ARC Raiders New Trials Guide:Easy 3-Star Strategy, Best Routes, Locations, Fastest Way to Clear All Challenges & Store Update 1.41.0 Notes

Summary:

The latest ARC Raiders weekly Trials are here, featuring five new challenges including Hullcracker flying ARC damage, Snap Blast Grenade kills, Burn Nest searches, beach container looting, and ARC object searches. This guide covers the fastest ways to earn three stars, the best targets, farming locations, ARC Raiders Items, and Store Update 1.41.0 details, including new Vulpine outfit colors and Steam crash fixes.

1. Damage Flying ARC Using Hullcracker

The first Trial requires players to deal damage to flying ARC enemies using the Hullcracker weapon.

The easiest targets are:

Vaporizers

Rocketeers

Hornets

Wasps

Fireflies

Damage must come from the Hullcracker. Using other weapons or explosives will not count.

Large flying ARC enemies provide the most points:

Vaporizer:around 1,500 points

Rocketeer:around the same amount

Hornet:around 200 points

Wasp:around 150 points

To reach 3 stars, defeat around two large flying ARC enemies. Vaporizers and Rocketeers are the fastest options because they give huge progress per kill.

You can purchase the Hullcracker from the trader daily for 30,000 points, so prepare before starting.

2. Damage Flying ARC Using Snap Blast Grenades

This new Trial requires players to damage flying ARC enemies using Snap Blast Grenades.

Recommended targets:

Hornets

Wasps

Fireflies

Small flying enemies are easier because they move less unpredictably and require fewer grenades.

Point values:

Wasp:around 300 points

Hornet:around 600 points

You can also use Snap Blast Grenades against bigger enemies like Rocketeers, but hitting them consistently is much harder.

For an easier run:

Bring 10-15 Snap Blast Grenades

Focus on smaller flying ARC groups

Search areas with many ARC patrols, especially on Riven Tides

With enough grenades, reaching 3 stars only takes a few minutes.

3. Open Containers on the Beach in Riven Tides

This Trial can only be completed on Riven Tides.

Players need to open containers around beach areas, including:

Main beach zones

Azuro Beach

Coastal areas around Riven Tides

Each container gives around 200 points, requiring approximately 15 containers for 3 stars.

The Beachcomber condition can help because more containers may appear, but it is not required.

Focus on outdoor beach areas instead of large buildings like Port Authority, as those containers may not count.

4. Search ARC Probes, Couriers, and Assessors

This Trial requires searching ARC-related objects.

Possible targets:

ARC Probes

Couriers

Assessors

Each gives around 250 points, meaning roughly 12 searches are needed for 3 stars.

Prospecting Probes are usually the best option because one probe can often be searched multiple times.

Electromagnetic Storm also works because there are many probes available, but ground probes can only be searched once.

Avoid Assessors if possible, as their events are usually more dangerous and time-consuming.

5. Search Burn Nests in Buried City

The final Trial requires searching Burn Nests during the Buried City Burn City condition.

The best area is the residential side of the map.

Recommended locations:

Plaza Rosa

Red Tower area

Santa Maria houses

Piaza Roma

Look for houses with chimneys, where most nests appear.

Each Burn Nest gives around 160 points, so you need about 18-20 nests for 3 stars.

Even if another player searched a nest, you can still interact with it and receive points.

6. ARC Raiders Store Update 1.41.0

Alongside the new Trials, ARC Raiders has released Store Update 1.41.0.

The update adds two new Vulpine outfit color variants:

Green/Camo

Black

Players who already own the Vulpine outfit automatically receive the new colors, with no restart required.

ARC Raiders has also released a small Steam hotfix fixing various crashes and launch errors.

Final Tips for This Week's Trials

This week's ARC Raiders Trials are easier than many previous challenges. The only slightly annoying one is the Snap Blast Trial because missed grenades can waste resources, so players can use buy ARC Raiders Items to prepare better and complete the challenge efficiently.

For the fastest completion:

Bring enough Snap Blast Grenades

Use Hullcracker against large flying ARC enemies

Farm Riven Tides beaches for containers

Search Prospecting Probes whenever possible

Memorize Buried City residential areas for Burn Nests

With the right route and preparation, earning three stars on every Trial this week is quick and straightforward. These challenges are a great opportunity to gain rewards while improving your ARC hunting efficiency.
