Arc Raiders – Trials, Explained

Arc Raiders will keep you very busy, as there are a lot of things to do in the game, from completing quests to collecting materials to upgrade your workbench and craft items, and much more.

After you reach level 15, you will unlock the Trials from your Raider menu. At first, you might be confused about how this works, but this guide will help you understand it.

Note

This is part of our Arc Raiders – Guides Hub, so we suggest that you start from there if you haven’t already.

How Do Trails Work?

Trials is the rank system in Arc Raiders, and at first glance of the menu, you will see there are five objectives with stars on them that you need to complete.

These objectives reset every week, and depending on how you perform in them, you will be able to either rank up or remain in the same rank.

The idea here is to complete a specific objective and try to get the best score you can from it in one successful extraction.

For example, if you have to damage Hornets, you need to focus on damaging Hornets for the whole raid and extract safely so that it will count.

Warning

If you fail to extract, you will lose all the progress.

Each trial has three threshold rewards that you can get from: 1,000, 2,500, and 4,000. However, you can still go above that to beat the score and climb up on the leaderboard.

Speaking of the leaderboard, you can see your score among 100 people who seem to be randomly generated. From here, you can see who you are competing with and in which state you will rank up.

For example, the top 30 people will climb two ranks, the remaining 30 will climb only one rank, and the last 30 will remain in the same rank they are.

For each rank, there are certain rewards that will be automatically claimed and sent to your inventory. You can check all of them in the Ranks menu from the Trials.

How To Rank Up Fast

Some trials might be a bit challenging and can require a lot from you, but so far, the best way to get high scores and guarantee your rank up is by doing night raids.

Thankfully, these trials work for all maps, so it does not matter which map you choose.

The risk during night raids is increased, of course, since there are fewer extraction points and other raiders tend to be more aggressive, but it remains the best place to get those rank-up points, as during night raids, the points are doubled.

The table below showcases all ranks and rewards that you can obtain.
