ARC Raiders week 18 Trials are in full swing, following the recent expedition that concluded on March 1, 2026. With the release of the Shrouded Sky update, the new Trials objectives offer a fresh set of challenges for players. The good news is that these challenges are relatively straightforward and can be completed using basic kits. In this article, we will delve into the details of the ARC Raiders week 18 Trials and provide tips on how to achieve three stars in each activity.
The latest batch of ARC Raiders Trials began on March 2, 2026, and will run until March 9, 2026. This week introduces a series of new challenges that involve minor map conditions and map-specific activities. Here is a breakdown of the challenges players need to complete for week 18 Trials:
– Damage Leapers
– Loot bird’s nests
– Damage Spotters
– Open ARC Probes
– Search containers in the Medical Research wing
To tackle the challenge of damaging Leapers, players should equip themselves with an Anvil, Ferro, or Renegade loadout, along with ample ammunition, shields, and healing supplies. By luring Leapers to strategic locations and utilizing Blaze Grenades or heavy ammo, players can take down these agile minibosses and complete the task.
Next, looting bird’s nests in Bird City requires a different approach. Players should utilize ziplines and elevated positions to navigate the map efficiently while avoiding ground-based ARC threats. By following a specific loop around Points of Interest and staying vigilant, players can maximize their loot from bird nests and earn Trials points.
When it comes to damaging Spotters, players must target these flying ARC units that assist Bombardiers in combat. By strategically locating and eliminating Spotters in conjunction with Bombardiers, players can complete this challenge effectively. The key is to maintain cover and repeat the process as Spotters respawn.
Opening ARC probes in the Spaceport map involves mapping out a route to interact with multiple probes efficiently. Equipping the right loadout and staying on the move during an Electromagnetic Storm will help players breach probes and earn Trials points swiftly.
Lastly, searching containers in the Medical Research wing of Stella Montis presents a PvP-intensive challenge. Players must navigate carefully through the area, avoiding hostile ARC units while looting interactable containers to accumulate Trials points.
In conclusion, mastering the week 18 Trials in ARC Raiders requires strategic planning, efficient gameplay, and a balance between offense and defense. By following the recommended loadouts and strategies for each challenge, players can maximize their chances of earning three stars in every activity. Remember to prioritize survival and adapt to the dynamic gameplay environment to achieve success in the Trials.
