ARC Raiders Solo Fireworks High Score Guide:135K+ Best Strategy, Hornet Farming & Map

Summary:

The latest Flying ARC fireworks strategy offers a safer alternative to repeatedly mounting Vaporizers. With the right ARC Raiders Items and careful positioning, you can farm Hornets for points while still using a Vaporizer when necessary. This method is especially useful for Trials where you need to reach a high score within a limited time.

1. Choose the Right Map

Husk Graveyard is the recommended mode because it has significantly more Hornet spawns than other modes. Spaceport is particularly useful because areas such as the Departure zone, lower AS6 roof, and central areas provide good visibility over multiple Hornet spawn points.

Regular modes can also work, but they usually contain fewer Hornets. If you use those maps, completing the required score through Hornets alone can take too long. In that situation, combine Hornet farming with Vaporizer damage.

2. Use Hornet Drivers Carefully

The key to this strategy is using Hornet Drivers when a Hornet is stunned. Wait until the Hornet becomes stationary before throwing the Driver. This gives you a much better chance of landing it correctly.

Try to bring the Hornet closer to the ground before triggering the stun. If it falls from too high, it can take unnecessary damage, reducing the points you receive.

Positioning also matters. Try to keep Hornets in open areas where you have a clear line of sight. Avoid letting them fly behind buildings or other obstacles.

3. Recommended Loadout

A low-damage pistol such as the Breléta is useful because it lets you interact with Hornets without dealing excessive damage. The goal is to preserve as much of their health as possible while maximizing Trial points.

An extended barrel can improve accuracy, while the Renegade helps attract Hornets from a distance. Bring 27 Firework Boxes for the Trial requirement.

A Photocloak provides an emergency escape option, while a Snap Hook gives you additional mobility and can still be useful for Vaporizer interactions.

For backup damage, Showstoppers are convenient because they stack higher than Hornet Drivers. However, Hornet Drivers can also be used if you want a less aggressive option when you buy ARC Raiders Items.

4. When to Use a Vaporizer

Hornets are safer and more consistent for this method, but relying on them exclusively may make the Trial difficult within the time limit.

If possible, complete one Vaporizer early. A successful Vaporizer can provide several points quickly, leaving fewer Hornets to handle afterward. Afterward, return to Hornet farming while waiting for another opportunity.

5. Final Tips

Avoid rushing your Hornet Driver throws. Wait for the stun, position the Hornet at a manageable height, and place the Firework correctly.

Bring healing materials and play cautiously because farming Fireworks can be time-consuming. The goal is not necessarily to achieve the absolute maximum score, but to complete the Trial consistently.

With good positioning and some favorable RNG, this Hornet-focused strategy can reach around 135K+ points while being considerably safer than relying entirely on Vaporizer mounting.
