The ARC Raiders trials for Week 11 (or the third week of Season 2) are now live, and there are five new tasks to complete.
Once again, some of the tasks appear to be relatively easy to complete, while the rest of them will take more time. Embark has once again added one task that can only be completed when Cold Snap is active. This guide will provide you with all the necessary information required for completing all five tasks and getting three stars.

ARC Raiders Week 11 Trials walkthrough
Week 11 has five tasks to complete. It involves taking down specific ARCs and also farming certain resources. The complete set can be broken down into the following five parts.
- Damage Snitches
- (Cold Snap) Throw snowballs at Bastions
- Damage Bastions
- Search Supply Drops
- Harvest Plants
Damage Snitches
Snitches can be found in all maps (barring Stella Montis, apparently, if my luck is to be considered). They’re aerial ARCs that might not do much damage on their own. However, they can alert nearby ARCs about your presence, which can be pretty disastrous.
While you can find them on all maps and they don’t have specific locations, Blue Gates appear to have more of them. Ideally, you’ll want to look around the different POIs that are present on the map for increased luck. Once you spot one, take it down. While eliminating Snitches isn’t necessary, you’ll want to do that to save yourself from dying in the hands of other ARCs.
Throw Snowballs at Bastions
Bastions are one of the larger ARCs in the game, and they have a massive amount of armor. A guaranteed spot to find them is in Stella Montis, where you’ll find one in the Loading Bay area. However, you’ll also need to hit it with snowballs, which requires the Cold Snap map condition.
The best choice of map is Blue Gate. They’re usually found near the Warehouse Complex building, but their actual position can be random. First, collect snowballs, and then start peppering a Bastion with them. You’ll need to do it 16 times if you want to get three stars. If you’re at a party, the progression will be shared among all of you.
Damage Bastions
This is an easier task since you can combine it with the requirement above. The difference is to hit the Bastion with your weapons this time. If you’re at a party, one of you should bait the Bastion out, while others should then do damage. You’ll want to use heavy weapons that have severe damage per shot. Adding tools like the Wolfpack to your inventory, along with Deadline, is also going to be incredibly helpful.
Search Supply Drops
Supply Drops can be found on all maps, but I have used Dam Battlegrounds in the image below. The locations marked on the screenshot below represent Supply Call Stations. You can then call a Supply Drop to gain valuable resources.
For three stars, you’ll need to repeat the task a few times. You gain 600 XP when you interact with the Supply Drop, and 200 XP more when you complete the search. The Cold Snap condition will double the XP gain, making it easier to get three stars.
Harvest Plants
To complete this task, you’ll want to visit areas marked as vegetation on any map. You can try your luck with Dam Battlegrounds, where you can go to the South Swamp Outpost in the western part of the map. The Hydrophonic Dome is also a spot filled with mushrooms and other types of vegetation.
Your progress will only count if you’re interacting with the plant and complete the loot. You can also try your luck during the Lush Bloom event. However, the Lush Bloom event will only raise the spawn of plants and won’t reward you with bonus XP.
