The Week 13 Trials in ARC Raiders are now live, and the latest one can be a lot more challenging than what we’ve had over the last few weeks.
Once again, you’ll need to complete five different tasks. All five tasks have to be repeated a few times if you want three stars. This guide will briefly explain everything you need to secure the best rewards.

ARC Raiders Week 13 Trails walkthrough
There are five tasks to complete in Week 13.
- Damage Queens or Matriarchs
- Search First Wave Husks
- Damage flying ARC enemies
- Deal damage to Shredders
- Open ARC Probes
Damage Queens or Matriarchs

Embark is really turning up the steam with this task. Damaging the Queen and the Matriarch is no mean feat since they’re the two most dangerous enemies. The Matriarch spawns during its own event, while the Queen spawns during the Harvestor event.
The image above shows where you can find the Matriarch on the Dam Battlegrounds map. Unfortunately, you’ll need to play in a party if you want to do sufficient damage without getting killed in the process.
Search First Wave Husks

First Wave Husks are the remains of gigantic robots that broke down during the war. They’re located on all maps. For simplicity’s sake, I have used the Dam Battlegrounds map. If you reach the locations marked on the image above, you should find the required First Wave Husks.
Some of these areas could have ARC enemies, so be careful. Keep an eye out for valuable loot, too, while you’re at it.
Damage Flying ARC enemies
The third task is the easiest of all, since you can simply target all the flying ARCs and do damage. Unless you want to hardball the entire task, you should avoid Rocketeers at all costs. However, damaging stronger ARCs will reward you with more XP, so that’s something to keep in mind.
Deal damage to Shredders

We had this task in recent weeks, and once again, you might have to travel to Stella Montis. The dark corridors and the locked doors of the map are perfect for encountering a Shredder. To complete the task, you don’t need to actually destroy a Shredder.
The Shredder typically does damage in a circular radius, so you need to stay clear. There’s a brief charging-up period for its attack, which serves as the best hint. If you’re in a party, one member should act as bait while the rest of the team can deal the necessary damage.
Open ARC Probes

ARC Probes are gigantic robots that can be found in random areas. While they’re harmless on their own, the probes will make a considerable noise as you try to open them. Looting them can fetch you valuable resources, but the noise may attract unwanted attention.
If you reach a probe that has already been opened, it won’t count towards getting the required XP.
