How to get three stars in ARC Raiders Week 19 Trials (March 9)

March 9 brings the second Monday of the month, and with it arrives the Week 19 Trials in ARC Raiders. The new set of trials has five tasks to complete if you want to get the best rewards.

As always, you’ll have to find some specific items and take down certain ARCs to complete the trials. Let’s look at all the activities that are part of the current trials.

ARC Raiders Week 19 Trials walkthrough

Here are the five tasks of the Week 19 Trials.

• Open containers inside the traffic tunnels
• Search Raider Caches
• Damage Rocketeers, Leapers, or Bastions
• Destroy Ticks
• Destroy ARC enemies in the Swamp

Open containers inside the traffic tunnels

To complete this task, you have to wait for the Locked Gate map event. This event takes place on the Blue Gate map. Here’s a complete guide about how to finish the task, but here’s a quick overview.

• Once the Locked Event is live, you’ll find four unique keys at the following spots: Reinforced Reception, Raider’s Refuge, Pilgrim’s Peak, and Ancient Fort. You have to search for the named POIs, as the exact location will be random.

• Head to the Checkpoint POI with all four keys to open the gates, and you’ll find the Traffic Tunnels. Take down the Bastion, and loot as many spots as you can. Opening ample numbers of vehicles, containers, and side bays will help you get three stars on this task.

Search Raider Caches

The spot for Raider Caches has not changed at all in Season 3. They can be found on all the maps, and they’re usually located on the outskirts. The following image has some of the key spots where you’ll be able to find caches on the Spaceport map.

Incidentally, the last major update in ARC Raiders has added something called First Wave Raider Caches. Finding these caches also counts towards completing this task.

Damage Rocketeers, Leapers, or Bastions

To complete this task, you have to damage and go up against some of the biggest ARCs in the game. While you can find them randomly on the map, the better alternative is to participate in a Matriarch event. You’ll always find all three by the Matriarch, and it’s the best way to rack up the necessary hits to get all three stars.

Weapons like the Jupiter and the Equalizer are great if you’ve found the Legendaries. However, you can also use the Hullcracker to do some major damage.

Destroy Ticks

This is an extremely simple task since Ticks are the weakest of all ARCs. You can destroy them with a single hit from any weapon or by smashing them with your pickaxe. They can be found on all maps, but you can raise the chances of encountering them on the Stella Montis map.

Open the rooms on Stella Montis, and you should encounter a fair number of them pretty quickly. You should be able to destroy the required number of Ticks in a few raids at most.

Destroy ARC enemies in the Swamp

For the last task of this week, head to the Swamp locations (marked in the image above) on the Dam Battlegrounds map. These will be the Hydrophonic Dome Complex, Old Battleground, and the South Swamp Outpost.

Once you’re in the areas, wait for an encounter with ARCs. Any ARC qualifies for the task, but you need to destroy them to make your work count for the trials.
