1) Best ways to "damage Hornets" during week 6 Trials

Hornets are a common ARC enemy that patrol various maps in Rust Belt Ridge. They can stun Raiders and deplete their shields very quickly. To tackle this flying menace, you need to shoot down its rotors. However, there is a simple catch. The front two rotors are protected by armor plating.

Bring weapons with high ARC Armor penetration to deal with Hornets. Although these ARCs are found in all base maps, it is advised that you utilize map conditions like Night Raid to make use of the bonus points multiplier awarded for ARC Raiders Trials scores. Additionally, you can trigger Snitches to deploy additional Hornets near your location.

2) Best ways to "Deliver carriables" in week 6 Trials

For the second challenge this week, you have to channel your inner Sam Porter Bridges and deliver items like Field Crates to their respective machines in Field Depots. The best way to acquire stars in this challenge is to head to Dam Battlegrounds and hit up these points of interest to find a Field Depot:

East Broken Bridge
Hydrophonic Dome Complex
South Swamp Outpost
Primary Facility
Water Towers
Red Lakes Balcony

Close to these points of interest, you will find Field Crates that need to be delivered to the machine inside the Depots. Doing so will award points for week 6 Trials.

3) Best ways to "damage Rocketeers, Leapers, or Bastions" for week 6 Trials

Rocketeers, Leapers, and Bastions are a few miniboss ARCs that are occasionally spotted patrolling specific points of interest. To acquire damage points against such enemies, you should ideally head into a Night Mode map condition with items such as Wolfpack, Deadline, or Hullcracker.

Do note that all three of these ARCs are very lethal and can take you out quickly if you mess up your positioning. Bring enough medical supplies to survive an encounter with these robots because extraction is crucial to finalize your Trials score in ARC Raiders.

4) Best ways to "destroy Pops" in ARC Raiders week 6 Trials

Pops are some of the simplest ARC robots you will encounter in Embark Studios' extraction shooter. You must be careful because these white rolling machines can get close to you and explode. However, killing them is very easy since Pops are completely unarmored.

Here are a few points of interest where you can find Pops in Dam Battlegrounds:

Power Generation Complex
Hydrophonic Dam Complex
Water Treatment
Primary Facility
Control Tower
Research & Administration
Testing Annex

The best way to deal with them is to use a weapon as simple as a level 1 Ferro. This means that you can drop into a map condition that awards 2x Trial XP with a Free Loadout and hope that you receive a Ferro. This negates the risk of losing gear while attempting Trials.

5) Best ways to "open ARC Probes" for week 6 Trials

ARC Probes are broken surveillance drones that can be found crashed on the ground across various Rust Belt Ridge maps. To have the best chances of opening multiple such Probes, deploy onto the Dam Battlegrounds or Spaceport map during the Prospecting Probes map condition.

Head to the spots marked in the map above to discover and breach ARC Probes and increase your week 6 Trials score. Additionally, this challenge run can benefit from a Free Loadout as it reduces the risk of losing your gear if hostile Raiders sneak up on you.

This concludes our coverage of week 6 Trials in ARC Raiders. Do note that you can undertake multiple challenges upon encountering Hornets, Pops, and ARC minibosses in a single session. Bring a Medium shield loadout with a high ARC Armor penetration weapon and Wolfpack grenades to breeze through this week's Trials.
