Harvest Plants: 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 the best ways to Harvest Plants to maximize your score (or get your fill and get out) and etch your place in the Speranza Hotshots.

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 “Harvest Plants” involves just interacting with a maps fauna. However, the best bet is to farm Great Mullein.

What you’ll need

For this Trial, the objective requires destroying as many Ticks as possible within the raids time limit. As a result, you’ll mostly need essentials, a good weapon for killing smaller to medium ARC. We recommend bringing:

• Anvil IV (Can be Anvil I but IV is preferred for the Fire Rate)
• Tactical MK.2
• Light Shield
• 5-10 Shield Rechargers
• 10-15 Bandages
• 5-10 Adrenaline Shots
• 80+ Heavy Ammo
• 2-5 Smoke Grenades
• 3 Trigger ‘Nades (Optional)

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.

Free Loadout

This Trial is easily done on a Free Loadout too. If you wish to proceed with absolutely no risk to loot while attempting the Trial – this is your best bet.

Map

The best maps to push for the maximum score possible is Buried City as a solo or Spaceport as a Duo/Trio with a 2x Modifier enabled. Check our Event Timers to know when your next chance is!

The BEST Route for Maximizing Score

The following routes serve best depending on whether you’re solo or part of a team.

Solo

For Solo, we recommend heading to Buried City as a result of quick and easy pathing. First, simply make your way to the Galleria POI.

The Galleria is home to multiple floors full to the brim with Great Mullein to Harvest. As a result, you’ll easily reach the 3-star reward minimum for the week. However, this can easily be your highest score pusher for the week solo.

If you want, you can move to the other locations of Great Mullein as seen on the map. They’re a little more out of the way, although being an extra boost to your score is nice.

Duo/Trio

For group play, we highly recommend Spaceport as the map of choice for maximum score. Spaceport is generally better for a group due to the ability to split up and cover more of the map. As a result, you can farm the entire map with much less time spent. Be aware, however, that this leaves you open to hostile Duos or Trios outnumbering you suddenly on a route.

As seen above, separate each of your Duo/Trio to the locations we have put a focus on. Each group member can complete their area of the map in ample time. There is also a good amount of Great Mullein at the lower base of the Launch Tower. Any of the team, however, can go and harvest these plants as its pretty close to every route. You could also use the Launch Tower as a regroup point before extracting.

This route yields the highest score without a doubt and guarantees you a great score for the weekly leaderboard.
