Weekly Trials & Guide

For this Season 5 Trials challenge (July 28 – August 4), Raiders must search as many Raider Caches as possible. Raider Caches are metal supply boxes scattered across the Topside, containing medkits, throwables, and other useful items. Caches spawn across all maps, but Dam Battlegrounds offers the highest number of potential spawns, making it the best location to maximize Trial points. You do not need to be the first Raider to open a cache — any search counts toward progress. Each cache searched awards Trial points toward your three-star rating.

Blaze Grenades deal both instant impact damage and damage over time, making them one of the strongest throwables in Arc Raiders. For this challenge, Raiders must deal damage specifically to ARC enemies using Blaze Grenades. Each 1 HP of damage dealt awards 1.5 Trial points. To reach a three-star rating, Raiders must deal at least 2,250 HP of Blaze Grenade damage. Blue Gate is the best map for this challenge. Head to the Outer Gates tunnel, where a Bastion miniboss resides. Its large health pool makes it ideal for maximizing damage. Throw Blaze Grenades one at a time — their damage-over-time effects do not stack. Wait for the burn effect to finish before throwing the next grenade.

Pops explode when close to Raiders, dealing damage based on your shield level. Their explosion damage is as follows: • 60 HP with no shield • 40 HP with a light shield • 35 HP with a medium shield For every 1 HP of damage received from Pops, Raiders earn 15 Trial points. To reach the three-star rating, Raiders must receive at least 200 HP of damage. The easiest method is to enter a match without shields, reducing the number of Pops required. Bring medkits and bandages to safely recover between explosions. Using free kits also increases the chance of encountering fewer hostile Raiders. Once enough points are earned, make a safe escape.

Light ammo weapons fire quickly and are effective against unarmored ARC enemies like Wasps. For this challenge, Raiders must deal damage to Wasps using light ammo weapons. Each 1 HP of damage dealt awards 2 Trial points. To reach a three-star rating, Raiders must deal a total of 1,500 HP of damage to Wasps. Blue Gate is the recommended map due to its large open areas, making Wasps easier to spot. Using a Snitch Scanner guarantees spawns: deploying one summons a Hornet and two Wasps. Shooting a Snitch and triggering its alarm also produces the same spawn pattern. Focus fire on the main body first, then destroy the turrets to maximize damage.

For the final Season 5 Week 4 challenge (July 28 – August 4), Raiders must open containers located inside the Traffic Tunnels on the Blue Gate map. These tunnels are found underground near the Outer Gates on the north side of the map, with multiple entry points. Only the first Raider to open a container receives credit — subsequent interactions count only as searches. Containers inside the Traffic Tunnels include standard containers as well as lootable ARC and Raider bodies. Each container opened awards 100 Trial points. Raiders must open at least 30 containers to reach the 3,000 points required for a three-star rating.
