- The Arc Raiders Week 27 trials have gone live on May 4, 2026.
- This week's challenges include damaging ARC enemies, searching Kitchen Cabinets, and more.
- The second trial of Arc Raiders Season 4 will be available until May 10, 2026.
Following the Riven Tides update, the newly revamped Arc Raiders trials system kicked off last week. These new Arc Raiders trials, much like previous weeks, provide players with a variety of challenges, including fighting specific ARC enemies or simply looting. Thus, if you are looking to complete every Arc Raiders trial this week (week 27), here’s everything you need to know to wrap up the second set of weekly trials in Season 4.
All Arc Raiders Week 27 Trials (May 4 – May 10)
As usual, there are 5 trials to complete during Week 26 in Arc Raiders. While there is no limitation on the number of matches you need to play, you must 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. That said, here are all the Arc Raiders Trials for Week 27:
- Destroy Fireballs
- Destroy ARC Enemies in the Swamp (Dam Battlegrounds)
- Search Kitchen Cabinets
- Damage any ARC enemies
- Deal melee damage to ARC enemies
These challenges went live on May 4, a week after the Riven Tides update, and will end on May 10, 2026. In the new Season 4 trials, you can no longer score 2x points by playing a map condition. And starting from this season, there will be no objectives that require you to play in a certain map condition (for example, Disarm Mines or Get Hit By Lightning).
Additionally, devs have added new fun objectives based on melee combat challenges, using specific gadgets and utilities or grenades to score points, and searching unique containers. That said, here’s how you can complete each of these weekly trials in week 27:
How to Destroy Fireballs for Arc Raiders Week 27 Trials
As always, the first trial of this week is fairly simple. This time, you need to destroy Fireballs, the common ARC enemies that patrol the ground, to complete the first objective. The fireballs can be easily found in all the buildings. However, if you are careless, they can burn you to death.
As Fireballs can be found in all maps in Arc Raiders, you can hop into any map you like and complete this trial. Lastly, make sure to extract safely once you are done killing the Fireballs, then you can easily 3-star this trial this week in Arc Raiders.
How to Destroy ARC Enemies in the Swamp for Arc Raiders Week 27 Trials
The second objective of this week’s trial also involves destroying ARC enemies. But it is going to be a bit challenging to complete, since you need to take them down in the swamp region in Dam Battlegrounds. So, lock your destination as the Dam Battleground and head to the swamplands.
Once you have reached the place, you can spot plenty of ARC threats, such as Firefly, Wasp, etc., within this region. Pick out the smaller and easier ARC enemies and defeat them only in the swamp. Since the fourth trial of this week involves just damaging the ARC enemies, you can hit two birds with one stone!
How to Search Kitchen Cabinets for Arc Raiders Week 27 Trials
This is a completely new objective added in the new trials system. All you have to do is search the kitchen cabinets available in almost all of the buildings. The kitchen cabinets are available across all the maps, including the new Riven Tides map. This is by far the easiest trial of the week, and you can easily three-star this trial in no time.
How to Damage Any ARC Enemies for Arc Raiders Week 27 Trials
We have yet another easy challenge this week, where we can hop into any one of the maps and start shooting the ARC threats we see right off the bat. As the goal is only to damage ARC enemies, you can easily three-star this trial compared to the rest of the trials active this week.
Since 4 of 5 trials this week are ARC-centric, completing this trial will also boost the progress of other trials. Since you are free to damage any ARC enemies, do not target the big ARCs like the new Turbine or Vaporizer. Instead, aim for the weaker ones like Wasp, Hornet, Fireball, etc., to quickly wrap up this objective.
How to Deal Melee Damage to ARC Enemies for Arc Raiders Week 27 Trials
The final trial of this week is the toughest one to three-star. This is also a completely new challenge introduced in season 4. As Embark devs teased before, we have to deal only melee damage to ARC enemies to complete the trial. Therefore, the best weapons in Arc Raiders won’t help you complete this trial this week.
As we always suggest, choose the weaker ARC enemies over the bigger ones to finish this objective. Aim primarily for ARC threats such as Tick, Pop, and Fireball, which can help you three-star this trial.
And that’s everything you need to know about the week 27 Arc Raiders trials. Make sure to safely extract through the extraction point every raid to earn the points. The second trial of Arc Raiders Season 4 will end on May 10, 2026. So, grind throughout this week and complete the second Weekly Trial of the season to receive great rewards, including the new Blindspot outfit.
