Damage Leapers Bastions and Bombardiers: How to get the BEST score in ARC Raiders Trials
To Damage Leapers Bastions and Bombardiers effectively:
- Load into any map (we recommend Blue Gate for large ARC density)
- Check out our interactive map for average locations of ARC enemies
- Hunt down, and blast the large ARC with Hullcracker, Jupiter, and (optionally) Wolfpacks
- Each fully destroyed large ARC gives around 1800~ score, meaning 2 of any of the targets is enough for the 3-star
In this guide, we’ll go over the best ways to approach and Damage Leapers Bastions and Bombardiers to maximize your score and etch your place in the Speranza hotshots.
What you’ll need
For this Trial, the objective requires destroying as many Leapers as possible within the raids time limit. As a result, you’ll mostly need essentials, and a good weapon to Damage Rocketeers, Leapers or Bastions. We recommend bringing:
Anvil IV (just for smaller ARC or hostile raiders)
Tactical MK.2 or 
MK.3 Survivor
Light Shield or 
Medium Shield- 5-10
Shield Rechargers - 10-15
Bandages - 60+
Heavy Ammo - 2-5
Smoke Grenades - 2-3
Ziplines or 
Snap Hook (Snap Hook prevents other players from following you)
More expensive recommendations:
Hullcracker or 
Jupiter- 80+
Launcher Ammo or an Inventory of 
Energy Clips - Multiple
Wolfpack Grenades
For this Trial, we recommend bringing more powerful weapons such as the Hullcracker or Jupiter if you’re pushing for score or simply want to get in and out quickly.
Can I use a Free Loadout to Damage Leapers Bastions and Bombardiers Trials?
We do not recommend Free Loadout for this particular Trial. It’d simply be far too time consuming and very unlikely that you’d have enough ammo or powerful weaponry to take down the large ARC.
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
Our recommended map is Blue Gate due to large ARC abundance and space to find them almost anywhere. Check our Event Timers to know when your next chance is!
There is also a couple of extra Bastion spawns inside the tunnels, which makes it very important to check inside there too.
Solo Lobby
In solo, your best bet to get your 3-star reward for this trial is to head central of the map. Here, you’ll easily find potential Bastion spawns just outside of the tunnels and inside. If there is only one spawn here, you can head up above ground to the Gate Control Room area to clean up additional large ARC. After that is done, you should have more than enough score to extract and claim your rewards.
Squad Lobby
In Squads, you’ll likely do the same as you would in solo. Heading to the center of the map has the most spawn density so it’s important to take control of that zone as fast as you can to secure the score. However, as you’ll see on the map, on the North and South sides of the map, there is a couple of potential spawns. As a result, it might be best to split up and clear up as many Leapers, Bastions and Bombardiers as possible.
Splitting up your squad this way ensures that all 3 lanes of spawns are covered. If Player 1 & 3 are finished fast enough, they can meet player 2 in the middle and head inside the Tunnels etc.
Both the solo & squad methods easily give you the 3-star reward threshold and more!
