ARC Raiders Latest Blaze Grenade Trial Guide: Maximize Your Score with This 30K+ Strategy

Summary:

The Blaze Grenade Trial is one of the most resource-intensive challenges in ARC Raiders. Farming enough materials and ARC Raiders Items to craft dozens of Blaze Grenades can take hours, so having an efficient strategy is essential. After extensive testing, one player discovered which enemies provide the best score, where to farm crafting materials, and how a Bombardier-focused route can earn over 20,000 points—even if the run doesn't go perfectly.

1. Know Which Enemies Are Worth Your Grenades

Not every ARC enemy gives good value for your Blaze Grenades. Some enemies absorb multiple grenades while rewarding very few Trial points.

Based on testing, these were the most efficient targets:

• Bombardier – Around 4,000 points with 5–7 Blaze Grenades.

• Bastion – Around 3,000 points but requires more grenades.

• Matriarch Core – Highest point efficiency if you can damage the exposed core safely.

• Queen – Decent score, but less efficient than Bombardiers.

On the other hand, enemies like Surveyors, Turbines, and Hornets simply aren't worth targeting if your goal is maximizing Trial points.

2. Bombardiers Should Be Your Priority

The biggest takeaway from the testing is simple: focus on Bombardiers whenever possible.

Compared to other enemies, Bombardiers offer an excellent balance between health and score. They can usually be eliminated with around five Blaze Grenades while rewarding roughly 4,000 Trial points.

Bastions are still useful secondary targets, but their heavy armor means you'll spend more grenades for fewer points overall.

3. Farm Blaze Grenade Materials Efficiently

Crafting enough Blaze Grenades is often the hardest part of the challenge. Instead of relying on random drops, the guide recommends farming specific locations.

The two most consistent routes are:

Bluegate

• Checkpoint area.

• Traffic Tunnels.

• Focus on lockers and brown breachable crates.

Dam Battlegrounds

• Hydro Domes.

• Controlled Access Zone.

• Power Generation Complex.

Look for items such as Water Pumps, Coolant, Crude Explosives, Explosive Compound, and Polluted Air Filters, all of which contribute to crafting materials or salvage into oil.

4. Positioning Is More Important Than Damage

Simply throwing Blaze Grenades isn't enough.

The strategy relies on keeping Bombardiers standing inside the burning area for as long as possible. If they move too frequently, much of the fire damage is wasted.

The ideal approach is to stay just visible enough that the enemy continues targeting you without constantly repositioning. This allows both the grenade impact and the lingering flames to deal maximum damage.

5. Avoid the Mistakes That Ended the Run

Although the strategy worked well, the run ultimately ended because of overconfidence.

Instead of playing safely behind cover, the player stayed exposed while trying to finish another Bombardier. Running out of healing items and taking unnecessary damage resulted in losing the remaining Blaze Grenades before extraction.

The lesson is straightforward:

• Don't rush kills.

• Keep enough healing supplies.

• Use cover between grenade throws.

• Leave dangerous fights if resources are running low.

Playing patiently often produces a higher final score than forcing one more rotation.

Final Thoughts

Despite ending with an unfortunate death, the strategy still produced 20,000 Trial points with plenty of Blaze Grenades left unused, suggesting that a clean run could exceed 30,000 points.

If you're attempting the Blaze Grenade Trial, prioritize Bombardiers, use efficient farming routes to stockpile materials, and stay disciplined during combat. Players who prefer to buy ARC Raiders Items instead of farming every resource can also save time preparing for the challenge. Either way, a safer approach may not look as exciting, but it's the most reliable way to turn expensive Blaze Grenades into a high-scoring run.
