Arc Raiders Trophy Guide & Roadmap

You can purchase 1 Raider Key every 24 hours from the Security trader for a cost of 9,000 coins once you reach level 12, or create one at the Workshop Utility Station with 1x Advanced Electronics and 3x Sensors once it has been upgraded to Level 2. Once you have obtained one, you will need to make sure you have it included in your inventory when you start a match. Generally it is a good idea to keep a Raider Key in a safe pocket whenever you enter a match, then keep it there unless you find something like a blueprint that you have more desire to keep in case you are knocked out.

Once you have the key in a match, look for the Raider Hatches that will be marked on the map with a circle that has an arrow pointing down into it. They have different names in each location, but all require 1 Raider Key to use. If you just want the trophy you can go directly to a hatch immediately and exit, or wait until you have some items to extract. Interact with the terminal on the hatch to open it using the key and exit the match.

Note that Night Raid and Electromagnetic Storm match types don’t include any active Raider Hatches.

If you don’t find one earlier, you are automatically given a Dam Surveillance Key during the quest Greasing Her Palms given by Celeste early in the line of quests and are required to enter the room for the quest objective. Other later quests also give more keys, and you can receive a few from the Keyholder Pack on Page 5 of the first Raider Deck.

This opens the locked door in the Water Treatment Control building in Dam Battlegrounds. This is a common door for players to open, so even if you don’t have a key and are nearby you can check to see if the room is open and anyone has left anything behind, just watch in case another player is present and doesn’t want you coming in to take their items.

If you don’t earn this during normal gameplay, an easy way to earn it is during the Lush Blooms map event that appears occasionally on all maps. This event will have woven baskets spawned around the map, particularly at Raider Camps. These baskets include fruit and the other food items, which have quite a high sell value and each stack up to 10 each. Go around and find a handful of baskets and you can easily extract with well over 50,000 credits worth of the food items.

Note that if you are doing the vendor quests you automatically receive a Tier IV Ferro, but this doesn’t unlock the trophy as you need to upgrade the weapon to Tier IV yourself. If you find a Tier III weapon you can upgrade it to Tier IV to earn the trophy, you don’t need to upgrade a weapon right from Tier I.

This trophy is awarded for reaching level 75, which is the current maximum level in the game, awarding you with a total of 76 skill points to use in the skill tree. XP is awarded during matches for all actions you take, including opening containers, damaging ARC or other Raiders, and a bonus for successfully extracting during a match. This will likely be the last trophy that you earn during you game if you are actively working on other trophy requirements.

While playing matches normally, the best way to earn XP is to make sure you loot all possible containers that you see. You are still awarded the XP for looking in containers even if they have already been opened by someone else and you don’t take anything, so even if you are full up on loot you can interact with then immediately back out of containers to earn XP for looting them.

If you are specifically trying to gain XP, the best way is to bring a Hullcracker into a match and then destroy the larger ARC enemies such as the Bastion or Bombardier. You receive a large amount of XP for damaging and then destroying these enemies, then can loot each individual part that they drop when destroyed for further bonuses. If you do this in a squad you can earn huge amounts of XP during one match if you rotate around the map as a group and keep taking out the ARC as they respawn over time. NOTE: XP for damaging ARC and from looting Bastion and Bombardier sections has been reduced in the Nov. 13, 2025 patch, but this is still a viable way to earn a lot of XP per match, just less than before.

This trophy is marked as MISSABLE as your player level is reset if you decide to finish the Expedition Project and then follow through with sending off your Raider once the departure window becomes available. This functions as an account reset, and resets most aspects of your account including your level in exchange for some bonuses such as extra skill points and XP bonuses. Unlike most other extraction shooters the reset is optional and not forced, so you don’t need to work on the Expedition Project and reset your account if you don’t want to, so if you haven’t earned this trophy yet make sure not to follow through with the reset until you earn it if you don’t want to level up to 75 again.

While working on station upgraded it is recommended that you enter the upgrade menu for each of them and then track the materials. This will highlight materials if you ever encounter them in matches, making sure that you don’t miss them. The blue topside materials can be found in the location associated with their material types, while the ARC enemy materials can be found by destroying and then looting the enemy they are associated with.

To reach level 3 on most station you will be required to get materials from the higher level ARC enemies: Leaper, Rocketeer, Bastion, and Bombardier. Each enemy has a specific weakness that makes dealing with them much easier once you know what it is.

Leapers are extremely weak to fire, and can be taken out extremely quickly if you Blaze Grenades. You can receive these while looting or make them yourself if you obtain the Blaze Grenade blueprint, but if not you can also destroy Fireball ARC and use the Fireball Burner they drop to work as a slightly weaker Blaze Grenade. Bait a Leaper into a spot where it can’t easily reach you such as the door to a building, then throw the Blaze Grenade or Fireball Burner directly at it to light it on fire. You can take out a Leaper with two direct hit Blaze Grenades, then loot each of its limbs and center to obtain at least 1 Leaper item.

Bastions and Bombardiers attack in different ways, but both have effectively the same weakness. You can shoot the yellow ball joints on their legs to destroy them, which will temporarily stun then when their legs break. You can also shoot the yellow cylinder on their back to deal more damage. Throwing explosives underneath them is also very effective to deal damage. If you want to take them down extremely quickly, you can use the Wolfpack Grenade or the Hullcracker to deal large amounts of damage. Both of these enemies drop a large number of lootable sections, so you can generally find at least 2 – 3 of each of their Epic items if you make sure to search all sections, or upwards of 8 – 9 if you destroy one during a Night Raid or Electromagnetic Storm event.

Rocketeers are the only current flying higher level ARC, and can be tough to deal with depending on your setup. Like the Bastion and Bombardier you can quickly deal with them with the Wolfpack Grenade or Hullcracker (a Wolfpack used only on a Rocketeer will almost entirely destroy it in one shot) but if you want to take on out using Heavy Ammo weapons such as the Anvil you can as well.  Get inside a building with multiple windows such as the apartments on the very north side of Dam Battlegrounds, then continually peak out and shoot the thrusters on the Rocketeer to destroy them. Once you destroy two of the thrusters the Rocketeer will fall out of the sky and explode like the other flying ARC enemies, allowing you to loot its items.

To do this on a normal return point, you can wait at a return point until the match timer is about to run out, then activate the return point to call it in. If you are standing beside an activated return point once the match timer hits 0 you won’t be immediately killed by the explosion that occurs, and can then still extract as long as you aren’t knocked out by other means before you can exit through the extract.

To do this on a Raider Hatch, wait at the hatch until there is around 20 seconds left on the clock, then interact with the console to open the hatch. Then wait until there is 5 seconds left, and interact with the open hatch to immediately exit.

If you want to try doing this yourself, you can down yourself with a grenade while inside the extract point after calling it. Standing inside and wait for the timer to reach around 15 seconds left on the terminal, then throw a grenade at your feet to down yourself, then wait out the rest of the timer to extract.

Currently for most players this trophy does not unlock correctly. For some players it will still unlock normally, but for most players visiting the Practice Range doesn’t currently trigger the trophy on first entry. Some player have been able to have it unlock by repeatedly entering and leaving the Practice Range, but has taken upwards of 3 hours so this would only be recommended if you are only missing this trophy and want to spend potentially a few hours trying this.

This trophy is awarded for visiting the Practice Range for the first time. The Practice Range can be accessed through the map selection menu after you have played at least 4 rounds on Dam Battlegrounds.

An example of pinging the Snitch that flies around the Control Tower in Dam Battlegrounds, which is 349 meters away. Note if you try it with a Snitch like this they will be alerted to you even if you miss them, and will start rapidly moving toward you until they lose track of you.

Once you have interacted with the station to shoot the flare, watch where it is going above you and stand directly underneath it, as that is exactly where the Supply Drop will appear. You can stand directly under the flare and let the Supply Drop land directly on you. This doesn’t damage you, just knocks you out of the way and will award the trophy.

This also counts if you open a Raider Hatch and go through it first before your squadmates, even if they are also exiting with you.

Defibrillators can be rarely found while looting, given in the Free Loadout, purchased from the Clinic trader for 3,000 Coins once you reach level 12, or created at the Medical Lab Workshop station if you obtain the Blueprint for them.

Around the exterior of the ramps leading to the towers you need to search for a rectangular battery. These can generally be found either beside the small bunkers with ladders leading to the tunnels around the launch pad, or inside the rocket thrusters that are sitting around the area.

Once you have the battery, carry it up the ramp and into the rooms on either tower that are underneath the walkways. In these rooms there is a generator where you can insert the battery, then pull the lever on the side. This allows you to enter the rooms on either side of the generator, which contain ziplines that take you to the top of the tower.

The easiest way to do this involves having a Jolt Mine, a Gas Grenade, and either a Blaze Grenade or Fireball Burner. The Jolt Mine and Gas Grenade can both be bought from the Grenades & Gadgets trader, whereas the Blaze Grenade or Fireball Burner you will likely need to find in a match if you don’t obtain the Blaze Grenade blueprint.

Once you have at least one of all three, enter a match with all three items and then so low level gear you don’t care about losing if you accidentally die while triggering the statuses or on the way out of the match. Find a place where you are be against some sort of wall and first place the Jolt Mine on the ground. Once the mine is set through the Gas Grenade on the wall in front of you, then quickly switch to the Blaze Grenade or Fireball Burner and throw it on the ground at the Jolt Mine. This should set off the Jolt Mine, while burning you and being inside the gas, awarding the trophy.

Note if you played prior to the trophy being fixed you can now enter matches and it should correctly track any new damage.

There are two ways you can go about doing this, either by jumping on top of the Rocketeer from on top of a building while it is flying, or by stunning the Rocketeer with either a Showstopper Grenade or Hornet Driver, then climbing on top of it when it falls to the ground. While on top you can then shoot the top of the Rocketeer until the trophy unlocks.

If you want to earn this by jumping on top of a Rocketeer without stunning it, the best map to accomplish this is Buried City. On the west side of the map around the taller buildings there will normally be at least one Rocketeer slowly flying around. Wait for it to fly near the rooftop you are on and jump toward it. Be aware if you are doing it this way the Rocketeer will attempt to knock you off after around 15 – 20 seconds, so don’t do this with a bunch of items in your inventory you don’t want to lose.

Once you have at least 1 grenade, you will need to find 3 enemies together in a match. The easiest way to do this is by triggering a Snitch so that it spots you, then will always summon 3 enemies to attack you. If you have Snitch Scanners from destroying them you can also throw these yourself to summon three enemies at the location where you throw the grenade. Once you have found a group of three enemies, wait for them to be nearby and aim and throw the Wolfpack in the air toward them. The grenade will explode in the air, releasing the rockets and tracking toward any nearby ARC enemies.

Note for this and the other two trophies for destroying specific enemies the trophy only unlocks for the player who deals the final blow and receive the “ARC Destroyed” XP bonus, so if you are fighting one and there is another player nearby the trophy won’t unlock if they get the final blow on it.

Throwing explosives underneath them is also very effective to deal damage. If you want to take them down extremely quickly, you can use the Wolfpack Grenade or the Hullcracker to deal large amounts of damage quickly to them.

The Queen has an extraordinary amount of health, so you will need to be well prepared before entering a match where you want to attack one. It is possible to defeat one completely solo, but you will generally need a Hullcracker with 10-12 stack of ammo, along with a couple Wolfpack grenade for safety, especially if you want to try and loot the Queen Cores after as this will help you deal with the Rocketeer that will be hanging around the Harvester. You’ll likely need a purple level Augment to have enough space for all of the ammo, along with a decent amount of healing items. If you are doing this solo, you may also want to bring Barricades and Door Blockers to stop other players coming in behind you and attacking you.

The Harvester event appears on the Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and Blue Gate maps, with the easier two maps to fight it on being Dam Battlegrounds and Spaceport. On Dam Battlegrounds you can stand in the room on the southeast corner of the Power Generation complex that is directly overlooking the Harvester location, whereas on Spaceport you can either standing in the tower along the wall northeast of the Harvester, or the group of buildings to the southwest. Whichever location you choose, you goal is primarily to use the Hullcracker to damage the Queen. You can target either the joints on the top of legs, or the blue lights on the face. If you put enough damage into the leg joints they will be destroyed and deal a lot of damage like the Bastion and Bombardier, though these are harder to hit than just launching the grenades at the Queen’s face. The two attacks that the Queen will use that you’ll need to avoid are a blue laser that will hit from effectively any distance, and rockets that it will launch toward you that explode into fire on the ground. The mentioned locations on the two maps are very good for this as they allow you to easily avoid the blue laser by crouching behind the walls, and move out of the way of the rockets when they are launched toward you.

Note like the other two trophies for destroying specific enemies this only unlocks for the player who deals the final blow, so if you defeat it and didn’t receive the trophy it is because another player dealt the final bit of damage. If you are working on this with a squad have the other players stop shooting when the Queen lights on fire so that the person earning the trophy can deal the last bit of damage. It may be helpful to save multiple Wolfpack grenades when doing this to put a lot of damage in at the end and guarantee the trophy.

Two locations where they seem to be most common are on Dam Battlegrounds on the walls on either side of the Breach, or on Spaceport on the rooftop of the Departure building. Once you find one, you can carefully sneak up behind it as long as it doesn’t spot you. If you can get within melee distance they are no longer a danger to you, as the barrel is longer than how close you can get, so if you are standing directly beside it, it cannot shoot you. Once you’re close enough take out your Raider Tool and melee it until it explodes, awarding the trophy.

The Lure Grenade can be found as loot during matches, or created with the Lure Grenade Blueprint which is gained by completing the quest Greasing Her Palms from Celeste, and can then be crafted when you have the Utility Station at level 2. You can also obtain 3 of them from the ARC Hunter pack on page 2 of the first Raider Deck.

Once you have a Lure Grenade one of the easier ways to do this would be on the map Buried City. On the west side of the map there is typically a Rocketeer flying slowly around the apartment buildings. As long as it hasn’t spotted you, throw the Lure Grenade at it to trigger any other nearby drones to attack it.

If you prefer to try this on a Leaper you can achieve this on the Dam Battlegrounds map, which typically has a Leaper walking around either the Water Treatment Elevator or west of the Red Lakes Balcony lift.

In any situation while using the Lure Grenade, you need to make sure that there are other drones nearby when you use it. The active time of the Lure isn’t very long, so if there aren’t other drones right nearby then they likely won’t make it over in time before the Lure runs out. If you’re struggling to get other drones nearby you can use a Snitch Scanner to call some in before throwing the Lure.

Be aware that the trophy seems to require the drones put a bit of damage into the other ARC to trigger the trophy, so if it doesn’t work the first time the drones may not have done enough damage to trigger it.

If you don’t want to try and do it this way, you can try convincing another player during a match to help you by calling the ARC in to down them, destroying the drones, then reviving them.

If you don’t earn this during normal gameplay, you can boost this with a squadmate by dropping items from your inventory and having them pick them up and thank you each time.
