Destroy Wasps: How to get the BEST score in ARC Raiders Trials
To destroy Wasps as effectively as possible:
- Load into a map such as Riven Tides
- Bring a good weapon for taking out aerial ARC, such as the Bettina (and plenty of Heavy Ammo)
- Farm up and bring some Snitch Scanners to summon 2 wasps extra per scanner
- Earn 250 score per destroyed Wasp, destroying 12 to reach the 3-star reward
- 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.
Scoring
The key to gaining score in destroy Wasps is to head onto a map that is full of flying ARC, open air spaced and enough room to launch some Snitch Scanners. Each Wasp destroyed by you gives 250 score. As a result, 12 wasps is the target for 3,000 score and 3-star rewards.
What you’ll need
For this Trial, the objective requires you to Damage Wasps as much possible within the raids time limit. As a result, you’ll mostly need essentials, a good weapon for killing smaller flying ARC – and a ton of ammo. We recommend bringing:
Anvil IV, 
Renegade or 
Bettina
Tactical MK.2 or 
Looting MK.3 (Survivor)
Light Shield or 
Medium Shield- 10
Shield Rechargers - 10-15
Bandages - 220+
Heavy Ammo (more if you bring Anvil + Bettina) - 320
Medium Ammo (if you bring a Renegade, maybe less ammo if you bring both weapons) - 5-10
Adrenaline Shots - As many
Snitch Scanners as possible
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.
Can I use a Free Loadout to destroy Wasps for the weekly Trials?
While you can probably reach the 3-star reward on a Free Loadout if you’re fortunate enough to find ammo throughout a raid, we currently recommend bringing in your own Loadout. It’ll save you potentially wasting time and the trial itself is not that difficult.
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
For map choice, we recommend a map like Riven Tides. Riven Tides is great for open space, plenty of flying ARC and the map isn’t too big to navigate and rotate through. Alternatively, Blue Gate or Spaceport on the “Locked Gate” and “Hidden Bunker” events can serve you well too due to the increased raid timer.
The BEST Location for Maximizing Score and to obtain the 3-star Reward
The best place to put yourself on the map early on is pretty much dead center, south of Point Authority near the extract.
From here, you can see pretty much every Wasp or Snitch in the area, you can of course move closer towards spawns incase you cannot see them. Before heading to the center, however, we recommend throwing any Snitch Scanners you have on the outskirts you may spawn on. This is because other Raiders are very likely in the center of the map and you’ll potentially lose out on score.
Once you’re out of scanners, pulling additional Snitches to destroy and take their scanners helps push your score even further.
There is plenty of flying ARC packs in the sky throughout the raid, almost always roaming with a Wasp. Look out for these packs as they’re easy to pick a Wasp from, and then go into cover to avoid aggroing the rest.
