Quickest way to get all FC 26 Season 5 Silver Icons

FC 26 Season 5 brings a host of new Silver Icons to obtain in Ultimate Team, and using a well-optimized team will save plenty of time.

Every Silver Icon has two tasks, and you have to complete either one to unlock the card. With so many Silver Icons on offer, it will take a lot of time if you try to get them all. Thankfully, using a strategic lineup will reduce the effort on your end.

Best squad to get FC 26 Season 5 Silver Icons

To quicken the process, you’ll want to play in Squad Battles (min. Professional difficulty) and have the following in your squad.

• Six Premier League players in your starting eleven
• One French player in the starting eleven. You should put him as a forward.

Building the correct squad is only a part of the grind. Here’s what you’ll need to complete to earn all the Icons on offer.

• Assist with a through ball with a French player (in 50 games)
• Win the game (40 games)
• Score a goal with a chip shot with a French player (in 40 games)
• Score a goal from outside the box (in 30 games)
• Concede less than one goal (in 25 games)
• Score with a CB (in 15 games)

Scoring with a chip shot is the hardest of all the tasks. If you want to take an alternate strategy, I will recommend using a French striker in Division Rivals and Champions. When you’re playing against other players, there will be situations when you’ll be through on goal. It’s easy to score with a chip shot when your opponent is rushing their goalkeeper out.

The rest of the tasks can be completed in either PvP (Live events, Rivals, etc.) or against the AI (Squad Battles).

The need for Magnetic Accelerators have certainly increased a level or two ever since the Trophy Display project went live in ARC Raiders.

The new project, part of the Headwinds update, requires you to complete five different stages of tasks to get some amazing rewards. Let’s look at how you can find this Epic item from your grind in the wasteland.

Best locations for Magnetic Accelerators in ARC Raiders

Like every crafting material in ARC Raiders, there’s no definite location for the Magnetic Accelerators. However, it’s an Epic-tier loot. While Epic-tier loot can spawn anywhere, you’re expected to find it more in red-colored zones on every map.

One of my favorite locations is the Village POI in Blue Gate. This location has a locked room, and I have received at least three Magnetic Accelerators in the past, and one since the Headwinds update went live. Their exact location inside the locked room is different, so you’ll want to go through every bit of the container.

Another strange, but great spot, appears to be the room right by the elevator at the Testing Annex location on Dam Battlegrounds. This room has three lootable containers, and I have found three Magnetic Accelerators from this room. It’s usually unlocked, but expect to find ARCs since there’s a nearby elevator.

As the Magnetic Accelerator is an Epic-tier loot, you can also play on the maps when the following modifiers are active.

• Harvester
• Matriarch
• Electromagnetic Storm

Playing the Night Raids will also raise your chances of finding a Magnetic Accelerator. However, there will be more hazards that you need to watch out for on your raids.

How to craft Magnetic Accelerators in ARC Raiders

If your luck is poor, you can directly craft Magnetic Accelerators. You’ll need a level 3 Refiner for that. Reaching this point is going to take time (especially if you’re a beginner).

Once you have a level 3 Refiner, you’ll going to need the following materials.

• Two Advanced Mechanical Components
• Two ARC Motion Cores

How to use Magnetic Accelerators in ARC Raiders

You’re going to need at least 10 Magnetic Accelerators to submit to the Trophy Display project. You’ll need them to complete stage 4 of the project. Doing so will get you five Wolfpack grenades, which are immensely useful. You’re also going to come one step closer to finishing the whole project and unlocking the completionist rewards.
