Destroy Ticks Pops and Fireballs using a Stiletto: How to get the BEST score in ARC Raiders Trials

To Destroy Ticks Pops and Fireballs using a Stiletto effectively:

1. Load into any map of your choice. However, we recommend Stellar Montis on any condition
2. Follow the path we lay out in this guide
3. Destroy any Tick, Pop and Fireball you come across with a Stiletto DMR
4. Move between key zones of the map, such as Robotic Sandbox A and B
5. Each destroyed Tick, Pop and Fireball awards 200 score, meaning you’ll need to destroy 15 to get the 3-star reward
6. Extract as soon as you’re ready!

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 destroying as many Ticks Pops and Fireballs as possible with a Stiletto within the raids time limit. As a result, you’ll mostly need basic medical consumables, a Stiletto, and plenty of Light Ammo. We recommend bringing:

• Stiletto IV + 300+ Light Ammo
• Survivor MK.3 Augment
• Medium Shield
• 5 Shield Rechargers
• 5-10 Bandages
• Adrenaline Shots

Which map is best for this trial?

We recommend picking Stellar Montis for this particular trial. Stellar Montis is home to many spawn locations of the 3 types of ARC to hunt. Check our Event Timers to know when your next chance is at any preferred condition you may have when playing.

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 Stiletto (and the loadout previously listed) and begin to rotate between several key locations of the map:

1. Check out the map above to check the POIs and sections that contain Ticks Pops and Fireballs
2. Make sure to fully rotate at length when moving between locations, this is to ensure the original ARC you destroy respawns fast enough
3. Ticks and Pops are taken out typically with 1-2 shots maximum, however, Fireballs will only take 1-2 shots if you wait until they open up to use their flamethrower
4. Each destroyed Tick Pop and Fireball gives 200 score, meaning 15 nets you the 3-star rewards
5. Extract and enjoy your rewards

The main locations you’ll want to check our are:

• Lobby Metro
• Robotic Sandbox A & B (upper and lower)
• Assembly
• Cultural Archives
• Seed Vault (for a large amount of Tick spawns)
• Medical Research & Atrium (these are lower priority but can be nice depending on how the match is going

Using Robotic Sandbox A & B as the main stretch to rotate through allows you to pick up the spawns of Ticks Pops and Fireballs on each side of the map, while returning and finding more to destroy here.

Assembly is quick to reach from either Lobby Metro or Robotic Sandbox, and has a healthy amount of spawns.

Rotating from Robotic Sandbox A & B to Seed Vault lets you access the huge amount of Ticks that spawn within the vault. Right after, you can move up the stairwell to Cultural Archives.

Keep rotating as mentioned and you’ll easily hit 3,000+ score to get your 3-star rewards!

Can I use a Free Loadout for the Destroy Ticks Pops and Fireballs using a Stiletto weekly Trial?

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