ARC Raiders Trials Weekly Guide (July 27 – August 2): New Trial Missions, Irma's Office Rewards, and Anti-Cheat Concerns Explained

1. ARC Raiders Weekly Overview: New Trials and Valuable Rewards

The latest ARC Raiders weekly reset (July 27–August 2) brings a fresh set of Trial missions alongside new rewards available through Irma's Office. This week's objectives focus on container looting, cache searching, enemy-specific challenges, and weapon-based combat tasks. Most objectives are straightforward, allowing players to complete multiple Trials efficiently with a well-planned route.

Among the week's most valuable rewards are the Blaze Grenade Blueprint and the Military Green Face Paint, both of which are valuable ARC Raiders Items, making this an excellent opportunity to unlock useful equipment while progressing through your weekly Trials.

2. Weekly Trial Missions (July 27 – August 2)

Open Containers in Bluegate's Traffic Tunnel:

One of the easiest objectives this week requires players to open containers inside the Traffic Tunnel on the Bluegate map.

Recommended strategy:

• Bring enough keys before entering the raid.

• Prioritize locked containers as soon as you arrive.

• Plan your extraction route to avoid unnecessary backtracking.

Since this is a low-risk looting objective, it's one of the fastest Trials to complete.

Search Radar Caches:

Radar Cache objectives encourage exploration but are relatively simple if you know what to look for.

Tips for faster completion:

• Listen carefully for the distinctive ticking sound.

• Search areas where Radar Caches commonly spawn.

• Move quickly between cache locations instead of clearing every enemy.

Combining this objective with your normal loot route is an efficient way to finish the challenge without extending your raid time.

3. Damage ARC Enemies with a Single Blaze Grenade

This is one of the week's most important objectives because it directly complements the Blaze Grenade Blueprint reward.

For the best results:

• Unlock or craft Blaze Grenades before attempting the Trial.

• Visit locations with large enemy groups.

• Wait until several ARC enemies gather before throwing the grenade.

A highly efficient strategy is to:

• Use a Lure Grenade to attract multiple enemies.

• Throw a Blaze Grenade into the clustered group.

• Target enemies that can summon additional units to maximize damage from a single throw.

Take Damage from Pops:

This week's unique Trial asks players to intentionally take damage from Pops.

Best location:

• Stella Montes

Why Stella Montes?

• Higher Pops spawn density.

• Frequent respawns.

• Easy to repeat during farming routes.

Keep your health and shield under control so you can survive the required hits and continue progressing through the rest of your objectives.

Damage Wasps Using Light Ammo:

This weapon-specific Trial can be completed quickly with the right loadout.

Recommended weapons:

• Kettle

• Bobcat 4

Recommended map:

• Bluegate

Additional tips:

• Equip Light Ammo weapons before entering the raid.

• Use Snitch Scanners if available to increase enemy encounters.

• Fight in open areas where Wasps are easier to track and eliminate.

With upgraded weapons, this Trial can usually be completed in only a few encounters.

4. Irma's Office Rewards This Week

Military Green Face Paint:

This cosmetic reward features a military-style camouflage appearance and is relatively easy to obtain. It's a nice bonus for players interested in customization.

Bobcat 4:

Bobcat 4 is one of this week's most useful rewards because it fires Light Ammo, making it perfect for completing the Wasp Trial.

Required materials:

• Film Reel

• Statue

• Magnetron

If you're progressing through this week's Trials, unlocking Bobcat 4 early is highly recommended.

Blaze Grenade Blueprint:

The Blaze Grenade Blueprint is arguably the most valuable reward available this week since it significantly improves Trial completion speed.

Required materials:

• Fireball Burner ×12

• Firefly Burner ×9

• Comet Igniter ×3

Material farming tips:

• Prioritize hunting Fireballs, Fireflies, and Comets.

• Plan efficient farming routes before crafting.

• Unlock the blueprint as early as possible to make the grenade-related Trial much easier.

5. Anti-Cheat Remains the Community's Biggest Concern

While this week's content offers plenty of progression opportunities, many players remain focused on the game's anti-cheat situation.

Current community discussions center around:

• Increasing reports of cheating.

• Weaknesses in the anti-cheat system.

• Alleged abuse of an "unban player" function.

• Concerns over account security and internal permission management.

For a PvPvE extraction shooter like ARC Raiders, maintaining a fair matchmaking environment is essential for long-term player retention. Many players hope future updates will prioritize stronger anti-cheat measures alongside new gameplay content.

6. Matchmaking Feedback: Solo Players Continue to Benefit

Recent community feedback suggests that matchmaking has become more favorable for solo players in many regions, with fewer hostile player encounters during raids.

As a result, players are experiencing:

• Safer loot runs.

• More flexible loadouts.

• A smoother experience for newcomers and casual players.

Although these improvements are welcome, the community continues to emphasize the importance of consistent updates, effective anti-cheat protection, and a clear long-term development roadmap.

7. Weekly Priority Checklist

To maximize your rewards this week, follow this progression order:

1. Unlock the key rewards from Irma's Office.

2. Craft the Blaze Grenade Blueprint as early as possible.

3. Complete the Bluegate, Radar Cache, Pops, and Wasp Trials.

4. Finish farming the remaining crafting materials and weapon upgrades.

Following this order will help you complete the week's objectives efficiently while unlocking some of the most useful rewards available during the July 27–August 2 rotation. If you're looking for additional gear beyond what you earn in-game, you can also explore ARC Raiders Items for sale to further strengthen your loadout.
