U4GM How to Get 3 Stars in ARC Raiders Trials Guide

[iiak32484]

The weekly reset in ARC Raiders always lands at the worst time, doesn't it. You log in, see the new Trials, and it's like the game dares you to chase 3-stars with a straight face. If you're trying to skip the awkward "undergeared and getting folded" stage, having the right kit matters, and I've seen plenty of players start by sorting out ARC Raiders Items before they even queue so they can focus on the run instead of the grind.



1) Build for the Trial, Not Your Habit
Most failed 3-star attempts aren't "skill issues." They're loadout issues. People bring their comfy all-rounder setup into a week that clearly hates it. Check the modifiers and make one simple decision: are you racing, or are you surviving. If it's mobility-heavy, ditch the slow armor and take something you can actually reposition with. If it's low ammo, stop pretending a bullet hose will magically work. Bring precision, bring melee, bring anything that doesn't make you panic every time your mag clicks dry. That one change saves minutes, and minutes are basically the whole scoring system.



2) Route Like You Mean It
You don't need a spreadsheet, but you do need a plan. Trials punish wandering. Pick a clean line between objectives and commit. Doors, ladders, ziplines, whatever's fastest that week—use it. And don't "clear the room" unless the room is blocking your progress. A lot of squads bleed time taking optional fights, then wonder why they missed 3-stars by a hair. You'll also notice the safest path is rarely the shortest. Take angles that let you disengage. Break line of sight. Keep moving. Standing still is how you get boxed in and lose the run to a wipe.



3) Make Team Play Simple
Even with randoms, you can keep it clean. Use pings. Call targets. Don't overtalk. One person should tag the next objective, one person watches flanks, and someone needs to carry the "oh no" tools for when things go sideways. When you hit a boss, don't all empty damage at once into shields or bad windows. Stagger it. Pop gadgets to reveal weak points, strip defenses, then dump your burst when it actually counts. If you miss the rating, don't rage-queue again with the same mistakes. Look at where time leaked: revives, wrong route, or a bad boss phase.



4) Cut the Grind, Keep the Practice
The funny part is you can practice the hard stuff—routes, boss timings, clean resets—without also committing to endless farming. That's where people burn out. If you'd rather spend your sessions improving instead of chasing drops, it helps to gear up in a way that lets you run more attempts, and grabbing an ARC Raiders BluePrint for sale can fit right into that loop so you're testing decisions, not your patience.
