Damage ARC enemies on the Beaches: How to get the BEST score on ARC Raiders Trials
To damage ARC enemies on the Beaches:
- Head to the Riven Tides map – preferably on a Night Raid to increase ARC activity
- The Beach is located on the northern side of the map and spans a decent distance
- Once you’re there, any ARC that is within the area (ground & flying) grants you score for damage dealt, this means you can pull ARC from outside the area to the score zone
- Bring Snitch Scanners with you to drop in the area while you damage and destroy all the other ARC
- Once you’re low on time, get out and secure your score
In this guide, we’ll go over the best ways to approach and Damage ARC enemies on the Beaches to maximize your score and etch your place in the Speranza hotshots.
Preparing for the ARC Raiders damage ARC enemies on the Beaches Trial
This trial can be done in all party sizes to an effective level. Whether that’s gaining your 3-star rating (which requires a 3000 score) or pushing to maximize your points for promotion.
Scoring
The scoring for this Trial comes from damaging any ARC enemies within the beach boundaries of Riven Tides. Each size type of ARC earns you approximately:
- 100~ score per small ARC (Wasp, Pop etc)
- 200~ score per Turret/Surveyor type ARC
- 1100~ score per Rocketeer/Vaporizer size ARC
With the above scores in mind, taking down two Rocketeers and/or Vaporizers and then a couple of small ARC is more than enough for the 3-star reward.
What you’ll need
For this Trial, the objective requires you to damage and destroy as many ARC enemies as possible on the beaches on Riven Tides. You’ll need plenty of ammo, meds, explosives, and good ARC killing weapons (both for big and small, ground and flying ARC). We recommend bringing:
Anvil IV is okay – bring 
Heavy Ammo if you use this. The Anvil can help to deal with smaller ARC- Two of a hard hitter such as
Jupiter or 
Hullcracker and their respective ammo types 
Survivor MK.3 is recommended for space and multiple safe pockets for Wolfpacks
Light Shield or 
Medium Shield is fine - At least 10
Shield Rechargers - At least 10
Bandages and/or 
Herbal Bandages - 10
Adrenaline Shot 
Smoke Grenades to avoid awkward aggro situations or diffuse PVP moments- As many
Snitch Scanners as you can bring solo or between your party members 
Wolfpacks
Ziplines
Snitch Scanners
The Snitch Scanner is the most important part of getting maximum score from this Trial. You can farm Snitch Scanners by coming into any map with a basic loadout (and at least 1 safe pocket). Simply shoot down any Snitch you come across and loot the Scanner from them. You can stack 3 Scanners in one slot, meaning you can guarantee up to 9 Scanners per farm run (more if you get extract safely).
Can I use a Free Loadout to damage ARC enemies on the Beaches Trials?
You definitely can use a Free Loadout to get a 3,000 score attempt for 3-star rewards and exit the raid. However, you’re very likely to not push a high score with the Free Loadout option. Instead, we recommend either running a “light” loadout with an Anvil, or going fully geared for the best results.
Should I use aggression-based matchmaking for friendly lobbies?
Yes, we also highly recommend utilizing this method for friendly lobbies as it yields consistently safe results.
Map
The only map you’re able to attempt this Trial on is the Riven Tides. This is due to the “beaches” being a part of this map exclusively. You can wait for a Night Raid for best results, as a result of more ARC spawning. However, this trial can be attempted in any condition.
Solo and Party Play
The beach spans quite a large portion of the northern map. However, we’ll confirm the exact zones as soon as possible. Currently, the red area on the map image above is largely where you’ll be able to gain score. We recommend setting up on the Wavebreaker walls along with some Ziplines to move across easily.
From here, you’ll be able to set-up and move across the wall with ease. You’ll be able to drop Snitch Scanners and aggro ground & flying ARC as far as you can see while moving. This method is exactly the same in both solo or party play. However, in a party, you’ll have access to more Snitch Scanners and can space out to not overlap ARC. As a result, you’ll get your 3-star reward easily either solo or in a party. However, party play always is the best when it comes to pushing a high score.
While pulling ARC aggro in the sky is the key to getting more enemies within the scoring zone, don’t forget to check below you too. You can often find ground ARC such as Comets and Bastions.
Always try to keep the high ground where possible so you can give yourself some cover. Remember, when pulling Rocketeer or Vaporizer aggro, you’ll need to find yourself cover you can fully move around. Wolfpacks come in very handy to quickly dispatch of Rocketeers. However, with Vaporizers you need to be aware of their barrier before committing Wolfpacks.
Once you have your 3,000 score or desired high score, extract at the nearest extraction and enjoy your rewards.
