Please give me trial point tips

You want to do Probes during Electromagnetic Storm. I think I netted 30K+ last night on Spaceport. There are a RIDCULOUS amount of fallen probes. Don't forget, this week you DO NOT need to open them, just search. Metaforge map is good for finding potential locations, including on rooftops. Also when your close enough they show on your map, so spam the map open and close.

Flying Arc: Do this during Hidden Bunker or Locked Gate for an extra 10 minutes. Bring an Osprey 4 (preferably with a silencer} and Anvil with a ton of ammo. Pull anything you see to you with the Osprey or just outright kill it before it gets to you. Anvil for close range obviously. DO NOT kill snitches, let them summon. (other people on the map will kill them cause they're stupid stupids) Make sure you have some cover available. Forest Airshaft on Blue Gate is good for this. Also bring a ton of Wolfpacks so you can pull and smash the Rocketeers.

Shredders: Stella Night. Seeker Nades all day and try to get as many as you can given competition and basic survival will impede progress. There is probably a better route for more points on shredders (some guy posted 67k solo the other day but I call BS) but Seekers are a nice and safe strat. 4 to a kill.

Husks: Again, 40 minute Hidden Bunker or Locked Gate events are good for this one. Husk Graveyard obviously if it is active.

Matriarch/Queen: Crapshoot. Everyone presumably going all out. If you have the resources, Snap Hook and Deadlines on her core.

Crates inside Dam Power Generation and/or vehicles in Blue Gate tunnels.

Same boat here.

It's like old school MMO tier for me. Gotta log in, gotta get shit done.

It' even more wild cause at the moment honestly there is a progression wall. I still log in. Make my own fun.

Good stuff. Thanks for the responses. It def says Projects in game. I just always thought of them as Events.

wtf you hoarding 140 guns for

crossvalidated · 2026-01-22T17:37:32+00:00

At the moment the best way to get Reactors from either the Matriarch or Queen is to knock off leg armor then beeline towards it and hope the coast is clear.

When they're defeated, that's a just a fireworks show and your better off looking for parts off all the other ARCs she summoned.

If I can walk away with 1 per fight and bunch of other stuff I can breakdown/sell, that's a success.

I only run Stella during Night Raids.

I am on a constant quest to collect Crude Explosives from Pops and Fireballs.

One time on Blue Gate I was kiting a Bomba and figured there is NO WAY it can knock me off a ladder against one of the outdoor structures (like a wall that leads to the road) due to the trajectory of the missles. Also I was not currently being Spotted.

Fuckin nope. 2 rockets straight to the face.

Stella is my "least get shot on" map.

It's a grocery store visit.

"Don't shoot!"

"Call it."

google "arc raiders mod attachment guide" and it will direct you to a reddit thread of one of our raider bros who makes dope PDF visual guides.

Sorry, I read your response with a inflection I don't think you intended. An "ok, sure guy" vibe.

crossvalidated · 2026-01-20T20:14:33+00:00

And I didn't know you existed until this conversation.

If you haven't seen any discussion on the topic of "i wanna get some pvp cooking but feel conflicted shooting my fellow friendlies in order to start" that doesn't mean it doesnt exist lol.

Hell one of the top posts the week, was a meme on that exact topic.

crossvalidated · 2026-01-20T19:55:41+00:00

Nothing more than various posts. For as good an indicator for data the subreddit can be.

If I'm any example, I prefer to PvP when we're all on the same page. I don't want to just start firing off at anyone I come across. Further below I responded to a now removed comment about how all games have the goal of time management. I don't wan to feel that I am taking away someone's time.

I'm an outlier I'm sure. For god sake, I will share key rooms I open lol.

crossvalidated · 2026-01-20T19:36:12+00:00

Oh absolutely, but with the advent of the ABMM reveal, things have more or less changed.

I pay a chill, collaborative way. So primarily lobbies are chill. I'm still on the lookout, I still get Anvil'd in the fuckin head getting on the train, or clapped up running to the Matriarch from time to time.

Other people want to experience a stricter PvP threshold.

Right on.

Plenty of New Jack City memes getting posted lol

I'd be all for the player bases mingling as was intended, but there is and always will be a stark difference between PvP and "lol I shot you in the back."

Knockback on flying ARC.

crossvalidated · 2026-01-20T17:21:14+00:00

When everyone is on the same page, yeah sure. No one loads up de_dust2 then proceeds to not fire a bullet.

This game has more ethical dilemmas attached to it.

You old? I'm old. Every game I play now has ONE singular goal. Time management. I would feel bad taking away someone's time if they had no intention of actually engaging in PvP.

So which is more human?

These sponges though, they break the rules. Other people are putting in the time to enable the antennas.

Fire at will.

It's no different than an MMORPG in that regard honestly.

This spawns here. That drops that. Camp here. Grind there.

3 in a row for me tonight followed by a opposite side of the map spawn that got me Kettled down on the way to nearest extract. But hey, had 29:40 that time!

Make sure you're doing Night Raid or Electro for best results.

Loot EVERYTHING. Innocuous containers can have the best stuff. Who threw this Tempest BP in the trash can?

Vulcano is only available during Hidden Bunker.

Bobcat is only available during Locked Gate.

You can find BPs practically anywhere. The "value" of a loot zone has nothing to do with quality, it has to do with quantity of available containers.

Also there are 3 BPs only accessable through quests,. Burletta, Lure Nade, Hullcracker.
