ARC Raiders Week 9 Trials (Dec. 22) – How to get three stars

Dec. 22 marks the start of a new season in ARC Raiders, and with it arrives a fresh Trials.

The new set, available until Dec. 29, has five tasks to complete. As always, some of the tasks are harder to complete than the rest. This guide will provide you with all the vital information required for completing the tasks and obtaining three stars in the process.

ARC Raiders Week 9 Trials guide

The Week 9 Trials can be broken down into five tasks.

• Search First Wave husks
• Damage Leapers
• Harvest plants
• Search Frozen Raider Containers
• Destroy Ticks

Search First Wave Husks

The First Wave Husks are remains of gigantic metallic robots that have been destroyed in the war against humanity. Their remains can be found all over the maps, but the best spots have always been on Blue Gate. This map, in general, has a lot of remains across its different POIs.

To increase the odds in your favor, you should wait for the Husk Graveyard condition, since that will increase the number of interactive metal shells. You’ll also gain double contribution points when the map condition is active.

Damage Leapers

While this task is relatively simple, you’ll have to be careful. Getting caught in the open by Leapers means almost certain death. One of my favorite spots is the elevator near the Water Control building on Dam Battlegrounds.

A Leaper almost always roams the land near the elevator, and there’s also a bunker. Being in the bunker will stop the Leaper’s attacks from doing damage, but you can keep shooting at it. To get three stars, you’ll want to use a weapon that has decent DPS, and you should always hit its joints and eyes. Those are the softer areas, and will be able to amplify the damage requirements in quick time.

Harvest Plants

Various plants can spawn on every map, excluding Stella Montis. For example, the South Swamp area in Dam Battlegrounds has loads of foliage to go through. If you’re on Blue Gate, the Olive Garden in the southern part of the map is a great spot to hit as well.

Ultimately, you can also opt for efficient farming routes on YouTube. However, you can take your sweet time completing this task and ranking the rank to three stars. Your progress will be counted across multiple raids, so there’s no necessity to for for optimal routes (I prefer completing this task by mixing with other quests).

Search Frozen Raider Containers

To find Frozen Raider Containers, you’ll want to head to a map with the active Cold Snap condition. Frozen Raider Containers are nothing but ordinary Raider caches, but covered in snow. The frozen variants offer better rewards due to the map conditions. My favorite map for this has been the Dam Battlegrounds map, and you’ll want to look at the spots marked on the screenshot above.

However, you can also find Raider Containers on other maps, as long as the Cold Snap condition is active.

Destroy Ticks

The best map for this task is Stella Montis. The Stella Montis has multiple rooms that you can access via the doors. To be more specific, you’ll want to target the rooms on the base floor. Many of these rooms can have Ticks hiding behind the doors.

Ticks are easy to kill as they don’t have much health or armor. However, they can swarm you quite quickly if you’re not paying attention. It’s best to use single-shot weapons against them, like shotguns that work well in short ranges.

The Fury (Part 1) is the first of a new questline that’s been added to Avatar Frontiers of Pandora as part of From the Ashes DLC.

Divided into three parts, the quest takes you all across the new region in search of enemies and items. Part 1 begins with So’lek being informed by Teylan that RDA is capturing animals from all over the map. Your task begins with performing a thorough investigation into the situation.

Avatar Frontiers of Pandora The Fury (Part 1) quest walkthrough

The Fury (Part 1) quest can be broken down into four subparts.

• Locate and Investigate the distress signal site
• Return the Stormglider egg
• Go to the Resource Containment Outpost
• Access the control center at Resource Containment Outpost

Locate and Investigate the distress signal site

Your first task is to go to the crash site from where the RDA distress signal was sent from. The quest marker will lead you to the location in Silk Woods. You’ll find a few RDA soldiers to defeat at this location. Investigate the surroundings to find more clues about what ot do next.

Return the Stormglider egg

You’ll receive a Stormglider egg upon completing the previous part of the quest. You’ll have to return it to its nest. The quest marker will lead you to the location. You’ll encounter two adult Stormgliders at the location. They’re the parents, and you’ll have to avoid being seen by them as you place the egg.

Use stealth to go past the Stormgliders and put the egg back in its right location. You’ll then get a message that the RDA is en route to this location. Defeat all the arriving forces to proceed to the next part of the task.

Gp to the Resource Containment Outpost

The next quest marker will take you to the Resource Containment Outpost. Go close and look for a vantage point to examine the facility. To infiltrate, you’ll need to climb a wall and go inside.

Defeat all the forces you find at the outpost and then free the trapped Soundblast Colossus. Further, defeat all incoming soldiers to prevent the animal from being killed. Once done, Teyland will open the gate to the outpost, and the beast will escape.

Access the control center at Resource Containment Outpost

Your last task is to access the control center of the Resource Containment Outpost. This will allow you to open Gate B and then head inside. You’ll find multiple cages, and you have to use your knife to destroy the locks. This will free the captives, and you’ll discover an NPC named Itu. Complete the following dialog set to finish the mission.
