Mastering ARC Raiders Season 2 Week 2 Trials: The Path to 3-Stars

ARC Raiders surges to peak players amid Season 2 hype. Week 2 Trials blend PvE grind with leaderboard pressure, offering epic cosmetics for top ranks. Snowballs at flying foes sound whimsical—until erratic dodges tank your score. Consensus builds: 3-stars demand fresh maps, 2x modifiers like Cold Snap, and extract savvy. Can solo raiders top boards without squads?

Editor's Note: MMOJUGG distilled this 5-minute guide from Legacy Gaming's full breakdown, The Gaming Merchant's 2-match mastery, and Cloud Plays' exploit alerts. Watch original videos to support creators:

Trial Basics: Points, Modifiers & Prep

Hit 4,000 points per trial for 3-stars. Points scale with actions; 2x multipliers on events like Cold Snap, Night Raids, Electromagnetic Storm, or Hidden Bunker double yields.

Load fresh raids (under 30-min timer) for max respawns. Extract late—post-player exodus—for safety. Solo tip: Prioritize sheltered spots to dodge frostbite in Cold Snap.

Playstyle Analysis: Casual: Chain low-contest probes/fireballs. Hardcore: Stack snowballs for 100k+ exploits.

MMOJUGG Tip: Unmentioned risk—mid-raid joins miss early spawns, slashing 50% points; optimal path: Queue during off-peak for uncontested 2x maps.

Throw Snowballs at Rocketeers: Ground & Bombard

Cold Snap exclusive. Snow piles near buildings/extracts yield 1 snowball; respawn after 2-sec wait for infinite farm. Each hit: 250 base points. Stock 20-25 initially.

Consistent Grounding

Target 2 thrusters (same side) with medium ammo. Drops immobile for throws.

Trap Spot

Damn Battlegrounds Testing Annex underside—barricades break LOS, slows Rocketeer. Sheltered, no frostbite.

Exploit (Watch Nerfs)

Showstopper stuns mid-air; flip lands prone. Trio: 150 snowballs = 100k+.

MMOJUGG Tip: Videos skip: Prolonged throws overheat Rocketeer (1 dmg/hit), risking early explode—pause every 10 hits, reposition.

Deal Damage to Shredders: Thruster Hunts on Stella Montis

Shredders spawn only here. ~1,400 pts/kill base; 3 for 3-stars in 2x (Night Raid ideal).

Top Routes (High-Yield)

1. Sandbox A/B → Control Room → Seed Vault.

2. Cultural Archives → Business Center → Lobby.

Kill Methods

• Weapons: Anvil/Il Toro/Pharaoh on 3 thrusters.

• Explosives: 2 Snap Blasts or 5 Impacts bottom; loot Synthesized Fuel in lobby.

Circle-peek cover; hide on attack cue. Loot gyros, shotgun ammo. Solo: Low-contest Medical/Assembly.

MMOJUGG Tip: Risk unnoted—gyro loot alerts nearby raiders via sound; optimal: Extract mid-rotation if >2 kills, bank points early.

Damage Flying ARC Enemies: Scanner Swarms & High-Ground

Wasps, Hornets, Snitches, Rocketeers. 2x events amplify.

Casual Farm

Spaceport Hidden Bunker—Pharaoh wasps/hornets solo.

Hardcore Strategy

Deploy Snitch Scanners safe zone (tens of thousands pts). Or high-ground Snitch waves spawn wasps/hornets. Trio split: One scanners, others Rocketeers.

MMOJUGG Tip: Potential pitfall—scanner noise draws PvP; path: Deploy behind barricades, monitor minimap.

Open ARC Probes & Destroy Fireballs: Quick Rotations

Probes (667/1,334 pts): Loot any container (post-breach OK). Spot smoke pillars.

• Casual: Prospecting Probes chain.

• Pro: Electromagnetic Storm Damn Battlegrounds—crashed probes everywhere.

Fireballs (740/1,480 pts): 6 kills.

• Buried City: Metros (train-cross), Hospital/Galleria/Library.

• Blue Gate tunnels; Stella (Sandbox/Archives).

2-Match Efficiency: Match 1 (Cold Snap Buried City): Snowballs/Flies/Probes/Fireballs. Match 2: Stella Night Shredders.

MMOJUGG Tip: Fireball patrols sync with trains—unmentioned: Time throws during metro calls to ambush 2+ at once.

ARC Raiders Season 2 Week 2 Trials FAQs

How do I reliably ground a Rocketeer for snowball throws?

Shoot exactly two thrusters on one side using precise medium/heavy fire. Avoid body shots to prevent explosion. Alternative: Showstopper stun, but thrusters offer control. Stock snowballs via 2-sec respawns. Position elevated for arcs. Expect 9k+ solo points; trios scale exponentially. Pro tip: Test in low-stakes raid first.

What weapons and tactics work best against Shredders?

Prioritize thruster weakpoints. Top picks: Anvil, Il Toro, Hole Cracker. Explosives like Snap Blasts excel stationary. Tactic: Cover circle—peek shoot, duck beam windup. Night Raid Stella halves kills needed. Loot sustains ammo. Avoid open fields; use building pillars.

Which maps maximize points for damaging flying ARC enemies?

2x modifiers: Spaceport Hidden Bunker (casual wasps). Hardcore: Anywhere with Rocketeers + Snitch Scanners. High-ground Snitch kills spawn waves. Points: Rocketeer > Wasp. Monitor for Cold Snap Rocketeer dips. Extract scanner farm post-20k to avoid collapse rushes.

Must I personally breach ARC Probes for credit?

No—interact/loot any opened container. Electromagnetic Storm litters damaged ones (smoke pillars). Minimap pings nearby. Prospecting shows drops. 3 loots = 3-stars base; 2x pushes 4+. Squad split covers map faster, but solo viable via smoke scans.

What's the fastest route to destroy 6 Fireballs?

Buried City metros: Enter underground, kill 4/entrances, train to opposite. Supplement Hospital/Galleria. Blue Gate tunnels patrol-heavy. Stella chains Shredders. Ignore loot—pure speed. 2x yields ~9k. Risk: High-traffic; rotate off-meta POIs.

Can all Week 2 Trials be 3-starred in 2 matches solo?

Yes: Match 1 Cold Snap Buried City—Rocketeer/snowballs → flies → probes → fireballs. Match 2 Stella Night: 3 Shredders route. Prep: 20 snowballs, thruster ammo. Extracts key; late pull minimizes PvP.
