As the new week begins, ARC Raiders Players officially have a new set of trial challenges to complete. Those looking to earn some new in-game rewards can now do so by competing in the latest set of trials. ARC RaidersWhich once again requires players to take on Wasps, Pops, Bastions, and the Matriarch, which is currently the deadliest enemy in the game.
The test system is only one of many methods ARC Raiders Players can get their hands on high-value loot. While the main way to obtain blueprints, weapons, and other gear is by Topside and scavenging, trials allow fans to complete weekly challenges for special rewards. Every Monday, five new challenges are added to the game, where players can earn three stars for each. Earning one star will grant players an uncommon item, two stars a rare item, and three stars an epic item. Players can earn even more rewards by achieving higher ranks throughout the season. The higher they climb in the rankings, the higher they will receive at the end of the season.

The developers of ARC Raiders explain how its enemies were built to behave like real machines, adapting with a sense of mechanical self-preservation.
Last week was the week of 6 ARC Raiders' Trial challenges require players to damage Hornets, deliver carriages, damage Rocketeers, Leapers, or Bastions, destroy pops, and open ARC probes. Despite being only a little over a month old, fans have made it clear that they are already getting tired of the repetitive challenges that appear every week. Damage or destroy pop, for example, appears almost every week in some capacity. Some players called the system “lame”, while others said it was “absolute trash”.

For those looking to get their hands on some extra loot in the first build ARC Raiders This month's campaign, a new set of trial challenges is now live. Players level 15 or higher can navigate to the Trials section of the main menu to check out challenges, which include destroying ticks, fireballs, and pops, finding supply drops, and damaging Wasps, Bastions, Queens, and Matriarchs. While the older common enemy types of the bunch can be found on most maps, Queens and Matriarchs are only available in certain map events, making this trial the toughest challenge of the bunch. However, it is worth noting that players do not need to kill the Queen or Matriarch; They just need to rack up as much damage as possible in one round.
As for the rest of the challenges, most of them require players to either damage or destroy some common ARC enemies. Pops, ticks and fireballs, for example, can be found indoors in most buildings. Wasps, also incredibly common, can be found outside with two thrusters on either side. Taking out the thrusters will take the Wasp down quickly, the challenge is to do as much damage as possible, which means, in this instance, players should aim to score as many points as possible before destroying the center of the ARC.
