Search Backpacks: How to get the BEST score in ARC Raiders Trials
To Search Backpacks effectively:
Load into the Pendola Pass map on any condition
Utilize our Interactive map to track down potential Raider Bag spots
Keep a close eye on tricky to reach or hidden locations
Each Backpack gives 1,000 score, meaning 3 is the minimum to reach 3-star rewards
When you're done, extract and enjoy the 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.
What you'll need
For this Trial, the objective requires searching as many Raider Backpacks within the raids time limit. As a result, you'll mostly need basic medical consumables, a back-up weapon for general ARC clearing and emergencies, and of course, plenty of Adrenaline Shots. We recommend bringing:
Bantam IV or
Anvil IV with a stack or two of 
Heavy Ammo or any gun of preference5-10+
Bandages10+
Adrenaline Shots
Lure Grenades optional
Which map is best for this trial?
Any map is technically fine for this trial. However, we'll use Pendola Pass for this guide due to the sheer amount of potential spawns. Check our Event Timers to know when your next chance is at any preferred conditions!
Utilizing our 3D interactive maps, you'll be able to get a better idea of the exact location of potential Raider Bags!
How to get the best score for this trial
The Trial isn't too difficult overall to complete. However, Raider Backpacks can be in some very tricky spots, or simply just not spawn at all. As a result, we recommend to:
Check out the map above and get a better overview on potential spawns
Plan a route for yourself (even if it's pretty much a straight line) to get from A to B and search everything along the way
Always keep an eye on tricky to reach places
Remember that only 3 are required for the 3-star reward, meaning there is not a huge amount of stress to find them in time
Some Backpacks can be found inside breach-able rooms, such as the Commissary Supermarket spawn. You'll find plenty outside of buildings too, typically hidden in places like entrances to a sewer etc.
Can I use a Free Loadout for the Search Backpacks weekly Trial?
Yes! This trial is pretty similar to searching Husks or other "search" trials in general. As a result, a Free Loadout is more than fine to get the job done - stress-free too!
