Arc Raiders Watchlist – Daily & Weekly Objectives
What the Watchlist Covers
The Watchlist on Coe.gg is our hub for Arc Raiders’ rotating challenge content — the things you need to keep an eye on each week to maximise rewards. The two systems that drive this are:
- Trials — the documented competitive weekly challenge system, with 5 challenges per week and point-tiered rewards.
- Daily challenges — quick repeatable tasks that pay out Cred currency, used for battle pass progression.
Trials are the pillar of weekly progression. Daily challenges are the steady drip of Cred between Trial cycles.
Weekly Trials
Trials are weekly objectives that score Raiders based on level of completion. Each week you receive 5 Trials Challenges, drawn from a larger pool of objectives that span combat, scavenging, exploration, and support roles. Challenges and scores live in a dedicated Trials menu in-game.
Trial Point Thresholds
Every challenge has three reward tiers, hit by reaching point thresholds during a single raid (the highest single-raid score per challenge counts):
| Threshold | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1,000 points | Random Uncommon item or blueprint |
| 2,000 points | Random Rare item or blueprint |
| 3,000 points | Random Epic item or blueprint |
Rewards are claimed automatically when you extract from the map. Each tier can be claimed once per challenge per week.
Ranking and Divisions
Raiders are placed in divisions of 100 players on a first-come basis. Rankings update weekly on Mondays based on combined personal-best scores across all 5 challenges. The system has 14 ranks, from Rookie I up to Cantina Legend at the top end. At season’s end, your final placement awards cosmetics and emotes — higher ranks unlock all lower-tier items as well.
Daily Challenges and Cred
Separate from Trials, the game runs daily challenges that pay out in Cred currency. These are short, repeatable objectives that reset on a daily cadence. Cred feeds into battle pass progression and is one of the more consistent ways to earn it without relying on trader quests.
Daily challenges are not part of the Trials competitive system — they don’t contribute to your division ranking. Treat them as background income while you grind your weekly Trials score.
Unlock Requirement
Trials open up once you reach Raider Level 15. Until then, you can stack Cred from daily challenges and trader quests, but the weekly Trials menu won’t be available.
How to Maximise Each Week
- Read your 5 challenges first. The pool spans different play styles — some weeks you’ll get a scavenge-heavy roll, other weeks it’s combat-only. Plan your raids around what’s active.
- Chase the 3,000-point Epic. Each tier is a one-time claim per challenge per week, and the gap between Rare and Epic is the biggest reward jump. If you’re going to push hard on a challenge, push past 2,000.
- Single-raid scores count. Only your best single-raid score per challenge counts toward the rank. A perfect run on one challenge beats 5 mediocre attempts.
- Stack daily Cred between Trial pushes. Knock out daily challenges on raids you’re already running for Trials — they overlap naturally and you double-dip on rewards.
- Watch the Monday reset. Rankings update Monday and challenges roll over — finish whatever you can on Sunday before they expire.
Limited-Time Events
Outside of the standard weekly Trials, Embark periodically runs limited-time events with their own challenge tracks — the Shared Watch and Last Resort events being recent examples. These add temporary objectives on top of the regular Trials and pay out event-exclusive cosmetics, currency conversions (XP-to-Merits at 100:1 in Last Resort), and other bonuses. We track active events in the news hub.
