Summary
The latest ARC Raiders weekly reset introduces a new batch of Trials, refreshed Air Miles rewards, and another Expedition reset on the horizon. If you're looking to maximize progression before the next cycle begins, this week's objectives are well worth completing. Some challenges can be finished in just a few runs, while others offer excellent point farming if you know the right strategy.
1. Complete the easiest objectives first
The Buried City Hospital container challenge is one of the quickest objectives available, but its score is capped. Finish it early, claim the rewards, and shift your focus to Trials that allow continuous progress.
The melee Arc damage challenge is one of the best opportunities to earn points quickly. Bastions and Matriarchs remain the safest high-health targets because they can survive multiple melee attacks. Bringing mobility tools like the Snap Hook and Photo Cloak makes these encounters much easier, allowing you to deal consistent damage while avoiding unnecessary deaths.
The Explosive Mine objective also rewards smart preparation. Instead of placing mines one at a time, stack several together and lure Arc enemies into the trap. Damaging multiple enemies simultaneously is far more efficient than hunting individual targets.
2. Farm the right locations
Searching computers is another important objective this week. Spaceport continues to be the best location thanks to its high concentration of offices and technology areas, while Stella Montes serves as a solid backup option.
Keep in mind that not every computer can be searched during Trial events. Only specific terminals count toward progress, so don't waste time checking every room. Following a fast Spaceport loot route remains the most reliable farming method.
For the Light Impact Grenade challenge, Buried City and Riven Tide offer plenty of Ticks, Pops, and Fireballs to eliminate. Since these grenades are inexpensive to craft or purchase, this objective is one of the easiest three-star completions available this week.
3. Prepare before the Expedition reset
Expedition departures now happen in waves instead of everyone resetting at the same moment. Before your departure arrives, it's worth clearing excess gear from your stash. Many veteran players choose to help newer Raiders by giving away equipment, while others simply use their strongest loadouts before everything resets. Either approach prevents valuable gear from sitting unused.
4. Solo matchmaking continues to divide the community
Although the developers have explained that solo players should be matched with squads that fit their personal playstyle, many experienced Raiders continue reporting encounters with highly aggressive PvP teams despite primarily playing PvE.
This has become one of the biggest community discussions alongside ongoing concerns about cheating and shrinking player populations. Whether the matchmaking system is functioning as intended or simply struggling with lower player counts, solo players should still expect unpredictable encounters and prepare accordingly.
5. Final thoughts
This week's reset of ARC Raiders Items offers several quick and rewarding trials that can significantly boost your progress before the next expedition begins.. Prioritize the capped objectives first, farm Spaceport for searchable computers, use melee and explosive challenges to earn easy points, and organize your inventory before your Expedition departure. Completing everything early will give you a much stronger start when the next progression cycle begins.
