Renegade)Bring a several hundred Medium Ammo minimum for 3,000 score. Around 400 ammo per Renegade IV, bring more Renegades to push score
Your score is gained based on your damage per shot to the ARC - at around 1.3 score per 1 damage
A single Renegade shot on a Spotter (or an ARC without any armor) is around 60~ score

In this guide, we'll go over the best ways to approach and Damage Flying ARC enemies using Medium Ammo Weapons.
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 to flying ARC using Medium Ammo weapons as possible within the raids time limit. As a result, you'll mostly need essentials, Medium Ammo weapons and a ton of Medium Ammo. We recommend bringing:
- Renegade IV (2-3 if you want to push for more score and will break at least 1 Renegade)
At least 400+
Medium Ammo or more (400~ per Renegade)Medium Shield (recommended to survive accidents)
5-10+
Shield Rechargers5-10
Bandages
Adrenaline shots to move from A to B smoothly
Snitch Scanners (optional, but safe and easy for pushing score)
Which map is best for this trial?
There is no best map to recommend for this Trial. However, we recommend trying Riven Tides as there's always plenty of flying ARC spawns no matter where you look, especially if you position centrally. You can do this on the normal map or any conditions you prefer. Check our Event Timers to know when your next chance is!
Position yourself on either of the red-circled areas of the map. Here, you'll find plenty of vantage points with cover to see a large quanity of flying ARC without moving. For a better look, utilize our 2D and 3D interactive map.
How to get the best score for this trial
The scoring for this Trial only comes from dealing damage with Medium Ammo Weapons on any Flying ARC. As a result, we'll want to find decent targets to fire at.
First, you'll want to head to the two red circles in the image shown earlier, you'll have perfect cover and vision of flying ARC here
Damage any flying ARC you come across, Hornets and Fireflies are easy to damage if you shoot their center repeatedly, you'll easily push 200+ score on each one
To cheese some more score, you could try to time destroying a Snitch as it spawns in additional ARC
You can challenge Rocketeers or Vaporizers, just remember they take a lot of extra time and to use cover as much as possible
Every flying ARC is worth shooting for score, Wasps and Snitches give around 200~ score each
Use Snitch Scanners to spawn 2x Wasps in for more score
Utilizing this method, gives you a guaranteed way to get 3,000 or more score in your raid.
Snitch Scanners
The Snitch Scanner is an important additional 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).
Each Snitch Scanner thrown spawns 2 Wasps into the map, netting some easy additional score for yourself.
As can be seen in this image, you'll never be short of flying ARC to damage! If they're very far away and you're unsure of your shot accuracy, simply shoot very close to the ARC and they'll fly over to you.
The biggest benefit to the central position shown on our interactive map is that one of the extracts is here too! As a result, you can safely farm flying ARC damage from cover, all while having your escape right next to you.
Once you're done or out of ammo and weapons, hit the extract and return to Speranza - enjoy the rewards!
Can I use a Free Loadout for the Damage flying ARC Using Medium Ammo weapons Weekly Trial?
No, you cannot realistically complete this trial with a Free Loadout. You need at least hundreds of Medium Ammo, supplies and strong Medium Ammo weapons. As a result, Free Loadouts are not realistic for this Trial.
