Throw snowballs at Rocketeers

This is a slightly funny task, but it can be dangerous if you aren’t careful. For starters, you’ll find snowballs on maps with the Cold Snap condition active. You’ll want to get to an elevated building since the snowballs won’t have a long range.

You can throw snowballs in the same way you throw a grenade. However, you’ll want to hit and take cover so that the Rocketeer doesn’t hit you with its rockets. Spots like the Control Tower in Spaceport are an excellent spot to kit and target Rocketeers (if you find one at the spot).

Snowballs don’t do any damage, so they don’t contribute to the third task of this week’s trial.

Deal damage to Shredders

For this task, you’ll want to play in Stella Montis. This map, by far, has the highest spawn rates for Shredders. Shredders are typically behind locked doors and rooms, but they can spawn randomly. They’re relatively complex to take down, and you’ll want to use heavy weapons.

To complete the task, you don’t need to eliminate the Shredder. However, doing so will help you get Shredder Gyros, which are required for completing the Expedition 2 project.

Damage flying ARC enemies

This is the easiest of the five tasks, since flying ARCs are easy to spot. They are found on all maps, and you can take down the likes of Hornets and Wasps as they’re easier targets. However, try to avoid targeting Rocketeers since you’re likely going to die in the process.

Open ARC probes

ARC probes are found randomly across all maps. They don’t do any damage, but make noise when you try to breach and open their inventory. This noise can attract nearby ARCs, so be careful. ARC probes also take relatively longer to breach, but they can provide you with valuable rewards.

Destroy Fireballs

Fireballs aren’t my favorite type of enemies. While they’re easy to eliminate, they often end up jumping you when you expect the least. Ideally, you can find them on all five maps, including Stella Montis. I have spotted them frequently in the residential areas of Dam Battlegrounds, like Pale Residence and Ruby Residence buildings.

To destroy a Fireball, you’ll want to keep distance and wait for it to fire. Its core will be exposed, and usually a couple of shots will do the job. Destroying Fireballs will help you get Fireball Burners, which are required to complete the Flickering Flames project.
