Boss enemies like ARC Raiders Coins the Queen offer more health, less disruptive abilities, and easier damage windows than the Matriarch-making her the preferred target.

The key is killing early, which triggers respawn cycles and maximizes encounters.

Objective-Specific Trial Strategies

Leapers & Ground-Based Enemy Trials

Map: Damn Battlegrounds

Split your squad into three roles:

One player rotates between Leaper and Bombarder spawn clusters.

One player handles the secondary Leaper spawn.

One player focuses on Bastions.

Use adrenaline stims to maintain pace. Once a spawn appears, eliminate it instantly to start the next timer. This synchronized routing is the backbone of high-score runs.

Hidden Bunker

Map: Spaceport (during early-morning rotations)

Activate all four satellites before descending into the bunker. Inside, interact with all eight computers to reach the 6,400-point cap. Stay close during downloads-moving away cancels progress. Clean timing is everything.

First Wave Husks

Maps: Spaceport or Damn Battlegrounds

Modifier: Electromagnetic Storm

Use tools like Metaphorge to locate clusters. Splitting your team across high-density areas dramatically speeds clearing and point generation.

Damage Snitches

Maps: Spaceport, Buried City

Best Weapons: Renegade, Hole Cracker

This trial is best done solo. Loop repeatedly through hotspots like the hospital, library, and parking garage. Use your Renegade for standard mobs and Hole Cracker for shielded targets. Consistency is more important than raw firepower.

Harvesting Trials

Maps: Damn Battlegrounds (Hydroponic), Spaceport

Farm moss, mushrooms, and mullen by routing through high-density zones. Avoid high PvP zones when possible. Top players regularly break 45,000+ points with optimized loops.

Prospecting Probes

Map: Spaceport during Electromagnetic Storm

Vertical mobility is mandatory. Bring:

Zip lines

Snap hooks

Adrenaline stims

Spread out to cover as much ground as possible while maintaining rescue range.

Flying Enemy Trials

Map: Hidden Bunker

The North Trench Tower offers safe, isolated sightlines. Set up barricades and mines, then repeatedly scan and snipe with high-damage weapons. Positioning is the entire strategy here.

Boss Damage Trials (Queen & Matriarch)

The Queen is preferred:

Higher health

More manageable movement

Smoother damage phases

Aim for legs and armor plates, not the central cavity. This produces more serious shielded damage. With cheap ARC Raiders Coins high-tier ARC Raiders Items and perfect execution, teams can reach up to 16,000 damage points per run.
