Events and Feats
Feats are ARC Raiders' daily tasks: Easy, Medium and Hard pay 15, 25 and 50 Reward Points, and three weekly Milestones pay 250 each. Timed events such as Flickering Flames, Last Resort and Phantom Targets pay rewards for Merits, and Trials Season 6 runs Oct 8, 2026 to Jan 12, 2027, with the Maestro Outfit as its grand prize.
Feats are ARC Raiders' short tasks that feed the Reward Pass: since update 2.0, Oct 8, 2026, an Easy Feat pays 15 Reward Points, a Medium 25 and a Hard 50, and three weekly Milestones pay 250 each. Beside them run timed events, which reward Merits, and player projects. The current long contest is Trials Season 6, Oct 8, 2026 to Jan 12, 2027, with the Maestro Outfit as its grand prize. The newest project is Soul's Offering, added in update 2.3.0 on Oct 27, 2026.

Feats
Embark's 2.0 notes split Feats into three levels:
| Feat | Reward Points | Weekly progress |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | 15 | +1 |
| Medium | 25 | +2 |
| Hard | 50 | +3 |
Source: Embark's 2.0 notes, Oct 8, 2026.
Weekly progress of 4, 8 and 12 each opens a Milestone of 250 Reward Points, so a week's Milestones are worth 750 (our sum). You can keep doing Feats after the third, but no major rewards come until the weekly reset. Reward Points replaced Cred, retired on Oct 8, 2026, and go into your active pass: the Frozen Trail Pass has 60 levels.
Changes over time: PvP Feats were removed and three free rerolls a day added in update 1.17.0. Update 2.2.0 added, removed and rebalanced Feats for smoother pass progress. Update 2.3.0 renamed Daily Feats to Feats and Weekly Bonus to Milestones. No reliable source lists every current Feat as of Oct 31, 2026.
Events by date
An event in ARC Raiders usually gives you Merits, earned by play, that climb a personal reward track. A project asks you to hand in items by stage, as with the Expedition. All events below have ended except where marked.
| Event or project | Dates | How it worked | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Community unlock event | 1.2.0, Nov 13, 2025 | Part of North Line, see North Line | |

Sources: linked in each row. Trophy Display's stage rewards are Light Gun Parts, Vita Shot, Shotgun Silencer, Bobcat and Snap Hook, per PCGamesN, May 7, 2026.
The Shared Watch is, in Embark's words, an annual holiday, so it may return, but no 2027 date is announced. Flickering Flames came with the Cold Snap map condition, and Candleberries stopped being tied to any event after Cold Snap returned in 1.15.0.
Soul's Offering
In the story, citizens build shrines to Raiders who died, and Celeste asks you for items: a lantern-inspired offering for Ferrovia, one for Murteta to ease tensions, and one for Vaulto to open talks with that secretive neighborhood. Embark's 2.3.0 notes call it a new player project, and its Oct 29, 2026 post gives no dates or rewards. The Contradas are on Story and Setting.
Trials
Trials are weekly score challenges with a seasonal leaderboard. Per Shacknews, Nov 13, 2025, they unlock at level 15 under the Raider tab, with five challenges a week and three stars each, whose rewards need 1,000, 2,500 and 4,000 points. Only your best single run per challenge counts, per PC Gamer. Embark rotates them weekly. Expeditions do not reset Trials.
A season has 14 ranks from Rookie through Tryhard, Wildcard, Daredevil and Hotshot to Cantina Legend, and each rank includes the rewards below it. Your weekly placement moves you: the 2x zone moves you two ranks, and since 1.7.0 the top 5 get a 3x zone up to Daredevil I. The final rank is worldwide. Season 4 ended double points on major conditions and condition-locked Trials, as of Apr 2026.
Seasons
| Season | Dates | Grand prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Launch to about Dec 17, 2025 | |
| 2, 3 | To Apr 28, 2026 | |
| 4 | Apr 28 to Jul 7, 2026 | Blindspot |
| 5 | Jul 7 to Sep 22, 2026 | Scorta |
| 6 | Oct 8, 2026 to Jan 12, 2027 | Maestro |
Sources: linked in each row. A blank cell means no reliable source read for this page says. Trials paused from Sep 22 to Oct 8, 2026 around the fifth Expedition. Season 5 ended on Queens and Matriarchs as the last week's targets.
Season 6: Frozen Trials
Embark's Oct 12, 2026 post is the source for all of this. The leaderboard's leaders earn the Maestro Outfit, with gilded trim, and its toggles; reaching Hotshot and Cantina Legend unlocks its Yellow and Red colors. Final placement also pays a Sheriff Badge backpack charm, an Infrared Transmitter backpack attachment, the Pumped Dance emote and the Pop Helmet for Scrappy. New challenges include damage with the Skulker Targeter and Bully Fragmenter (see Bully, Skulker and Hydra), scavenging in Pendola Pass hotspots, and using ARC as target practice with the new arsenal; weekly objectives also pay Blueprints and gear. Embark does not publish the rank thresholds below Hotshot or the scoring formulas.
