With the release of Expedition 2, Embark Studios has released a new set of Arc Raiders trials. These new trials, much like previous weeks, provide players with a variety of challenges, including fighting specific ARC enemies or simply looting as much as possible.

If you are looking to complete every Week 20 trial in Arc Raiders after the deployment of Arc Raiders Expedition 2, here’s everything you need to know.

All Arc Raiders Week 20 Trials (March 16)

There are a total of five Week 20 trials in ARC Raiders. While these are not limited by matches, you need to extract successfully for the Trial progress to count. If you fail to extract after completing a trial and die, any progress you’ve made in any one of the Trial quests will be reset to zero. Here is a full list of all Arc Raiders Trials for Week 20:

  • Get hit by lightning
  • Damage Hornets
  • Damage flying ARC enemies inside the Spaceport walls
  • Damage Bombardiers
  • Deliver Carriables

These challenges will be live from March 16, 2026, till March 23, 2026. Here’s how you can complete each of these trials.

Get Hit by Lightning

This is a brand new trial added to Arc Raiders in Week 20, and it tasks you with getting struck by lightning. Needless to say, this is made easy by the Electromagnetic Storm map condition, which causes lightning to strike around the map. To complete this trial, you simply have to keep an eye out for blue markers on the ground during the storm right before the lightning strikes.

You will gain around 1800 points towards your Trials score for every Lightning Strike you take, thanks to the automatic 2x Electromagnetic Storm modifier. This means you need to tank around 3 lightning strikes to hit the 4,000 maximum score. However, make sure you have enough healing to keep your health topped up between getting struck by lightning bolts. It is advised for you to carry items like Vita Shots and Sterilized Bandages, since these healing items can help you in tanking the hits better.

Damage Hornets

For the next Arc Raiders Week 20 trial, your focus is on damaging Hornets as much as you can during a raid. Thankfully, you can easily find them on every Arc Raiders map, patrolling alongside Wasps, another Arc unit in the game. You can also come across Hornets by shooting a Snitch and letting its alarm play out, which will spawn a Hornet and two Wasps, which can help you reach your goal even faster. The best map to complete this trial on Spaceport is with the Hidden Bunker event active, which will automatically double the points you gain.

You will need to defeat 22 total Hornets to get 4,000 points and 3 stars in this trial without a map condition. With a 2x map condition like Electromagnetic Storm, you can earn 360 points per Hornet kill, which means you will only need to defeat around 12 Hornets to complete this trial.

Damage flying ARC enemies inside the Spaceport walls

Possibly the easiest Arc Raiders trial this week tasks you with simply taking down flying Arc enemies within the confines of the Spaceport walls. This means you just need to stay within the area with all of the major loot zones and take down any flying enemies you see. The trial is not limited to one specific Arc and counts these enemies towards the Trial progress:

  • Snitch
  • Spotter
  • Wasps
  • Hornets
  • Fireflys
  • Rocketeers

Since all of these Arc units grant varying levels of points towards your progression in this trial, there is no set number of ARCs you need to defeat to get the maximum score. It entirely depends on which Arc you are taking down, with Rocketeer Arcs being the most profitable by providing a whopping 1430 points per Rocketeer. With the help of a 2x map condition, this goes up to 2860 points, which means you can get the 4,000 maximum score by simply taking down 2 Rocketeers.

Damage Bombardiers

  • Bombardiers Dam Battlegrounds
  • Bombardiers Buried City

Definitely one of the more challenging Arc Raiders trials of the week is taking on Bombardiers, one of the most dangerous ARC enemies in the game. Accompanied by Spotters who quickly point out your location, Bombardiers are able to rain missile strikes down on your head before you know it. However, these are not impossible to take down.

The very first thing you need to focus on is taking out any Spotters around you. Since these Spotters are responsible for pinpointing your location for the Bombardier, taking them out can make the Bombardier miss its shots more frequently. Here are the best locations to find Bombardiers:

Dam Battlegrounds

  • Primary Facility (Night Raid)

Buried City

  • On the Roof of the Parking Garage
  • Marano Park
  • North of Plaza Rosa

You can earn around 900 points towards your Trial progress with each Bombardier you take down, which is doubled during a 2x map condition like a Night Raid or Electromagnetic Storm, netting you 1,800 points. This means you have to take down 3 Bombardiers to complete this trial with a 4,000 maximum score and 3 stars.

Deliver Carriables

For the last Week 20 trial, you will have to channel your inner good Samaritan and deliver crates to Field Depots or batteries to substations. Since you can find Crates and batteries anywhere on the map, this non-combat-focused trial might sound easy at first, but things get tricky when you’re carrying these deliverables, as you are left completely vulnerable, slower, and louder. This means you have to be extra careful with when and what you choose to deliver.

However, to counter this risk, you can always head out with a free loadout, which might limit your abilities as a combatant but allows you to try completing this trial without worrying about losing your inventory. The best map to try completing this trial on is Dam Battlegrounds, as the map features a ton of Crate spawns. You can also use Adrenaline Shots to give your character a stamina boost and move between crates and Field Depots more quickly.

Delivering a Crate to a Field Depot nets you 500 points per Crate, which is increased to 1000 points with a 2x map condition. This means you only have to deliver 4 crates to reach the maximum score in this trial.

And those are all the week 20 Arc Raiders trials. Will you be deploying from Speranza and completing these challenges? Tell us in the comments below!
