The last week of May is here, and the familiar ARC Raiders Weekly Trials are back! What new tasks do we have this week? Let's take a look.
This article will teach you how to complete ARC Raiders Week 30 Trials and earn the three-star reward.
About Week 30 Trials
The fifth week of ARC Raiders Season 4 trials officially launched on May 25, 2026, and will continue until May 31. In this trial, players will need to fight against several specific types of ARC. Here are all the trial contents for this week:
- Loot Weapon Crates
- Damage ARC enemies in Red Lakes
- Deal as much damage as possible using a Blaze Grenade
- Deal Damage to Shredders
- Damage Bombardiers
How to Loot Weapon Crates?
Theoretically, this trial can be completed on any map, but we recommend focusing on Riven Tides map, as its layout and size are ideal for quick searches, accelerating your progress and leading to a higher score. Each weapon crate is worth 1,000 points. Collecting 3 weapon crates will grant you 3,000 points and a three-star reward.
However, please remember that other types of Raider Caches do not count towards your trial progress; only Weapon Crates are eligible. If you have ziplines equipped, use them to move freely between rooftops.
You can also use grappling hooks to stay elevated on rooftops, avoiding attacks from patrolling ARCs on the ground. Collect enough Weapon Crates and safely evacuate to lock in your score and complete the trial.
How to Damage ARC Enemies in Red Lakes?
This trial should be the easiest this week. As the name suggests, players simply need to go to Red Lakes, damage ARC enemies, and then safely evacuate.
Once inside the area, any ARC within it will earn your points based on the damage they deal. This also means you can pull ARCs outside the area into the scoring zone. Small ARCs are worth around 150 points each, while large ARCs are worth 1,700 points each. Therefore, defeating two large ARCs (Leaper or a Rocketeer) and a few small ARCs is enough to earn a 3-star reward.
However, the best chance to get three stars is to defeat Queen during Harvestor event. Remember to bring plenty of ammo, meds, explosives, and good ARC killing weapons.

How to Deal as Much Damage as Possible Using A Blaze Grenade?
This trial requires Raiders to craft multiple Blaze Grenades and throw them at ARC targets to deal damage. It requires one explosive compound and two oils to craft.
This trial garnered significant attention from players even before it began, not because of its content, but because of the contradictory official promotional language. Earlier social media posts for ARC Raiders hinted at using blaze grenades for maximum damage (plural), but the final version in the game uses the singular blaze grenade.
This means players need to carefully choose a target where the fire can spread and deal as much damage as possible with a single, precisely placed grenade. Currently, the best strategy seems to be throwing grenades at groups of ARC enemies clustered in narrow indoor corridors or chokepoints.
If you hit a large arc target, expect a score between 2,000 and 5,000 points. This will earn you a three-star reward; the system will only record the highest damage dealt with a single blaze grenade.
How to Deal Damage to Shredders?
To complete this trial, players usually need to go to Stella Montis map; however, if Security Lockdown map condition is active, Shredders may also appear in Buried City.
Shredders are hovering drone ARCs with extremely high attack power. To shoot them down before they knock you down, players should first focus their fire on their thrusters. Therefore, players must carry equipment capable of quickly eliminating them, as wasting too much time on a single Shredder will lower your potential score. Here are the items you should bring:
- Bettina / Hullcracker (III or IV preferred)
- Light / Medium Shield
- Shield Rechargers
- Herbal Bandage
- 10x Adrenaline Shots
Carrying these items should allow you to quickly take it down and deal enough damage to earn the 3-star reward. If you don't have the corresponding items, you can buy ARC Raiders Items from EZG.com, which provides the fastest and safest way to get the items you need.
How to Damage Bombardiers?
This trial can be completed on any map except Stella Montis. Players need to be extremely careful when dealing with Bombardiers, as their damage is very high, so players should not engage them recklessly. Once a Bombardier is spotted, players should quickly find nearby cover and immediately open fire to weaken its health.
However, when Bombardiers send out scouts to find the attackers, players need to immediately shift their firepower to the scouts and eliminate them before they reveal their positions. After each scout is eliminated, you can turn your attack back to Bombardiers, repeating the above steps until the enemy is defeated.
This concludes this article's content regarding what players need to know in this week's trials. The new ARC Raiders trials have begun, time waits for no one, so get moving!
