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.

- Summary
↖ ARC Raiders Weekly Trials: Best 3-Star Routes
| Trial | Best Location | Fast 3-Star Method | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open containers inside hotel | Riven Tides Hotel | Loot hotel rooms, cars, pool area, key rooms | 15 containers |
| Search computers | Stella Montis / Spaceport | Sweep tech rooms and offices | 19–20 computers |
| Deal melee damage to ARC enemies | Matriarch / Queen / Shredder | Break armor, melee weak spot | 20–22 good hits |
| Damage Spotters | Blue Gate / Spaceport | Farm Spotters from Bombardiers | 15–20 Spotters |
| Damage ground-based ARC enemies | Blue Gate / Dam Battlegrounds | Kill Bombardiers, Bastions, bosses | 2 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 1 | Riven Tides | Hotel containers |
| Raid 2 | Stella Montis / Spaceport | Computers |
| Raid 3 | Blue 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 containers | Keys, light weapon, mobility | Fast loot route |
| Computers | Light kit, stamina items | Avoid fights |
| Spotters | Accurate burst weapon | Fast moving targets |
| Ground ARC damage | High DPS weapon, explosives | Big ARC health pools |
| Melee damage | Heals, 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.
