Damage ARC Enemies using Light Impact Grenades: How to get the BEST score in ARC Raiders Trials
To Damage ARC enemies using Light Impact Grenades effectively:
- Load into any map (we recommend Riven Tides or Stella Montis for ARC density)
- Check out our interactive map for average locations of ARC enemies
- Hunt down, and carefully aim Light Impact Grenades to score points on ARC hits
- Each grenade that lands can score anywhere from 1-300~ score, depending on if its a direct hit or on armor, for example, the armor of a Rocketeer.
- Make sure to bring a ton of Plastic Parts and Chemicals to craft Light Impact Grenades in-raid
In this guide, we’ll go over the best ways to approach and Damage ARC enemies using Light Impact Grenades to maximize your score and etch your place in the Speranza hotshots.
Trial Preparation
This trial can be done in all party sizes to an effective level, whether that’s gaining your 3-star rating (which requires 3000 score) or pushing to maximize your points for promotion.
Scoring
The scoring for this Trial only comes from dealing damage to ARC using Light Impact Grenades. You’ll earn anywhere from 1-300~ score per Light Impact Grenade depending on if it’s a direct hit, and if it’s on a small or large ARC.
What you’ll need
For this Trial, the objective requires dealing as much damage to ARC using Light Impact Grenades as possible within the raids time limit. As a result, you’ll mostly need essentials, a good weapon for killing small and medium ARC in a bad situation, and of course – tons of Light Impact Grenades. We recommend bringing:
- Anvil IV to deal with ARC (and some Heavy Ammo)
Survivor MK.3 Augment - Medium Shield
- 10
Shield Rechargers - 10-15
Bandages - 10
Adrenaline Shots - 2-5
Smoke Grenades - Some
Ziplines or 
Snap Hook 
Photoelectric Cloak (this is not a must, but is nice to have)- Tons of Plastic Parts and
Chemicals stacks to craft Light Impact Grenades in-raid (requires in-raid crafting perk in the Skill Tree)
You can actually destroy Leapers quite easily with Light Impact Grenade Spam, dealing a lot of damage and gaining score. This also applies to Bastions, however, you’ll have to be much more careful with them. If you bring enough grenades with you, you can throw them at smaller ARC while moving around the map for free score.
We highly recommend bringing in multiple stacks of Plastic Parts and Chemicals (stacks of 50) into the raid. This is far more efficient than just bringing in Light Impact Grenades, as it only costs a couple of each material per craft. As a result, you’ll have insane amounts of grenades at your disposal, and can likely push above 40,000 score in a party.
Can I use a Free Loadout for the Damage ARC enemies using Light Impact Grenades weekly Trial?
We currently do not recommend using a Free Loadout to attempt this Trial. This is because it takes on average more than 10 Light Impact Grenades to gain enough score for a 3-star reward (3,000 score).
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 best map to push for an effective score is Riven Tides. We believe due to the sheer amount of ARC presence on the map, and the map itself not being massive, you’ll get plenty of bang for your buck. Check our Event Timers incase you want to attempt the trial on a specific condition!
The BEST Route for Maximizing Score
Solo Lobby
The best options for gaining score in this Trial is to start your attempt by heading straight to the Hotel POI. We recommend the Hotel first due to the high density of small ARC such as Pops and Fireballs inside each floor of the Hotel. Shredders are also a decent ARC to hit with Light Impact Grenades for score.
Starting at the Hotel as a solo, you can make sure of the easier to hit small ARC with your grenades. Once you’ve accumulated some score here, you can move towards the Bastion, Bombardier and Leaper spawns to get a large portion of score to complete the Trial. However, if you’re not feeling confident to take on the large ARC solo with just Light Impact Grenades, you can move around and come back to the Hotel to freshly respawned ARC. Shooting flying ARC to get their attention and then throwing grenades as they get closer works too.
Squad Lobby
As a Squad, you can split up and the densely populated areas of ARC and gain more score in a shorter period of time. This is the standard spread we recommend.
Having three players bring in a full inventory of Light Impact Grenades helps with score gain. You’ll easily be able to gain 3,000-9,000 score on average in a good lobby. There isn’t a specific method to dealing the damage with grenades. However, remember to bait flying ARC towards you, wait for them to aim at you to fire, then throw.
Showstoppers
Another potential method of gaining good score with Light Impact Grenades is combining them with Showstoppers. For example, if you Showstopper a Rocketeer, it’ll drop to the floor – making it a very easy grenade target. However, as usual with Rocketeers, proceed with extreme caution.
Bastions
As previously mentioned, Bastions can be a fantastic target dummy for Light Impact Grenades, if you have enough. If you have good enough cover, you can easily grenade spam a Bastion until it explodes.
