Weekly Trials

ARC Probes sit in predictable patrol-adjacent positions — clear the nearby ARC first, then sprint the interact animation from a corner so you can't be flanked mid-open.

How to max

• •Probes cluster near ARC patrol waypoints and objective structures — after clearing a patrol, check corners and alcoves in that footprint.
• •The interact animation takes 2–3s and locks your movement; always face a wall or corner while opening.
• •Don't over-clear: kill the 2–3 ARC adjacent to a probe, then open. Pushing the whole room wastes time on a collection trial.
• •Mark probes on your squad HUD so nobody double-tags the same one and wastes circuit time.

Damage any aerial ARC across the map — stage at elevation, lead every shot, and resist the urge to dump ammo into ground units.

How to max

• •Stage on gantries, towers, or elevated ledges — aerial ARC fly predictable travel lanes between structures that you can pre-aim.
• •Lead your shots; Hornets and Wasps accelerate through turns so aim where they're going, not where they are.
• •Reserve a full magazine for each flyer wave — dumping ammo into ground ARC leaves you dry when the cluster arrives.
• •One caller assigns targets by clock position to stop the squad double-focusing one unit while the rest escape.

The Dam's underground tunnel network packs more containers per corridor than any surface zone — clear the ARC patrol once, then sprint back-to-back looting runs before enemies respawn.

How to max

• •Enter from the western vehicle ramp — it has the lightest initial ARC presence and gives you the full tunnel stretch in one unbroken line.
• •The central junction hub holds the highest container density per footprint — prioritize it over the outer spur tunnels on a time-limited run.
• •Clear all ARC on the first pass, then loop back for looting — fighting and opening containers simultaneously doubles your exposure time.
• •Avoid tunnel runs during Hurricane or Night Raid; reduced visibility in enclosed spaces traps squads with no clean exit.

Weekly objective: Damage Fireflies.

How to max

• •Read the in-game objective — partial clears often score worse than one perfect stretch.
• •Assign one voice for callouts; keep DPS on the scoring condition only.
• •Check MetaForge map conditions before you lock a route.

Queens and Matriarchs cycle attack phases with brief transition pauses — max score comes from coordinated burst during those 2–3s windows, not sustained fire during active abilities.

How to max

• •Learn the phase rotation: Queens pause 2–3s between abilities — that's your max-damage window, not during the active ability cast.
• •One player calls phase transitions so the squad bursts together instead of spreading damage across different windows.
• •Bring sustained DPS over spike damage; Queens have large health pools and consistent output beats single-burst builds over a full fight.
• •Keep aggro spread: if the Queen fixates one player, the other two can freely deal damage from behind without interruption.
