Damage ARC using a Bantam: How to get the BEST score in ARC Raiders Trials

To damage ARC using a Bantam effectively:

1. Load into Stellar Montis (with PvE mode toggled if possible)
2. Use our interactive map to locate Shredders on the map
3. Utilize the hip-fire function of the Bantam to do large amounts of damage to a Shredder
4. Make use of cover around you between Shredder attacks
5. Extract when you’re done with your score

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.

What you’ll need

For this Trial, the objective requires dealing as much damage as possible with a Bantam to ARC within the raids time limit. As a result, you’ll mostly need basic medical consumables, a Bantam, and plenty of Light Ammo. We recommend bringing:

• Bantam IV + 200+ Heavy Ammo (if you need more ammo or another Bantam for score pushing, go ahead!)
• Survivor MK.3 Augment
• Medium Shield
• 5+ Shield Rechargers
• 5-10+ Bandages
• Adrenaline Shots
• Lure Grenades optional

Which map is best for this trial?

This weekly Trial can be completed on any map. However, we’ve selected Stellar Montis as finding Shredder’s is easy and contained – perfect for the Bantam.

How to get the best score for this trial

The approach to this Trial is nice and straightforward. Simply load up Stellar Montis on any condition, bring in the Bantam (and the loadout previously listed) and do the following:

1. Check out the map above to scout out some Shredder spawns
2. Once you find a Shredder, prepare some cover, you’ll want to bait the Shredder before hiding
3. Once the Shredder does its attack, swing out from the cover and hip-fire the Bantam into the center/thruster area of the ARC
4. Hide behind cover again once more, 1-2 more full clips of hip-fire should take down the Shredder
5. You’ll earn around 850-1000 for fully damaging and destroying a Shredder
6. 3-4 Shredder should be more than enough for the 3-star reward

Can I use a Free Loadout for the Damage ARC using a Bantam weekly Trial?

We do not recommend using a Free Loadout for this trial. You’ll need a ton of Heavy Ammo and a Bantam to attempt the Trial.
