RSVSR Guide: How to Complete ARC Raiders Weekly Trials Fast
Five objectives, one week, and a 4,000-point ceiling per Trial that resets the moment you bleed out before extraction. That’s the math facing anyone grinding the May 11 to May 18 rotation, and honestly, it punishes greed harder than most people expect. If you’re stocking up on mid-range automatics or sustained-DPS rifles for the beach push, grabbing a loadout through a trusted source to buy ARC Raiders weapons can shave hours off the prep grind, especially when Vaporizer objectives demand more bullets than your cache run can supply. The point isn’t to rush. It’s to route smart.
Breaking Down This Week’s ARC Raiders Weekly Trials
The May 11 rotation leans heavily on Riven Tides coastal zones, which means your usual bunker route probably isn’t going to cut it. Five objectives split between combat and scavenging, each contributing toward that 4,000-point three-star tier.
Combat Objectives: Beaches, Vaporizers, Fireflies
Fireflies are the easiest tick on the board. Low health, often airborne or skittering across sand, and they melt to a half-mag from any decent automatic. Vaporizers are the opposite story – stationary, tougher, and they soak damage like a sponge. Bring a light machine gun or a heavy rifle. Burst builds with tiny mags will leave you reloading mid-fight, which on a Riven Tides beach is basically a death sentence.
Scavenging Objectives: Caches, Probes, Couriers, Assessors
Raider Caches sit in residential and supply zones. ARC Probes and Couriers favor traversal corridors and the industrial outskirts. Assessors are the spicy ones – high reward, high risk, and they offer multiple interaction points per spawn, so a single Assessor encounter can dump serious progress into your Trial bar if you survive the engagement.
Routing and Risk in the ARC Raiders Weekly Trials
Here’s where most players lose the week: they treat each Trial as a separate raid. Bad idea. The fastest path stacks two or three objectives per loop and extracts the moment you’ve banked meaningful progress.
A Practical Stacking Order
1) Drop into a Riven Tides coastal spawn with a sustained-DPS primary.
2) Clear three to four Fireflies on approach, then push the nearest Vaporizer cluster.
3) Loop inland through a supply zone for two Raider Caches.
4) Tag any ARC Probe or Courier you cross – don’t detour more than 50 meters for one.
5) Extract. Don’t chase that fifth objective. Come back next raid.
The Single Raid Risk Rule, Honestly
Progress only locks if you extract. Die, and the run’s contribution to that 4,000-point threshold evaporates. From what I’ve seen, most failed Trial weeks come down to one greedy push too many – usually an Assessor fight that goes sideways. Personally, I’d rather extract at 60% capacity twice than wipe at 95% once.
Gaps, Myths, and What the Patch Notes Don’t Tell You
Squad Interactions Are Murky
The official notes don’t clarify whether damage and search ticks are individual or shared. From group testing, damage seems to credit the dealer, while search interactions reward the first hand on the object. Translation: coordinate caches with your squad or you’ll be racing your own teammate to a Probe.
Common Myths Worth Killing
- Myth: high-tier weapons grant bonus Trial points. No evidence supports this.
- Myth: bunker routes still work. They don’t this week – coastal density is where the math favors you.
If you’re short on time and want to skip the gear-prep slog, picking up materials or a fresh loadout through RSVSR lets you focus the actual hours on Trial completion rather than scavenging filler – a trade-off worth considering before the rotation flips next Monday and these objectives disappear for good.
