Open containers in the Swamp: How to get the BEST score in ARC Raiders Trials
To Open containers in the Swamp effectively:
- Load into the Dam Battlegrounds map
- Head to the Southwest side of the map, the Swamp area
- Search and open every interactable container you find
- Many containers, such as ARC husks and even laying ARC Probes and ARC Couriers give score
- Opening containers gives 200 score. Opening 15 containers gives you the 3-star rewards
- Extract when you’re ready
In this guide, we’ll go over the best ways to approach and open Containers in the Swamp to maximize your score and climb the leaderboard (or just get your 3-star 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 scoring for this Trial only comes from opening containers in the Swamp on Dam Battlegrounds. Each container searched nets 200 score for you and/or your party. You’ll need to open 15 containers for the 3,000 score and get your 3-star rewards.
What you’ll need
For this Trial, the objective requires searching as many containers in the Swamp as possible within the raids time limit. As a result, you’ll mostly need essentials, a weapon for killing small ARC and some good movement utility. We recommend bringing:
- Anvil IV to deal with ARC (and some Heavy Ammo)
Survivor MK.3 Augment (however, you can realistically use any for this Trial)- Light Shield or
Medium Shield - 10
Shield Rechargers - 5
Bandages - 10+
Adrenaline Shots
Can I use a Free Loadout for the “Open Containers in the Swamp” weekly Trial?
Yes, you can use a Free Loadout to get 3,000 score for your weekly 3-star rewards in this Trial. You’ll only need to open 15 containers which can be easily done without a loadout.
Map
The only map you can attempt this Trial on is Dam Battlegrounds. You have to head to the Swamp. Check our Event Timers incase you want to pick a specific condition that you prefer!
The BEST Route for Maximizing Score
For this Trial, there is no need for any major strategy, as the trial allows you to loot any container on the Dam Battlegrounds map. However, you are restricted to only opening the containers in the Swamp of the map. The area is huge, though.
For a fast 3-star or to push yourself as close as possible to 3,000 score, start at the Hydroponic Dome Complex. This POI is both quick to loot and fairly dense with containers in the Swamp.
Almost every container is going to give you score. A couple to note that do not provide score is:
- ARC Probes that are standing up-right
- Field Depot Caches
Make sure to check every section of the Hydroponic Dome Complex, as with a bit of luck, you’ll get 3,000 score from here alone.
Every type of ARC Husk, including the First Wave massive Husks on the map, count towards your score too.
ARC Couriers and ARC Probes that are laying down also provide score for you.
This Trial can be done in a solo or party lobby. Even if a container has been opened already, you can still interact with it and get the score. If you’re in a party, split up across the swamp with one player inside Hydroponic, the other two elsewhere. This method saves time and effort.
