Season 1 Week 7 trials in ARC Raiders can look rough at first glance, but once you know where to go and what to farm, it turns into a pretty chill way to push rating and stock up on ARC Raiders Items. If you have just dinged level 15 and unlocked Trials, do not rush in blind. The scoring is all about clean runs, grabbing three stars on each challenge, and not wasting time on fights that do not move your points bar. Aim for that top 20 spot each week and you will notice how fast those rank promotions stack up.

Farm Ticks, Fireballs And Pops

Most people stumble on the “destroy Ticks, Fireballs and Pops” objective, especially solo. The trick is to stop roaming aimlessly. Dam Battlegrounds and Stella Montis are usually the safest bets, because you get clusters of these mobs around Research, Admin and other high tier loot spots. In Buried City, they love hanging around extraction zones and POIs like the Hospital, but it is busier there, so expect more player pressure. Plan a simple loop: land, clear one hotspot, swing to the next, then extract once you have hit your target. Do not hang around waiting for perfect drops; you are chasing stars, not a museum tour.

Supply Drops Without The Headache

The “Search Supply Drops” part looks harmless on paper and then ends up wiping half the lobby. You only need three, but the safest way is to run solo on Spaceport and treat it like a quick errand. Hit a call station, press the button, then play it calm while the drop comes in. Use cover, watch for third parties, and breach the crate as soon as it lands. Yes, you can loot drops that someone else called, but that usually means you are crashing someone’s party and you will get deleted for it. Calling your own drops, one after another, keeps you in control and lets you bail the second you have ticked off the objective.

Dealing With Wasps And Bastions

For the “Damage Wasps” challenge, do not overthink it. Queue into a night raid or an electromagnetic storm and bring seeker nades, a hullcracker or an Anvil if you can afford it. You will notice pretty quick that these setups melt hornets. Wiping 10 to 15 in a single run is very doable, but there is a catch: you have to extract or it does not count, so do not stay out just to style on one more swarm. The Bastion objective sounds nastier than it is. You only need to kill one. In a night raid, grab two wolfpack grenades, find a Bastion, stack the nades, and back off. With the night multiplier, that single kill gives great points for almost no risk.

Queens, Matriarchs And Pushing The Leaderboard

Queens and Matriarchs look like the “do not even try this” bosses, but the challenge is way softer than the name suggests. You only need to land damage, not secure the kill, so solo lobbies are your friend because people usually play more chilled around the big ones. Take something that hits hard, like a Jupiter or Equaliser, tag the boss a few times, then watch the room and decide if it is worth sticking around. If other raiders show up and the fight turns into chaos, just peel off and extract with your progress. String these runs together over the week, and you will see your rank climb steadily while you quietly pile up cheap ARC Raiders Items along the way.
