First, it was the Rocketeers, now it’s the Bastions that you need to throw Snowballs at for the current Weekly Trial in ARC Raiders!
Thankfully, Bastions are a bit easier to hit with these snowballs. They are larger, slower, and they’re not flying all over the place. But they are also dangerous and threatening, so you need to be careful.
In this guide, we’ll tell you an easy method to complete this weekly trial safely.
The Trial Basics
For the most part, this weekly trial works similarly to the one for Rocketeers before it. We recommend checking out our guide on the Rocketeers trial too, as it tells you the best way to farm a lot of Snowballs in preparation!
Now, the upside here is that Bastions aren’t flying all over the place. So, they’re a lot easier to deal with than Rocketeers. The basics remain the same, though: find and disable a Bastion so that you can dump your loadout of Snowballs into it.
For this trial, the best map is Spaceport during the Cold Snap event. More specifically, you’ll want to go to the Rocket Assembly building on the northeastern part of the map.
Do note, the Cold Snap event isn’t really required to throw Snowballs. However, as the clip above shows, there are 3 snow piles inside the building while the event is on. This allows you to get some more Snowballs, which is quite convenient!
As for your loadout, you want to bring a solid weapon exclusively for damaging the Bastion’s legs. You don’t want too much damage, though, you only need to disable the legs!
We also recommend bringing a solid weapon for PvP, just in case you need to deal with other players. They’re likely to show up as they try this same method or are simply drawn in by the noise. A combination of Venator and Stitcher should work well here.
That aside, we recommend the Looting Mk. 3 (Cautious) Augment. It gives you more inventory space. Don’t bring too much ammo with your loadout either, try to fill your inventory with Snowballs instead.
With those basics down, it’s now time to go over the method itself!
The Method
Now, to complete the trial, you want to first go a bit southwest from the Rocket Assembly building. You can usually find a Bastion around the area. Try to safely get its attention by firing a couple of shots at it.
Once the Bastion is focused on you, start backing up into the Rocket Assembly building and kite the Bastion into it. In there, you want to use the tanks inside the building to hide from the Bastion.
This allows you to easily take shots at the Bastion while remaining relatively safe! At this point, you just need to shoot at its legs to disable it.
After you manage to disable the Bastion’s legs, you just need to start throwing Snowballs at it! That’s all that’s left at this point, just empty your inventory onto it.
Thanks to it being disabled and the tanks inside of the building, you can stay pretty safe while doing this. Plus, you can use the nearby piles of snow to get some extra Snowballs, if the Cold Snap event is active.
So, there you have it! That’s the gist of everything you need to do to complete the “Throw Snowballs at Bastions” Weekly Trial with ease in ARC Raiders. Now that you know the method, you just need to grind it out.
