Download Information Inside the Bunker: How to get the BEST score in ARC Raiders Trials

Trials in ARC Raiders brings together the community to complete various challenges week by week to be placed on a competitive leaderboard. Raiders are tasked with participating in 5 different Trials (which rotate into a new set of Trials every week too). The goal is simple – gain as much score as possible in each Trial objective in an attempt to promote in Trial Rank. Of course, plenty of Raiders only want to cash in their quick 4000 score for the 3-Star rewards each week too. In this guide, we’ll go over how to Download information inside the Bunker for maximum score.

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 4000 score) or pushing to maximize your points for promotion.

Scoring

The scoring for “Deliver information inside the Bunker” is easy. This weekly Trial can only be attempted on the Hidden Bunker event on Spaceport. Check our Event Timers to know when your next chance is!

What you’ll need

For this Trial, the objective requires you to enter the Hidden Bunker and activate up to 8 Download Consoles inside and collect data. Fortunately, you shouldn’t need much, as the lobbies are usually friendly – especially in solos. However, we recommend bringing a light amount of gear with you mainly for healing items:

• Anvil IV (Can be Anvil I but IV is preferred for the Fire Rate)
• Any Augment (even an Uncommon)
• Light Shield
• 5 Shield Rechargers
• 5-10 Bandages or 5 Herbal Bandages
• 40+ Heavy Ammo

Free Loadout

Free Loadouts are also totally fine to use for this Trial attempt. All you’ll be looking to do is interacting with Download Consoles and co-operating with other players. As a result, a pre-made kit is not a must.

Map

As previously mentioned, the map of choice is Spaceport on the Hidden Bunker event. There is no alternative for this weekly Trial.

How to Maximize your Score

This method works the same whether you’re solo or in a group. However, we recommend solo lobbies due to the heavy PvE player influence in this category.

There is no specific “best” way to approach this trial, rather, you’ll need to follow the objectives of the Hidden Bunker event to reach the inside.

Each Download Console nets you 1200 score. This means you’ll only need to activate 4 Download Consoles to reach a 3-star reward. There is 8 Download Consoles total, allowing you to reach a cap of 9600 score.

It is important to note that you have to interact with the Download Console and sit next to it, waiting for the download to complete. You’ll be able to track the progress by watching the left monitors green bar.

Once it completes, you’ll be able to interact again with the Download Console to collect the data.

Opening the Hidden Bunker

At the start of the raid, you’ll see on the map that there is 4 Antenna icons – typically located on top of buildings. These Antenna can spawn in slightly different locations. The first objective is for the players in the lobby to activate each of these Antenna by interacting with them. Doing so will open the Hidden Bunker to all players.

The 4 Antenna can be activated in any order. As previously mentioned the can spawn in slightly different locations, however, they’re always in the South, East, West & North section of the map as seen above. Each time an Antenna is interacted with, a set of ARC drops down from the sky to attack players. As a result, you’ll have to deal with them or help others do so. Usually, it’s Wasps and Hornets.

Heading inside the Bunker

The Hidden Bunker is now open. You’ll want to head to the location above on the map, just below the Departure building. There is multiple entrances to the Bunker.

Downloading information from the Download Consoles

There is no specific order to download the data from the Download Consoles. However, some Download Consoles are active while others are not at the same time. As a result, you’ll have to get familiar with the locations of them. Friendly solo players often call out when a Download Console is active by them – listen out!

Download Console 1

The first Download Console you’ll come across is located on the top floor of the Bunker, right next to the south entrance. Remember that they’re not always active, but you can keep in mind the location. You can see if a Download Console is active or not by the little light on the top. If it is red – it is currently inactive. As a result, seek out the greenlit or yellow Download Consoles.

Download Console 2

Heading down the nearest staircase brings you to Download Console 2, tucked away in the right corner. Here you can see a yellow light, indicating it’s downloading the data.

Download Console 3

In the next room, tucked into a small dead-end, you’ll find the third Console. It can be easy to miss while passing through, so keep an eye out on your first time through.

Download Console 4

Heading straight into the metal walkway room, just up the steps is the fourth Download Console. This area can be misleading due to an underlayer that has nothing useful there.

Download Console 5

Continuing on the walkway, enter the next room and take a right. This’ll lead to the entrance to another room containing the fifth Download Console.

Download Console 6

After using the fifth Console (or if it was inactive), continue left into the next room. The room is a pretty large open room, you’ll see the Console on the right.

Download Console 7

Once the seventh Console is done (or if it isn’t activated), continue on through the door opposite to the one you came in through. Immediately, you’ll see another Console.

Download Console 8

Finally, head into the door that leads to a corridor full of pipes and a metal walkway. Follow it all the way through and you’ll be lead to the final 8th Console, covered in webs.

Making sure that you download information inside the Bunker 8 times, you’re free to get out and extract! You’ll have reached maximum score after this.

Quick way to get 3-star score and rewards

Due to the nature of the “Download information inside the Bunker” Trial, there is only one way to reach your 3-star score and get your rewards. All you have to do, is interact with only 4 of the 8 Consoles and extract. 4 Consoles nets you 4800 score.
