Trials are a rotating set of weekly challenges which task you with nabbing high scores to rank up, all in the pursuit of a unique outfit.

Previously, Trials were unavailable during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/arc-raiders-expeditions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Expedition<\/a> window, but now they&#8217;re kicking off earlier. It&#8217;s a small change but it&#8217;s nice nonetheless, giving you more time and fewer restrictions around when you can start climbing the leaderboard. This comes alongside previously announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/embark-admits-grinding-for-monetary-value-isnt-fun-so-future-arc-raiders-expeditions-will-reward-you-for-smashing-bots-instead\/\" target=\"_blank\">changes to the Expedition to reward you for killing bots<\/a> instead of hoarding loot.<\/p>\n<p>Removing unnecessary restrictions seems to be the theme of this first wave of changes, as Embark is also making it so major map conditions no longer reward double the points. It sounds terrible at first glance, I know, but the idea is sound: you&#8217;ll be able to complete Trials on any map and condition you like, and won&#8217;t be forced to grind specific ones.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-eBxYkO\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/eBxYkO.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In line with this, Trial challenges that were tied to specific map conditions are being removed or reworked, such as &#8216;disarm mines&#8217; or &#8216;get hit by lightning&#8217;. Previously, if you couldn&#8217;t play during the scheduled hours of these specific events, you were out of luck. The strict schedule of events is a separate issue the developers have been monitoring and improving for some time now\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/arc-raiders-close-scrutiny-assessors\/\" target=\"_blank\">Close Scrutiny<\/a>, for example, is permanently active.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, Embark is improving the challenges directly: &#8220;We hear you\u2014Trials challenges need more variation, and Season 4 intends to deliver. Without revealing our hand early, expect to see some exciting new objectives throughout the upcoming season, like melee combat challenges, using specific gadgets\/grenades to score points, and searching\u2026 unique containers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure role=\"gallery\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arc-raiders-is-finally-overhauling-its-competitive-trials-starting-with-making-them-more-fun-and-less-frustrating.jpg\" alt=\"Arc Raiders: A character wearing the Recon outfit (the Season 4 Trials reward) while reloading a rifle, against a purple background.\" \/><figcaption>Trials Season 4&#8217;s new Recon outfit.<small role=\"credit\">Embark<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arc-raiders-is-finally-overhauling-its-competitive-trials-starting-with-making-them-more-fun-and-less-frustrating-1.jpg\" alt=\"Arc Raiders: A character wearing the Torgue outfit (the Season 3 Trials reward) holding a pistol down in their left hand, against a purple background.\" \/><figcaption>The old Torgue Trials outfit.<small role=\"credit\">Embark<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Embark also took the time to reveal the Season 4 Trials reward, the Recon outfit.
