ARC Raiders Trials: How to Rank Up and Clear the 5 Weekly Challenges

Trials score what you do in a raid. Every week you get 5 challenges, and your best run in each one counts toward your rank.

1. Open the Trials menu. It lists the 5 challenges of the week and the points each action is worth.
2. Play a raid that fits a challenge. Some Trials work on every map. Others name a map, such as Pendola Pass.
3. Extract to bank the score. Your points for each challenge are tallied when you extract.
4. Beat your best run. Only your top score in each challenge is kept.
5. Reach 3,000 points in each Trial. Stars unlock at 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 points, and each star pays a reward.
6. Push your total in your division. You compete with 100 Raiders of your rank. Your combined best scores decide your place, and your place decides your rank move when the week changes.

A strong week can lift you up to 3 sub-ranks at once. So 5 full Trials at 3 stars is the fastest climb.

Short on raids this week? A PRO can clear your Trials to 3 stars or climb you a guaranteed rank on your account.

The 5 Trials of Season 6, week 5, opened on 3 November 2026. The next set arrives on 10 November.

Start with the Couriers. They only count on Pendola Pass, and 6 of them finish the Trial.

Trials have 14 ranks. 12 of them are the sub-ranks I, II and III of Rookie, Tryhard, Wildcard and Daredevil. Hotshot and Cantina Legend sit at the top.

Rank	Sub-ranks	How you move
Rookie	I, II, III	Your place in a division of 100
Tryhard	I, II, III	Your place in a division of 100
Wildcard	I, II, III	Your place in a division of 100
Daredevil	I, II, III	Top places move up to Hotshot
Hotshot	1 rank	A global leaderboard with no divisions
Cantina Legend	1 rank	The very top of the Hotshot leaderboard

Daredevil is the last step before Hotshot. The top 5% of Daredevil I, the top 10% of Daredevil II and the top 30% of Daredevil III move up.

Hotshot is harder to hold. The bottom 40% of the Hotshot board drops back to Daredevil each week.

Each star pays a reward. The rewards include gear and blueprints. Our ARC Raiders blueprints guide shows what to do with them.

Season 6 is Frozen Trials. It runs from 8 October 2026 to 12 January 2027.

• Grand prize. The Maestro Outfit and its toggles.
• Hotshot. Unlocks the Yellow color of the Maestro Outfit.
• Cantina Legend. Unlocks the Red color of the Maestro Outfit.
• Final placement. More cosmetics, based on the rank you hold when the season ends.

New Season 6 challenges use the Skulker Targeter, the Bully Fragmenter and new hotspots on Pendola Pass.

1. Plan the week on day 1. Read all 5 Trials before you queue. A single raid can feed 2 of them.
2. Pick the right map. A Trial that names a map only counts there.
3. Bring damage for damage Trials. Turbines, Comets and Queens reward a loadout built to hurt ARC.
4. Extract with the score. Points only count once you reach the exit.
5. Play every week of the season. Each week is 1 more chance to move up.

Skill points that keep you alive in long raids are on our ARC Raiders builds guide.
