To damage Bullies as effectively as possible:

  1. Load into Pendola Pass
  2. Bring a power weapon to take the Bully on, such as a Hullcracker or Jupiter
  3. Search for Bullies using our interactive map for assistance
  4. Earn around 1500-2000~ score per Bully you fully damage until destroyed
  5. around 2 Bullies should be enough for the 3-star reward
  6. Bullies are incredibly dangerous, take as many pre-cautions as you can before fighting them
  7. Extract when you’re finished to claim your score and rewards

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 you to Damage Bullies as much as possible within the raids time limit. As a result, you’ll mostly need essentials, a strong power weapon and other utilities. We recommend bringing:

Most of the above can be tweaked to your preference, however, this set-up ensures you can move around the map, effectively deal with all ARC threats and cover yourself should an opponent get the jump on you.

Which map is best for this trial?

This Trial is currently only on the Pendola Pass map. You can do this on the normal map or any conditions you prefer. Check our Event Timers to know when your next chance is!

How to get the best score for this trial

As your time in a trial is limited based on the raid timer, to get the best score, attempt the following:

  1. Search for the Bullies using our interactive map
  2. Before engaging a Bully, you MUST find a good amount of cover to protect yourself with, Bullies are the most aggressive ARC in the game
  3. If you bring Showstoppers, you can use them to stun the Bully and take out the legs (the yellow joints) with a Hullcracker
  4. The head and weapon of the Bully also act as soft weak spot too
  5. Do not engage the Bully for too long before going back into cover, it has access to cluster grenades and a high power shotgun-like turret on top of it
  6. The Bully is also exceptionally fast when chasing you, meaning you have to be able to play within cover it cannot reach you in
  7. Each Bully fully damaged by you will give around 1500-2000~ score, as a result, 2-3 Bullies should be more than enough for your 3-star reward
  8. You can bring some Wolfpacks with you just incase you want to damage and destroy them even quicker, or as an emergency back-up
  9. Extract when you’re ready!

The most aggressive and relentless ARC award goes to the Bully, it’ll chase you forever, and it is fast. One of the more dangerous attacks it possesses lays multiple cluster grenades out in a radius. As a result, having cover to play inside is a requirement.

Playing from inside a door gives you enough safety to get some shots off before immediately retreating.

Shooting at the yellow joints disables the Bully, meaning you’ll have an easier time dealing with it. The head and weapon is also a weak spot. The head, however, even if destroyed does not stop the Bully from running around. Using a Showstopper helps a lot to keep things under control while you get some direct hits to joints or weak spots.

For reference, the building and door we used to fight the Bully is located at the Railyard, fairly close to a Bully spawn.

Can I use a Free Loadout to damage Bullies for the weekly Trials?

We do not recommend using a Free Loadout to attempt this Trial. The bully is far too powerful of an ARC, a Free Loadout will not supply you with the means to complete this trial.
