Week 17 of ARC Raiders introduces a new set of Trials that reward players with points, loot, and a chance at high-tier rewards such as blueprints. There are five Trials available this week, and each one requires 4,000 points to earn three stars.
Trials reset weekly, and progress is only saved if players successfully extract. Playing during a Major Map Condition doubles all Trial points, making it easier to complete objectives quickly if the raid goes well.
This guide breaks down every Arc Raiders Week 17 Trial and explains the fastest and safest ways to complete them.
All Week 17 Trials
The following Trials are available this week:
Damage Wasps
Download Hidden Bunker Data
Damage Queens or Matriarchs
Destroy Ticks
Open ARC Probes
Damage Wasps
Wasps are flying ARC enemies that can overwhelm players if caught in the open. This Trial is best completed on The Blue Gate.
Wasps struggle to track players at higher elevations, so staying on rooftops or elevated terrain is key. Scoped rifles or DMRs work best for picking off their spinning blades. Avoid fighting other players while hunting Wasps, as it makes them more aggressive.
Deal enough damage to reach the point requirement, then extract to secure progress.

Download Hidden Bunker Data
This Trial is only available on Spaceport when the Hidden Bunker condition is active. It requires aligning four antennas before the bunker opens.
Open your map and locate all four antennas.
Travel to each antenna and interact to start the alignment. Using ziplines speeds up movement.
Defend against ARC waves while the alignment completes.
Once finished, the bunker door opens.
Inside, terminals hold the data. Any teammate downloading data counts for the whole squad, but be ready for other raiders since the bunker is a hotspot.

Damage Queens or Matriarchs
Queens appear during Harvester events, Matriarchs during Matriarch events. Players don’t need to kill them—just deal damage.
Recommended Loadout:
Primary: Anvil, Ferro, Bettina, Hullcracker
Secondary: Stitcher, Venator, Torrente
Armor: Medium Shield (bring 2)
Consumables: Shield Rechargers, Herbal Bandages
Utility: Wolfpacks, Deadline Mines, Snap Hook
At The Blue Gate, use the convenience store near the Gate Approach for cover. Draw the Queen’s attention, then attack her legs and armor safely from inside. Target side panels near her red core to expose her main weak point. Extract after dealing enough damage to get Trial credit.

Destroy Ticks
Ticks are small, fast spider-like enemies that die in one or two hits but can be hard to find.
Stella Montis is the best map for farming Ticks, especially during Night Raid conditions. Matriarch events spawn Ticks as reinforcements, letting you make progress on two Trials at once.
Check corners and dark areas, listen for their skittering, and clear rooms systematically. Destroy enough Ticks to reach the point requirement, then extract.

Open ARC Probes
Probes emit a pinging sound that reveals their location. Players need to breach them and collect the loot inside.
Electromagnetic Storm conditions spawn the most Probes. Best maps include Spaceport, The Blue Gate, and Dam Battlegrounds. Clear nearby ARC enemies before breaching, as the process makes noise and attracts attention.

Completing all Week 17 Trials in Arc Raiders mostly comes down to smart map selection and knowing when to leave. Heavy weapons and Major Map Conditions make a big difference, and extracting early after hitting 4,000 points helps avoid unnecessary losses. With careful planning, all five Trials can be completed in just a few successful raids.
