It lists five objectives and dated route suggestions from Insider Gaming. The week number differs between sources: Insider Gaming calls it Week 14, while the ARC Raiders Wiki archive labels January 26–February 1 Week 6. Use the date and objectives to identify the rotation, and check the in-game Trials screen for current objectives and scoring.
How Trials progress works
Embark’s Season 3 overview says Trial progress must be earned within a single raid and retained by extracting safely. As the ARC Raiders Team puts it, “Progress must be made in a single raid – dying results in not only the loss of your gear, but also all your accumulated progress in that raid.” Plan each run around the objective, then extract once you have enough progress rather than risking it for more.
For Season 3, Embark lists reward milestones of 1,000, 2,500, and 4,000 points per Trial, with three stars at the top milestone. It also says weekly competition is organized in pools of 100 Raiders. These are Season 3 figures, not guaranteed values for later seasons; check the in-game Trial screen for the applicable thresholds. The community archive lists different thresholds—1,000, 2,000, and 3,000—so it should not be treated as interchangeable with Embark’s Season 3 guidance.
January 26 Trials: objectives and suggested approaches
Insider Gaming’s January 26 guide describes five Trials in this rotation. Its map and weapon suggestions below are recommendations from that guide, not independently tested routes. Confirm the objective and map conditions in game before setting out.

- ARC Raiders Deluxe Edition includes the base game and the following content: The Wanderer Set, including the following cosmetic items: “Valente” Outfit" “Pathfinder” Backpack,“Blanket Roll” Backpack Attachment.
- Plus: Character Cosmetic, Finger Gun Rapid Fire Emote, Cowboy Scrappy Body Type and Skin, 2 400 Raider Tokens.
| Trial objective | Suggested map or area | Guide’s approach |
|---|---|---|
| Damage Bastions | Stella Montis, especially Loading Bay | Use cover and target the leg joints or rear canister; the guide recommends a heavy weapon and ammunition. |
| Destroy Ticks, Fireballs, and Pops | Enclosed areas on Blue Gate or Stella Montis | Look for these enemy types in enclosed spaces, but watch for clustered enemies that can overwhelm you. |
| Damage Wasps | Blue Gate | Use the guide’s suggested long-range approach and shoot from a distance. |
| Harvest plants | Resource-rich points of interest; Lush Bloom if available | Harvest Great Mullein, Agave, or Mushrooms. The guide says harvestable fruit such as Lemons, Olives, Apricots, and Prickly Pears does not count. |
| Damage Rocketeers, Leapers, or Bastions | Blue Gate: Pilgrim’s Peak for Rocketeers, Reinforced Reception for Leapers, Gate Approach or Traffic Tunnel for Bastions | Choose a target type and area; Bastion damage can also contribute to the separate Bastion-damage Trial. |
How to reduce the risk of losing progress
- Choose a manageable objective first. The guide describes destroying Ticks, Fireballs, and Pops as comparatively easy, but warns that groups can be dangerous.
- Keep the extraction in mind. Trial progress is raid-based, so a death loses that raid’s accumulated progress; extract safely to preserve it.
- Check modifiers and scoring in game. Insider Gaming says qualifying conditions such as Night Raid can double Trial points. That is dated guidance, so verify the active modifier rather than assuming it applies to another rotation.
- Combine compatible work when practical. The guide notes that damaging Bastions can advance both the Bastion objective and the objective that also accepts damage to Rocketeers, Leapers, or Bastions.
Which rotation is this, and is it current?
The objective list here is for the rotation beginning January 26, 2026. The date is a clearer identifier than the week number because the sources disagree: Insider Gaming calls it Week 14, while the ARC Raiders Wiki archive calls January 26–February 1 Week 6. The available archive does not establish the live Trials rotation on October 8, 2026, so do not use this historical objective list as current-season guidance.
