With update 1.13.0 in ARC Raiders, a new project called “Trophy Showcase” was added, whose completion will reward valuable prizes. To complete it, you need to donate 20 different types of items, and the task itself is divided into 5 stages. In this guide, we’ll explain which resources you need to collect and what rewards you can get for it.
How to Complete Stage 1 “Wandering Enemies”
The first stage focuses on gathering resources from small robots and Observers. Regular robots can be found in buildings and complexes, while the Observer moves across open terrain and occasionally reveals its location by shooting a beam into the sky. The following resources are needed to complete Stage 1:
- Rusted Bolts (3) — can be found by exploring locations with a gear icon;
- Explosive Bot Launcher (15) — drops from exploding robots;
- Spider Shell (15) — can be obtained by defeating spider-like robots in indoor areas;
- Observer Safe (5) — when detonating the Observer, investigate the detached body parts. Usually, there are 2-3 safes in one robot.

As a reward, you will receive 10 modification components, 3 power cells, 10 raider tokens, blueprint ‘Details for Light Weapons’.
How to Complete Stage 2 ‘Floating Threats’
To complete the second stage, you need to kill small flying ARC units. With the latest update, they have become more aggressive and often summon reinforcements. Use weapons with heavy rounds to quickly destroy robots. To complete the stage, collect the following:
- Navigator Transmitter (10) — details of flying ARC units that help ‘Bombardier’ shoot accurately at long distances. After some time, new ones will arrive after killing them, mainly avoid detection by the big robot’s scanners;
- Expired Respirator (3) — can be found while exploring medical sectors;
- Wasp Driver (20) — details from small drones that fire machine gun bursts. It’s enough to shoot off two bolts to make them fall;
- Drone Driver “Wasp” (20) — details from medium drones, whose front rotors have additional protection. To win, shoot precisely at the red scanner or remove the 2 rear rotors.
You will receive 3 units of vitamin serum, 3 photovoltaic cloaks, 20 raider tokens, and the blueprint “Vitamin Serum”.
How to Complete Stage 3 “Ruthless Enemies”
The new stage requires preparation and teamwork. Killing large robots alone will be costly and noisy, attracting other raiders. To complete it, you need to find the following items:
- High-strength ARC Steel (10) — can be found in broken ARC units or killed large robots;
- Gyro of the Grinder (5) — the device is located in the robot found only in the location “Stella Montis”. To kill it, shoot at the lower nozzles with blue flame, and always hide behind objects since it fires shrapnel over a large area;
- Impulse Block “Jump” (10) — a part from a robot resembling a large spider. This is an active mechanism ready to run after you anywhere, so it’s easy to lure it to a building and safely shoot it from the doorway;
- Bastion Cell (5) — a part from a large and loud robot that fires a machine gun volley. Easy to defeat in pairs by shooting at the yellow area on its back. Alternatively, you can shoot its “legs” by targeting the yellow connections.
As a reward, you will receive a legendary melee weapon, a legendary modification, 30 rider tokens, 1 blueprint “Suppressor”.
How to Complete Stage 4 “Dominant Dangers”
On the penultimate stage, you will have to fight a huge robot “Queen”. Completing this part of the project alone is very difficult, so team up with friends or find a partner. To complete it, collect the following parts:
- ARC Synthetic Resin (10) — mainly found in zonds, as well as some large ARC’s and “Snitch”s;
- Magnetic Accelerator (10) — located in red cabinets in rooms with a factory image;
- Driver ‘Rocket’ (8) — a part from a large flying robot that shoots rockets. To survive its attack, use cover and jump away after aiming. Weak points — four engines. To win, it’s enough to break two of them;
- Queen’s Reactor (3) — a part of one of the game’s bosses. It’s not necessary to fully kill the robot, it’s enough to shoot off a piece of the body and take its contents.
As a reward, you will receive the Cat-IV weapon, 5 ‘Wolves’ Pack’ grenades, 40 Raid Tokens, and the ‘Cat’ blueprint.
How to Complete Stage 5 ‘Grandiose Heavyweights’
The final stage, where you need to destroy the remaining ARC units and collect their unique parts. To complete it, you will need:
- Exit Modules (5) — can be rarely found in locations with the icon or bought from Celeste’s trader for seeds;
- Geyger Counter (3) — a rare item, which is most often located in the Cosmopolitan Port in the ‘Rocket Assembly’ zone (Rocket Assembly) or in Montis Stella in the ‘Assembly’ area (Assembly area);
- Cell of the ‘Bomber’ — a part of a large robot that fires grenades in an arc. The easiest way is to hide somewhere in a building and shoot off its legs. Usually, the ‘Bomber’ has 2-3 cells;
- Reactor of the ‘Matriarch’ — a part of another boss in the game. The strategy is the same — safely shoot off a piece of its body, take the contents, and successfully evacuate.
As a reward for the stage, you will receive 2 lockable hooks, a legendary sniper rifle, 50 raider tokens, and a blueprint for the ‘Lockable Hook’.
What you can get for completing the project
Aside from rewards for each collected resource, you will receive a final reward, consisting of:
- Unique emotion ‘Roar’;
- Legendary sniper rifle ‘Jupiter’;
- Legendary item ‘Acoustic Guitar’;
- 5 energy magazines;
- 300,000 coins.
Remember that if you go on an “Expedition,” all found items and blueprints will disappear. The “Trophy Showcase” project has no time limit yet, so perhaps it’s better to finish it after the “Expedition.”
