from combat objectives. Do Riven Tides for hotel containers, Stella Montis or Spaceport for computers, then farm ARC damage on Blue Gate or Dam Battlegrounds.

ARC Raiders Weekly Trials: Best 3-Star Routes

Trial Best Location Fast 3-Star Method Target
Open containers inside hotelRiven Tides Hotel Loot hotel rooms, cars, pool area, key rooms15 containers
Search computersStella Montis / Spaceport Sweep tech rooms and offices19–20 computers
Deal melee damage to ARC enemiesMatriarch / Queen / Shredder Break armor, melee weak spot20–22 good hits
Damage SpottersBlue Gate / Spaceport Farm Spotters from Bombardiers15–20 Spotters
Damage ground-based ARC enemiesBlue Gate / Dam Battlegrounds Kill Bombardiers, Bastions, bosses2 large ARC enemies

 

Best plan: do this in three focused raids, not one messy all-in run.

 

 

Open Containers Inside Hotel: Riven Tides Route

This one is locked to the hotel area on Riven Tides. The trick is that the scoring zone is wider than the building itself.

 

Containers that can count:

 

  • Hotel room loot
  • Cabinets
  • Briefcases
  • Blue breachable cases
  • Pool-side containers
  • Nearby cars inside the hotel zone
  • Locked room containers

 

Each container gives about 200 points. You need around 15 containers for 3 stars.

 

Bring hotel keys if you have them. They make the run far more consistent.

 

If your score stops moving, you stepped outside the valid zone. Check progress after each section. Do not loot blindly.

 

Best Execution

Start outside the hotel edge. Hit cars and pool-side loot first. Then move inside and clear rooms.

 

Use keys last. If the area gets crowded, grab fast containers and leave. A clean 3-star extraction beats dying for two extra briefcases.

 

Search Computers: Best ARC Raiders Computer Farm

This is the most annoying Trial this week. Computers are not dense on every map.

 

Best maps:

Map Computer Density Verdict
Stella Montis High Best choice
Spaceport Medium-High Reliable backup
Dam Battlegrounds Medium Good if combining combat
Riven Tides Low-Medium Not ideal

 

Each computer gives roughly 160 points. You need about 19–20 computers.

 

Important detail: already-opened computers can still count if you search them yourself. Always interact.

 

Best Execution

Go Stella Montis for a pure computer run. Hit tech rooms, offices, and interior workstations.

 

If Stella is too hot, rotate to Spaceport. Check departures, arrivals, and space-tech buildings.

 

Do not fight unless forced. This Trial is about interaction count, not loot value.

 

Deal Melee Damage to ARC Enemies

This Trial is easy if you stop hitting armor.

 

You want weak spots. Armor hits score badly. Core hits score well.

 

Best targets:

Target Risk Score Potential Best Use
Matriarch High Very high Best leaderboard score
Queen High Very high Strong group option
Shredder Medium Good Best solo option
Bastion Medium Good Easier with teammate
Pops / small ARC Low Low Safe but slow

 

Weak-spot hits can give around 100–200+ points per swing. Expect about 20–22 good hits for 3 stars.

 

Best Execution

Bring:

 

  • Healing items
  • A weapon that breaks armor fast
  • Enough stamina to disengage

 

For solo players, use a Shredder. Strip the weak point, swing, back off, heal, repeat.

 

For squads, use Matriarch, Queen, or Bastion. One player draws pressure. Another farms melee damage.

 

Damage Spotters: Blue Gate Farming Method

Spotters usually come from Bombardiers. Do not kill the Bombardier too early.

 

Each Spotter gives around 160 points. You need about 15–20 Spotters.

 

Best areas:

Location Why It Works
Blue Gate near underground tunnels Reliable Bombardier routes
Spaceport open areas Multiple Bombardier chances
Lock Gate event zones Longer farming window

 

Best Execution

Find a Bombardier. Kill the Spotters. Leave the Bombardier alive.

 

Wait for redeploy. Repeat.

 

Use an accurate weapon. Spotters move fast, and missing shots wastes the whole farm.

 

If another Raider starts burning down the Bombardier, finish what you can and rotate. No Bombardier means no Spotter farm.

 

Damage Ground-Based ARC Enemies

This is the easiest combat Trial.

 

Valid targets include:

 

  • Ticks
  • Fireballs
  • Pops
  • Shredders
  • Bastions
  • Bombardiers
  • Queen
  • Matriarch

 

Bombardiers give around 2,100–2,200 points if you deal most of the damage. Two large ground ARC enemies are usually enough for 3 stars.

Enemy Value Recommendation
Bombardier Very high Best farm target
Bastion Very high Great alternative
Shredder Medium Good filler
Small ARC Low Only worth killing while rotating
Queen / Matriarch Very high Best for high score

 

Best Execution

Go Blue Gate or Dam Battlegrounds.

 

Kill two big ARC enemies. Extract.

 

If chasing leaderboard, fight Queen or Matriarch and stack damage. If just chasing 3 stars, do not overstay.

 

Best Weekly Trials Plan

Do not try to force everything in one raid. It sounds efficient. It usually gets you killed.

Raid Map Objectives
Raid 1Riven Tides Hotel containers
Raid 2Stella Montis / Spaceport Computers
Raid 3Blue Gate / Dam Battlegrounds Spotters, melee, ground ARC damage

 

This is the cleanest route for consistent 3-star clears.

 

If you are confident, combine Spotters, ground ARC damage, and melee damage in one Blue Gate run.

 

Recommended Loadouts

Trial Type Bring This Why
Hotel containersKeys, light weapon, mobility Fast loot route
ComputersLight kit, stamina items Avoid fights
SpottersAccurate burst weapon Fast moving targets
Ground ARC damageHigh DPS weapon, explosives Big ARC health pools
Melee damageHeals, armor-break weapon Survive close range

 

For melee, bring more healing than usual. One greedy swing can lose the raid.

 

For Spotters, bring extra ammo. The farm takes longer than it feels.

 

China-Exclusive ARC Raiders Weapon Skins and Modes

The China version is showing content global players have wanted for a while: weapon skins and new modes.

 

China Weapon Skins

Skin Weapon / Theme Why It Matters
Full River Red Anvil Strong visual identity
Lemon Battery Renegade Bright cosmetic style
ARC Trials Arpeggio Progression-themed skin
Space Skin Induction Fits sci-fi theme

 

Weapon skins make sense for ARC Raiders. Players already grind weapons. Cosmetics add long-term chase value.

 

PvE-Style Safe Zone Mode

One China-side mode appears to use a safe-zone / rebellion system.

 

Likely structure:

 

  • Players start in a PvE-style state
  • A player can trigger rebellion
  • Rebellion makes that player hostile
  • Others can fight the hostile player

 

This is smart design. It gives PvE players room to breathe without removing danger.

 

Dual Boss Mode

Another discovered mode appears to put Queen and Matriarch on the same map.

 

That would be huge for:

 

  • High-score Trials
  • Squad PvE
  • Heavy weapon value
  • Chaotic extraction fights
  • Endgame farming

 

For this week's ground-based ARC damage Trial, this mode would be perfect.

 

Will China Features Come to Global ARC Raiders?

No guarantee.

 

China's version may run through a separate regional pipeline involving Tencent, while the global version is tied to Embark and Nexon structures.

 

That means:

Issue Global Impact
Separate publisher pipeline Content may stay region-locked
Different approval process Updates may not sync
China-specific game build Modes may diverge
Separate monetization plans Skins may launch differently

 

Global players may eventually get similar ideas, but do not treat China content as confirmed global content.

 

FAQ

What is the fastest ARC Raiders Trial this week?

Damage ground-based ARC enemies is the fastest. Kill two large ARC enemies like Bombardiers or Bastions and you should hit 3 stars.

 

What is the best map for hotel containers?

Riven Tides Hotel. Loot rooms, pool-side containers, cars, cabinets, and locked rooms inside the hotel scoring zone.

 

What is the best map for searching computers?

Stella Montis is the best. Spaceport is the safest backup. Aim for 19–20 computer searches.

 

How do you complete melee damage fast?

Break armor first, then melee the weak spot. Use Shredder for solo runs. Use Matriarch, Queen, or Bastion with a squad.

 

Are China-exclusive skins and modes coming to global?

Not confirmed. The China version may have separate publishing, approvals, and content plans. Treat those features as China-only until officially announced for global.

 

Summary

This week's ARC Raiders Trials are easy with the right route.

 

Run Riven Tides for 15 hotel containers.

Run Stella Montis for 19–20 computers.

Run Blue Gate for Spotters, melee damage, and ground ARC damage.

 

Do not chase every Trial in one raid. Split the work, extract clean, and only push boss fights if you are geared for it.

 

The China version is the bigger story. Weapon skins, a PvE-style rebellion mode, and dual-boss events all look strong. Global players may get similar systems later, but nothing is confirmed. For now, clear the week efficiently and save your best kits for runs that actually pay off.
