ARC Raiders Week 12 Trials (Jan. 12) – How to get three stars (Season 2 Week 4)

The fourth set of weekly trials in ARC Raiders is now live, and we have five different tasks to complete.

As usual, some of the tasks involve taking down ARCs, while the rest are about decoding specific puzzles. All but one of the five tasks can be completed in any map condition. Let’s look at how to get three stars for maximum rewards.

There are five tasks to complete in Week 12.

• Deliver carriables
• Damage Rocketeers
• Destroy Pops
• Download information inside the bunker
• Damage Hornets

Deliver carriables

The first task requires you to carry crates to specific locations. You can find these crates on any map, but ideally, you should combine this with the fourth task. When the Hidden Bunker modifier is active, you get 45 minutes instead of 30.

The extra time is immensely helpful since your movement speed will reduce while you’re carrying the Field Crate. I have marked the location of the Field Depots that you can find on Spaceport in the image above. However, you’ll also find Field Depots on the other maps (if you don’t want to play on Spaceport).

Damage Rocketeers

After hitting the Rocketeer with snowballs in previous weeks, we have to do actual damage now. This won’t be easy, as Rocketeers are the deadliest aerial ARCs. They have precise rockets that can do a lot of damage. I have found them commonly outside the Reinforced Reception location on Blue Gate, but they’re on other maps, too.

While there are no ‘cheat’ tactics to adopt, you’ll want to ideally play in a squad, shoot, and then constantly be on the move. Having a shelter is also going to be helpful to prevent the Rocketeer from locking on to you.

Destroy Pops

The best map for this task is Stella Montis. Pops roam around freely through the corridors, and you can then eliminate them to complete the tasks. Their outer armor is pretty weak, so you won’t need to do much to complete the job.

Download information inside the bunker

This is going to be the hardest task to complete this week, and it could force you to take part in PvP. The secret or Hidden Bunker is a special location on Spaceport. You can only access the location when the Hidden Bunker map condition is active. I have marked its location.

However, you won’t want to go directly to the marked location. Instead, you’ll first have to find four antennas. These antennas will be marked on the map, and anyone can activate them. Once all four antennas are active, it will open the locked door of the Hidden Bunker.

Inside, you’ll find terminals. Interact with a terminal to complete the data download. Repeat this process, and you’ll eventually get three stars. Additionally, if someone from your squad downloads the data, that will also count.

Damage Hornets

Hornets are pretty common, and you can find one pretty easily in the open. My favorite map for spotting them is Blue Gate, but they’re equally common on Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, and Spaceport. There are no specific locations for finding these flyers; look up in the sky and keep tracking anything that moves. Using heavy weapons is helpful, but Hornets don’t have any special armor to worry about.

Research Points, or RP in short, are a crucial currency in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check when it comes to accessing different upgrades, and you’ll need plenty.

Thankfully, there are a couple of great ways to get RP in the game. While the exact methods aren’t explained in the open, this guide will help you get as many Research Points as you might require.

How to get Research Points (RP) in Quarantine Zone

The easiest way of obtaining Research Points is by completing daily investigations. You’ll find new survivors visiting your base daily. Some of them will be clean, while others will be infected. It’s your task to go through the symptoms to differentiate between those who should live and those who should be eliminated.

While you can make a mistake, you won’t want to. Making the correct diagnosis will help you get excellent inspections. An excellent inspection rewards you with nine RP per survivor. Do this multiple times, and you’ll fetch a handy amount of RP.

However, a botched inspection (graded as poor) won’t reward you with any RP at all. That’s why you should always observe a survivor carefully before making a decision.

Another way of earning RP is from extractions. There will be an extraction every six days when you have to send your survivors to a safe zone. If you choose to send them to the lab for further research, you’ll be rewarded with RP. If you choose not to do so, you’ll be rewarded with money. Hence, the decision is on you.

How to complete upgrades in Quarantine Zone

Once you have enough RP, you can start upgrading your tools. But first, you’ll have to upgrade your base (essential if you play the campaign). How you choose to get the remaining upgrades, then, depends on you.

While the upgrades in the beginning are easy to get, the more advanced ones will require more RPs. Unless you’re in dire need of cash, you should send more survivors to the lab for additional Research Points.
