Beaches Trial Riven Tides: Maximize ARC Score Tips

When aiming to maximize your score in the Beaches Trial on Riven Tides, you’ll need a focused plan for damaging ARC enemies within the northern beach zone. This area is marked clearly on your map (often highlighted in red) and is the exclusive location where this weekly trial can be attempted. Night Raids make things easier by increasing ARC spawns and density, but you can pursue high scores during any raid condition.

Your objective is simple: deal as much damage as possible to ARC enemies—both ground types like Comets and Bastions, and flyers such as Wasps and Surveyors—while they are physically inside the beach boundaries. You aren’t limited to enemies that spawn within the area; instead, actively pull ARC from outside into the scoring zone using aggro tactics and, most importantly, Snitch Scanners. Every ARC damaged inside the boundary adds to your total: about 100 points per small ARC (Wasp, Pop), around 200 per Turret or Surveyor, and a hefty 1100 for large foes like Rocketeers or Vaporizers. Two big targets plus a few smaller ARC will typically secure the 3-star mark (3000 points), but with good strategy, you can push for much higher leaderboard placements.

Snitch Scanners are essential for drawing ARC into your kill zone. Farm these by eliminating Snitch enemies across any map—each scanner stacks up to three per inventory slot, so plan for multiple runs to collect up to nine or more before your trial attempt. Drop several scanners across the beaches to generate target-rich opportunities and sustain a steady flow of ARC into your zone.

Whether playing solo or as part of a team, both approaches are viable for reaching the 3-star threshold. However, a coordinated party offers more Snitch Scanners and better spatial coverage, making it easier to avoid overlapping ARC pulls and to manage risk when pushing for top
