Weekly Trials

Snitches are fast, fragile runners that broadcast your position — kill them before the pulse fires, or use area tools to delete the whole group in one go.

How to max

• •Snitches die in one or two shots — be fast; the broadcast pulse fires within 1.5s of them spotting you.
• •Grenades and area-effect tools wipe small Snitch clusters before any single one can emit; look for grouped packs near objectives.
• •Snitches scatter and gain speed when alerted — engage at medium range so you can track their erratic sprint.
• •After a successful alert, Snitches stay active and will call again; clear the area fully, don't just suppress.

Ground-based ARC only — every shot at a Hornet or Wasp is wasted quota. Stay disciplined on surface patrol routes and funnel enemies through your sightlines.

How to max

• •Ignore all aerial ARC — discipline to stay off flyers is the core skill this trial tests.
• •Pull patrol packs toward chokepoints or doorways so multiple ground ARC stack in your line of fire simultaneously.
• •Burst builds outperform sustained DPS here; ground ARC have defined stagger windows that burst fire can chain.
• •One player on flanking duty keeps ground ARC grouped and facing the main firing line — a flanked enemy turns and splits your team's fire.

Bastions soak frontal damage with heavy plating — flank to their exposed rear joints or side-vents for multiplied damage, and never stand in their push lane.

How to max

• •All high-damage zones are rear and lateral — circle-strafe wide rather than standing in their frontal arc.
• •Bastions telegraph a charge with a 1s wind-up; use that window to slide or vault to their blind side.
• •Anti-armor or high-penetration weapons cut through plating far faster than standard rounds — adjust your loadout before the trial.
• •Never stack as a squad in front of a Bastion; one charge hits multiple players and the shockwave interrupts reloads.

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.

Weekly objective: Deal as much damage as possible using a Heavy Fuze Grenade.

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.
