Discover Final Arc Raiders Week 25 Trial Guide: Easiest Double Points Routes Before Riven Tides Wipes Board
A new week! Arc Raiders Week 25 trials went live on April 20th, and as usual, completing them will earn you tons of rewards.
Week 25 trials will run from April 20th to April 26th, while the current Arc Raiders update ends on April 28th. This means this week's trials are the final ones. After that, we'll see the highly anticipated Riven Tides update.
This week's trials also consist of five parts, and you'll earn double points if you complete them on certain maps.
Arc Raiders Trials for Week 25 include the following:
Search ARC Probes
Damage Queens or Matriarchs
Damage Fireflies
Open Containers inside the traffic tunnels
Damage Flying ARCs inside the walls
Next, I'll guide you through each task: how to complete them quickly. If you're interested, please read on!
Search ARC Probes
Aside from Stella Montis, you'll frequently encounter ARC Probes emitting black smoke and randomly spawning on the ground. Therefore, this is a very simple trial; you just need to wander around the map, find, and destroy these ARC Probes.
These ARC Probes will emit a cue sound, so wear your headphones and listen carefully. Also, be careful not to get attacked by nearby enemies.
It's worth mentioning that you get double points in Electromagnetic Storm or Prospecting Probes map conditions. Finding one ARC Probe into normal conditions earns 667 points, while under these conditions you can get 1334 points.
Damage Queens or Matriarchs
Having covered the easiest trial of the week, let's move on to the hardest - Damage Queens or Matriarchs.
First, this trial only requires dealing enough damage to these two giant ARC enemies; you don't need to kill them. Note that they only appear in Harvester and Matriarch events.
Before facing two powerful enemies, make sure you have enough powerful Arc Raiders Items, such as Hullcrackers or Anvils, before starting the battle. You'll also need some explosives, shields, and healing items.
It would be ideal to team up with friends, but if you prefer playing solo, utilizing the map's terrain, targeting their weaknesses, and preparing the most suitable equipment beforehand will also allow you to complete this trial.
Note that you must leave the map alive to earn points. If you die in battle, you will not receive any points, so prioritize your survival.
Damage Fireflies
In this trial, you need to destroy a certain number of fireflies. Fireflies are new Arc Raiders added to the game in Shrouded Sky update.
Despite their cute name, unlike real-life fireflies, in the game they are Arc Raiders wearing armor, wielding flamethrowers, and capable of flight. Many players have complained that they are annoying and difficult to deal with.
However, with the right techniques, all players can easily complete this trial. First, you need to enter the raid area under major map conditions such as an Electromagnetic Storm or Night Raid.
Second, you need to know that Fireflies' weaknesses are thrusters and fuel tanks, so the best approach is to bring targeted Arc Raiders items, such as Ferro or Anvil.
You should use Ferro or Anvil to shoot down Fireflies before they attack you with their flamethrowers, making them an easy kill.
While Fireflies are present on all maps, Spaceport or Blue Gate maps have the most, allowing you to complete missions quickly on these maps.
Open Containers inside the traffic tunnels
Another simple one, now we can relax a bit. Enter The Blue Gate, then Traffic Tunnels, and loot all the containers you can find to easily earn double points.
Alternatively, you can take another route, passing through Checkpoint area guarded by a Bombardier.
Don't forget to evacuate safely after looting the containers; if you die, you won't get any points. There are safe extraction points near Traffic Tunnels, so memorize their locations.
Damage Flying ARCs inside the walls
This is still a simple trial. First, where is the trial location? They're in the center of Spaceport, surrounded by walls. Once inside the walls, you'll easily find flying ARCs patrolling around.
Hunting any flying ARCs inside the walls will earn points, including Hornet, Firefly, Rocketeer, Spotter, Snitch, Vaporizer, and Wasps. Note that you must damage them inside the walls; leaving the walls will not earn points.
You'll definitely need good ranged Arc Raider Items to complete this trial. Like Fireflies mentioned earlier, simply use ranged equipment to attack their weak points and shoot them down; then it's your turn.
This concludes the guide to Week 25 trials. To better prepare for Riven Tides update on April 28th, be sure to complete Week 25 trials and earn the generous rewards.
Many tasks in this week's trials are better suited for teams of two or three players. Teaming up is a better option if you want to achieve a higher ranking, although this may sound a bit unfair.
Additionally, note that leaderboard rankings will lock you into a group the first time you earn a score. Players who have time to complete trials on weekdays usually have more playtime, while many players only have two days a week to play on weekends.
Therefore, if you're interested in the leaderboards, you can submit your scores on the weekend, which will place you in a less competitive weekend group.
