ARC Raiders Season 4 Week 8 Trials (June 15 – 21, 2026): How to get 3 stars in every challenge
This week, players must face off against Turbines, Comets, and other flying ARCs. Additionally, Raiders must scavenge loot from cars and battle ARC enemies in a specific Point of Interest (POI) in the Buried City map.
Here are all the tasks in Season 4 Week 8 Trials:
- Damage ARC in Old Town
- Damage Comets
- Damage Turbines
- Search Cars
- Damage multiple ARC enemies with a Wolfpack
1) Best ways to deal damage to ARC in Old Town for Season 4 Week 8 Trials
For this challenge in ARC Raiders, players must head to a specific area in the Buried City Map. It consists of the following Points of Interest:
- Plaza Rosa
- Santa Maria Houses
- Main Street
- Red Tower
- Corso da Vinci
- Church Ruins
Recommended loadout:
- Bettina / Anvil (IV preferred)
- Hullcracker (optional)
- Deadline (optional)
- Wolfpack (optional)
- Light / Medium Shield
- Shield Rechargers
- Herbal Bandages
Recommended strat
- Deploy on Buried City during any map condition and head to any of the POIs mentioned above.
- Look for flying / ground-based ARC in the area and shoot them to get their attention.
- Once the ARC is lured, shoot them using your primary weapon to damage and destroy them.
- Bigger ARC threats like Rocketeer, Bastion, or Bombardier must be destroyed by Wolfpacks or Deadlines, while the Hullcracker is a better option for the Vaporizer.
- Fight ARCs while being physically present in any of the POIs mentioned above to earn 4000 Trials score.
2) Damage Comets for Season 4 Week 8 Trials
Comets are a ground-based ARC enemy that ambushes Raiders by rushing at them and self-destructing. They operate similarly to Pops and feature a ton of destructible power. This is why you must destroy a Comet before it gets close to you and explodes.
Recommended loadout:
- Anvil / Ferro / Bettina (IV preferred)
- Medium Shield
- Shield Rechargers
- Normal / Herbal Bandages
Recommended strategy:
- Shoot a Comet to grab its attention.
- When it spots you, its chassis will open up to reveal a central core while its lights turn red.
- During this opportunity, you must hit the central section to damage the core.
- Destroying the core before this ARC lunges at you can save you from the self-destruction.
- In case you miss and are unable to take down the ARC, take cover behind any structure to escape the explosion radius.
Generally, one magazine of a Bettina IV is enough to shoot the core of a Comet and destroy it. However, with weaker weapons, finding cover is a necessary step before engaging them.
3) Best ways to damage the Turbine for Season 4 Week 8 Trials
Turbine is the latest ARC miniboss that appears midway into a match. Although players have no way of knowing whether one will spawn, Riven Tides has the highest chances of them spawning, especially during the Night Raid map condition. Taking down this miniboss requires a decent loadout with the following items.
Recommended loadout:
- Bettina / Hullcracker (IV preferred)
- Jupiter (optional)
- 5 stacks of ammo
- Medium Shield
- Surge Shield Rechargers
- Vitashot / Vita Spray / Herbal Bandages
Recommended strat:
- Head to the Riven Tides map during the Night Raid map event.
- Survive until the halfway mark (15-20 minutes) and look out for flying ARCs or sounds that trigger when this miniboss spawns.
- Let the Turbine land and open up its landing gear. Be wary when you try to get close to it because the miniboss deploys a widespread minefield in its vicinity.
- Hit the yellow cores visible near the center of the Turbine using a Bettina / Hullcracker / Jupiter.
- This ARC will fly up again once you start shooting the core. Take cover to avoid the seeking missiles that this ARC miniboss shoots. Wait for it to land to shoot it with a Bettina / Hullcracker or use the Jupiter to shoot its core while it is hovering.
- Repeat the steps until you acquire 4000 points.
4) Best ways to search for cars during Season 4 Week 8 Trials
Traffic tunnels in The Blue Gate map are the best area to scavenge loot from cars. The fourth challenge in Season 4 Week 8 Trials requires Raiders to loot car containers (hoods) to acquire a Trials score. The best way to maximise loot during this event is the Hidden Bunker map condition.
Acquiring four keys from Ancient Fort, Pilgrim’s Peak, Raider’s Refuge, and Reinforced Reception. Head to the Control Room to open the Locked Gates. This opens the path to the Traffic tunnels, where a Bastion patrols the perimeter.
You can bring a Deadline or a few Trailblazers to take it down. Next, you must unlock every available car container to maximise your Trials score during Season 4 Week 8 Trials. This challenge run can be done naked or with a free kit.
5) Damage multiple enemies with a Wolfpack in Season 4 Week 8 Trials
Farming Trials score by damaging multiple ARCs at once with a Wolfpack requires a few items to minimize overall resource expenditure. Head to any topside map to farm a few Snitch Scanners and extract with them. Now, let us have a look at the recommended loadout and strategy.
Recommended loadout:
- Anvil / Renegade / Bettina (IV preferred)
- Osprey (optional)
- Wolfpacks x2
- 4/5 stacks of Ammo
- Light / Medium Shield
- Shield Rechargers
- Normal / Herbal Bandages
Recommended strat:
- Spawn on Spaceport and head to the Launch Towers.
- Use all Snitch Scanners to call for ARC backup.
- Once all the Wasps and Hornets spawn, use your Wolfpack to destroy the entire Horde. If any of the flying ARCs are still alive, use a second Wolfpack to clear the wave.
- This will award your Trials score for this particular challenge in a short span of time.
- Use the Central Elevator to safely extract after gaining 3 stars in this task of Season 4 Week 8 Trials.
This concludes our coverage of ARC Raiders Season 4 Week 8 Trials. As always, remember to prioritize player safety over higher Trials scores since extraction back to Speranza is necessary in finalizing Trials scores.
