Week 11 Trials in ARC Raiders went live, and the focus is on Snitches, Bastions, Supply Drops, and plant harvesting. The good part is that several challenges can be done in a single run if you plan things right.

The available tasks this week include damaging Snitches, throwing snowballs at Bastions, dealing damage to Bastions, searching Supply Drops, and harvesting plants.

How to damage Snitches

Snitches are flying ARCs with a cone-shaped searchlight that scans the area. If they detect you and stay alive for too long, they summon backup. Use weapons with strong ARC Armor penetration like Anvil, Bettina, or Ferro.

Aim at the white flaps on their body. Breaking two of these flaps is enough to stop them from flying away and calling reinforcements. Hullcracker and Equaliser also work, but they are better saved for tougher targets.

How to throw snowballs at Bastions

Snowballs can be collected from snow piles on Cold Snap maps. Try to pick up around 20 before engaging a Bastion. Find a building or solid cover to protect yourself from Frostbite. Lure the Bastion toward your position, then shoot its yellow leg joints to disable it briefly.

While it is down, throw snowballs at it to earn Trial points. Using high ARC Armor penetration weapons makes this much easier. Bastions commonly appear in areas like Buried City, Spaceport, Dam Battlegrounds, and The Blue Gate.

This challenge pairs well with the snowball task. If you have gadgets like Deadline or Wolfpack, or weapons such as Hullcracker or Equaliser, Bastions go down quickly. If not, focus on shooting the yellow leg joints first.

Once it collapses, move behind it and hit the yellow canister on its back. You can also deal heavy damage by shooting the bright cylindrical core inside the Bastion when it is exposed. Retreat as soon as it starts standing up again and repeat.

How to search Supply Drops

Supply Drops come from Supply Call Stations found across topside maps. Activate the flare at a station and wait for the crate to drop with a parachute.

Looting the crate adds points toward your Trials progress. Reliable maps for this challenge include Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, The Blue Gate, and Buried City. Plan a route that passes multiple stations to save time.

How to harvest plants safely

Plant harvesting is one of the lowest risk challenges in week 11. The Buried City is the best map, especially during Night Raid. Start at the Galleria building and collect Great Mullein.

Move through Marano Park for Apricot and more Great Mullein if the area is safe. Continue to Grandioso Apartments to gather additional plants, then head to Plaza Rosa for Prickly Pear and Agave. Finish at the Church Ruins before extracting via the Eastern Metro Station.
