This article sheds light on the best ways to obtain three stars in Season 5 Week 6 of ARC Raiders Trials.

ARC Raiders Trials Season 5 Week 6 (August 11 – 18, 2026): How to get 3 stars in every challenge

Let us take a look at all the challenges players must complete this week in ARC Raiders Trials:

• Search ARC Probes, Couriers, and Assessors
• Loot bird’s nests
• Damage Flying ARC using Snap Blast
• Open containers on the beach in Riven Tides
• Damage Flying ARC using Hullcracker

1) Best ways to open ARC probes during Season 5 Week 6

The first challenge in this week’s Trials activity requires Raiders to interact with ARC Probes. Since Assessors found during Close Scrutiny are much riskier due to the presence of multiple Vaporizers and flying ARC threats, we chose a safer route so players can complete this challenge with three stars.

Recommended loadout:

• Anvil / Bettina
• 4 stacks of Heavy Ammo
• Light / Medium Shield
• Shield Rechargers
• Herbal Bandages
• 30 Adrenaline Shots (optional)

Recommended strat:

• Head to the Spaceport map and find the closest probe to your spawn location.
• Use the map listed above to follow the route and interact with Probes.
• Take note of all the elevator timings to set a proper path through the map.
• Breach every possible ARC probe to acquire Trials score. It is not a compulsion to loot all the items inside Probes or Couriers.
• Utilize at least 30 Adrenaline Shots to keep sprinting from one Probe to the next.
• Interact with already breached containers to acquire bonus Trials points
• Repeat this until you reach the 4000 score threshold.

2) Best way to loot bird’s nests during Season 5 Week 6

For the second challenge in Season 5 Week 6 ARC Raiders Trials, we head to Buried City during the Bird City map condition. During this event, you must interact with Bird nests across multiple rooftops to acquire Trial scores. Here is a recommended loadout and route to ensure you grab all nests for the best Trials scores.

Recommended Loadout:

• Anvil / Ferro
• Any PvP weapon of choice
• Light / Medium Shield
• Shield Rechargers
• Herbal Bandages
• 15x Adrenaline Shots (optional)
• 6x Ziplines (optional)
• Snap Hook (optional)

Recommended strat:

• Head to the Buried City during Bird City map condition, and climb to your nearest roof with bird nests.
• Interact with the nests and then follow the loop around these Points of Interest.
• Plaza Rosa > Church Ruins > Piazza Arbusto > Town Hall > Corso Da Vinci > Santa Maria Houses > Main Street.
• Make sure to set up Ziplines or use Snap Hook to maintain your elevated position on the rooftops.
• Watch out for Rockeeteers and keep a couple of Wolfpacks ready in case of an emergency.
• Do note that Bird nests do not respawn, so you must interact with empty nests if necessary to grab the Trials score

3) Best way to damage Flying ARC using Snap Blast for Season 5 Week 6

Snap Blast is an uncommon rarity throwable item that deals 70 damage and has a range of 7.5m. This week, you must use these throwables to damage Flying ARCs. Here is the crafting recipe for Snap Blasts:

• 2X Crude Explosives
• 1x Magnet

You obtain 3 points per 1 damage dealt to a flying ARC using the Snap Blast. This means that one Snap Blast will net you around 210 points. Therefore, you will need almost 20 Snap Blasts to earn 4000 points or three stars in this challenge.

4) Best ways to open containers on the beach in Riven Tides for Season 5 Week 6

For this specific activity in ARC Raiders Trials, one must open containers in the beachfront area of the Riven Tides map. This activity can be completed using a free loadout, as Raiders just need to interact with containers to attain points.

Recommended Loadout:

• Anvil
• 2 Stacks of Ammo
• Light
• Shield Rechargers
• Bandages
• Dockmaster’s Detector (x2)

Your primary objective is to head to the beach on the north side of the Wavebreaker and Port Authority building. Use the Dockmaster’s Detector to uncover containers and interact with them. Do note that sometimes, unearthing items will reveal mines. Do not try to dodge out of the way. Instead, defuse the mine and look for another container.

Each container awards 200 Points. Therefore, you must unearth and interact with 20 containers to acquire 3 stars or 4000 Trials points.

5) Best ways to damage ARCs inside the walls during Season 5 Week 6

This week, Raiders must damage flying ARCs with Hullcrackers. Doing so is quite easy but requires a decent chunk of money for the full loadout. Let us take a look at the recommended loadout and strategy.

Recommended loadout:

• Renegade
• Hullcracker
• 3 stacks of ammunition each
• 2x Wolfpacks (optional)
• Snitch Scanners (optional)
• Medium Shield
• Shield Rechargers / Surge Shield Rechargers
• Herbal Bandages / Sterilized Bandage / Vita Spray

Recommended strat:

• Head to the Spaceport and go inside the walls. Make your way to the Launch Towers.
• Start shooting all the flying ARCs you can spot. Use your Renegade to lure flying ARCs in the distance and then finish them off with Hullcracker once they are close
• Raiders can also trigger Snitches or Snitch Scanners to call for backup. This way, an additional flying ARC will spawn.
• You can also lure Rocketeers or Vaporizers, but that introduces a ton of risk with higher chances of failure.

You earn 1 point for 1 damage dealt to flying ARCs using Hullcracker. Therefore, you must deal 4000 damage to earn three stars in this ARC Raiders Trial activity.
