ARC Raiders Season 4 Week 10: How to earn three stars

Season 4 Week 10 Trials are now active in ARC Raiders. Trials unlock at player level 15 and offer five weekly challenges. Each challenge awards up to three stars as players reach point thresholds. Stars give immediate rewards and accumulated points place players on a 100-player leaderboard within their current rank.

The developer refreshes the Trials every week. Stars and weekly points determine rank movement: the top 20 players on each leaderboard receive a double promotion when ranks reset, the next 30 receive a single promotion, and the bottom 20 are demoted. Progress for any challenge only counts if the player extracts successfully at the end of a run.

This week’s five challenges ask players to damage Hornets; damage Leapers, Bastions and Bombardiers; damage ARC enemies with light impact grenades; open containers in the Traffic Tunnels on Blue Gate; and search kitchen cabinets in residential areas.

For the Hornet damage challenge, spawn conditions that increase Hornet numbers include night raids, electromagnetic storms and hidden bunker events. Players can increase damage output by using seeker grenades and hullcrackers. A well-equipped run can yield more than 10–15 Hornet kills; remember to extract so the damage registers.

The Leapers, Bastions and Bombardiers task awards points for damaging or killing those enemy types. Higher-ranked players commonly combine several large ARC kills in one run to stack points. For most players, damaging or killing a single Bombardier or Bastion can meet the roughly 4,000-point threshold needed for three stars.

The light impact grenade challenge is most efficient when aimed at large ARC units such as Bastions and Bombardiers. Place grenades on these targets and avoid taking damage while they are active. Concentrating on a few high-value targets per run is more efficient than spreading explosives across small enemies.

The container-search challenge takes place in the underground Traffic Tunnels of the Blue Gate map. Any lootable container counts, including car hoods, garbage bins, lockers, breached boxes, cabinets and shelves. Moving methodically through tunnel levels reduces backtracking and speeds completion.

The kitchen cabinet search is best completed by running residential areas on maps with dense housing spawns. Blue Gate and Dam Battlegrounds have multiple linked residential zones and consistent cabinet spawns. Follow a route through apartments and houses to hit the required number of cabinets in one run.

Players aiming for high leaderboard placement should plan routes that target multiple trial objectives in a single run, manage consumables to limit repeat attempts and always extract to register progress. Reaching three stars and accumulating strong weekly points increases the chance of finishing in the top 20 and receiving the two-rank promotion when Trials reset.
