Damage Wasps using Light Ammo Weapons: How to get the BEST score in ARC Raiders Trials
To damage Wasps using Light Ammo Weapons effectively:
- Load into any map, our example is Blue Gate due to many flying ARC and open sky on a large map
- Bring some Snitch Scanners with you to spawn more Wasps
- Bring a few extra Stitchers and a ton of Light Ammo so you can get as much score as possible
- Shoot the center of the Wasp and be careful to not break the rotor fans off – you’ll destroy the wasp early and lose score
- Extract when you’re finished
In this guide, we’ll go over how to set-up and attempt this weekly trial to get your 3-star rewards, or to push for more.
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 3,000 score) or pushing to maximize your points for promotion.
Scoring
The key to gaining score in Damage Wasps using Light Ammo Weapons is to avoid shooting the propellers off and focusing the center of the Wasp with your shots. You can expect to get around 220~ points per Wasp on average. You have to use Light weapons though such as a Bobcat or a Stitcher
What you’ll need
For this Trial, the objective requires you to Damage Wasps using Light Ammo Weapons as much possible within the raids time limit. As a result, you’ll mostly need essentials, Snitch Scanner, a few Stitchers – and a ton of ammo. We recommend bringing:
- At least 3+
Stitchers of any level (higher the better for more durability) 
Looting MK.3 (Survivor)
Light Shield- 5+
Shield Rechargers - 10+
Bandages - 1000+ Light Ammo
- 10+
Adrenaline Shots - As many
Snitch Scanners as possible
Can I use a Free Loadout to damage Wasps using Light Ammo Weapons for the weekly Trials?
No, we currently do not recommend using a Free Loadout for this trial. You’ll need hundreds, even thousands of Light Ammo and multiple Light Ammo weapons to complete this trial.
Snitch Scanners
The Snitch Scanner is the most important 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).
Map
You’re able to attempt this trial on any map. However, for our example, we’ve picked Blue Gate for the large map size and open air space. Check our Event Timers to know when your next chance is!
The BEST Location for Maximizing Score
The strategy is simple, you’ll likely spawn on the outskirts of Blue Gate, in the open. Here, you can set-up your position and start throwing some Snitch Scanners.
Each Snitch Scanner spawns 2 Wasps, meaning you can earn around 440~ score per Snitch Scanner. Between each Snitch Scanner, you can look for in-map Wasps patrolling in the sky, and bait them over with some shots.
Once they’re close, you can unload a magazine into the center of the Wasp and pick-up the score. If you’re running low on Snitch Scanners, you can do the same tactic to aggro Snitches over to you. Should you be really good with timing, you can make a Snitch spawn 2 Wasps and a Hornet in, but also destroy the Snitch as it’s leaving – letting you pick up a Snitch Scanner too. However, if this doesn’t seem that easy for you, just simply destroy the Snitch and pick-up the Scanner so it doesn’t spawn a Hornet.
Around 500-700 ammo into using your weapon, based on tier and attachments, your weapon will break. It’s important to have additional Stitchers or Bobcats in your inventory to carry on the trial until you’re out of ammo.
You’ll be aiming to damage and destroy around 12-15 Wasps to get a solid 3,000+ score for the 3-star reward. Once you’re finished, extract and enjoy the rewards!
