1) Best ways to "Damage Rocketeers" during week 5 Trial

A quick and easy spawn location for Rocketeers is near the Hydrophonic Done Complex. Head to the Dam Battleground map and reach the Dome Point of Interest, located west of The Breach. You will find a Rockeeteer patrolling the skies with a few other ARC enemies like Snitch, Wasp, and Hornet.

Bring a weapon with a high ARC Armor Penetration or use Wolfpack grenades to take down the Rocketeer. There is a Raider Hatch just west of the Hydrophonic Dome Complex.

You can bring a Hatch Key to quickly extract and head back to Dam Battleground to take down more Rocketeers for three stars in the first challenge of ARC Raiders week 5 Trials.

2) Best ways to "Download data during Hidden Bunker" in week 5 Trial

Hidden Bunker is a Spaceport exclusive map event where players must use antennas to unlock a Bunker hidden in the outskirts of the map. The location for the antennas and the Hidden Bunker are marked below on the map.

Once you take care of the ARCs patrolling the entrance, head inside to find consoles where you can download data. Activate these consoles and stay close by. If you get too far away, the light on the console will change from yellow to red. Once the download process completes, the light will turn green, and you will obtain XP as well as challenge progression for ARC Raiders week 5 Trials.

3) Best ways to search "First Wave husks" during week 5 Trial

To complete this challenge swiftly, you must be on the lookout for the Husk Graveyard event. This particular map condition increases the spawn of First Wave husks, which must be located to acquire rewards and progress this week's Trial challenge.

Marked in the map above are husks of three types: Wasp, Rocketeer, and Baron. Since the Old Battlegrounds in the Dam Battlegrounds map is densely packed with these ARC remnants, you can start your match with a Raider hatch key, search as many husks as possible within your given match time, and then extract from the Sunroof hatch southeast of Pale Apartments.

4) Best ways to "Damage Snitches" during week 5 Trial

Snitches can be found right alongside the Rocketeer from our first challenge in this week's Trials. In the Dam Battlegrounds map, head to the Hydrophonic Dome Complex and be on the lookout for Snitches. To take one down, you should have a weapon with high ARC Armor Penetration.

Damaging and killing these ARCs solo will help you progress the Trials faster. However, solo runs do come with the added risk of getting outnumbered by hostile Raider trios. Keep a Raider Hatch Key and Wolfpack grenades so that you can complete the Damage Snitch and Damage Rocketeer Trials in the same session.

5) Best ways to "Damage ground-based ARC enemies" during week 5 Trial

Ground enemies can be easily spotted in the Buried City map. The Marano Park point of interest spawns a Leaper, Bombardier, or Bastion. This makes it easy to queue a match in the map and head to the designated location with a high ARC Armor Penetration weapon.

Additionally, if you want to take on bigger targets, the best way to rack up damage numbers against ground-based ARC enemies is to fight the Queen or the Matriarch. Although these two gigantic bosses are much harder to tackle, you can output constant damage numbers on these machines.

This sums up how you acquire stars during ARC Raiders week 5 Trials. Dam Battlegrounds offers chances to complete multiple challenges in one session. That said, The Blue Gate and Buried City maps are also viable for killing ground-based ARCs or looting husks.
