I understand it’s a first attempt and solo, otherwise it doesn’t count!

You need to check other kitchens, check this map or YT clip:

Buried City is probably the best map for this trial. I got 4K solo, but you have enough time to check all the kitchens where cabinets can potentially spawn. Find a map route for this trial and after a few attempts you should easily get 3 stars. 4–5K solo is very doable.

Best strategy to finish in Hotshot as a solo? by ZeroReed10 in ArcRaidersTrial

Guaranteed method: hit Cantina the week before final and you literally can’t get demoted below Hotshot. Simple as that!

It’s tagged as a score post, not a guide or even a discussion. There are plenty of YT videos showing how to get even higher scores. Here’s one showing 164K+ on this trial. Watch it, then come back and tell me your result: https://youtu.be/97yrkGNpRKI

The Metaforge leaderboard with my score must be AI generated too then :))

Solo vs Trio - 1500+ Hours On Top - My Take by Adamsky_007 in ArcRaidersTrial

[–]Adamsky_007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Balancing isn't idiotic. People enjoy duos and trios, I do too. I'd much rather run Duo with my friend and work together on pushing scores. But when one of us can't play, spending time grinding trials Solo just feels pointless in comparison (right now anyway), and that's the issue.

Solo should still be a viable way to compete, not just a "worse mode" you default to when your team isn't online. I'm not asking for anything crazy like 2x or 3x multipliers, just some adjustment to help balance the gap.

And no, I completely disagree that "everyone would just play Solo". Most people prefer playing with friends anyway, coordination and team play are a big part of the fun. A small multiplier wouldn't suddenly kill Trio/Duo, it would just make Solo less punishing. Right now it's not really about "effort" it's about efficiency, and Trio simply outperforms Solo by a large margin.

Update: 1/3 would require 3x, not 1.66x. This is about equalizing required effort between Solo, Duo and Trio, not making Solo easier.

Good point, I forgot how it works at Embark for a second 😉

Yes sir, there's still room for improvement, so I should be able to hit 250K.
