The Week 13 Trials come with more difficulty than the previous weeks. Five distinct activities have to be done, and every activity should be done several times to get the maximum of three stars. This implies that you are not merely finishing goals once—you are redoing them very well and securely so as not to lose any of the process.
If you wish to get the top prizes, it is advisable to space out these activities over several runs rather than cramming all of them into a single match.
All Week 13 Trial Tasks
| Task | Completion Requirements |
| Damage Queens or Matriarchs | Deal damage during special enemy events |
| Search First Wave Husks | Find and interact with destroyed war machines |
| Damage Flying ARC Enemies | Deal damage to airborne ARC units |
| Deal Damage to Shredders | Damage Shredders without needing to destroy them |
| Open ARC Probes | Locate and open ARC Probes for progress |
Damage Queens or Matriarchs
This concludes the most difficult challenge of Week 13.
The Matriarch and the Queen are the most formidable foes in the game. The Matriarch shows up during her event, and the Queen gets to spawn during the Harvester event. Both of them cause a huge amount of damage and can make it impossible for unaccompanied players to survive.
The most reliable way to get your share of the progress here is to play in a group. One person can take the monster’s attention while the others are doing damage. You are not obligated to eliminate the enemy, only to cause sufficient damage for it to be counted towards the objective.
If you try to do this task by yourself, you will have to cope with a much larger death risk before the progress is counted.
Look for First Wave Husks
First Wave Husks are the skeletons of gigantic robots that were destroyed in battle. All the maps have husks, so this task can be done on any map.
When looking for them, take care. Some husk spots are under the protection of ARC enemies. First, you can make a safe area by clearing it out so it won’t be that difficult to do the task. And while looking for it, you can also find good loot which makes this objective great to combine with resource runs.
If you are vigilant and do not hurry, this task is low risk.
Damage Flying ARC Enemies
This task is the least complex of the week.
Flying ARC enemies who are the weakest and can be naturally defeated during regular exploration and fighting all count as progress. Just, however, it would be best if you did not go near Rocketeers unless you are really good, as they can easily overpower you and kill you very quickly.
The more powerful flying foes give more XP, but the basic flying ARC can be considered the safest and still effective over time for three stars earning.
Inflict Damage on Shredders
Shredders are usually located in Stella Montis, mostly in dark corridors and behind locked doors.
Your objective is not to wipe out a Shredder but to inflict damage, then pull back. Shredders have a circular attack range and a short charge-up animation before they hit. When they start charging, this is your signal to retreat.
In case you are in a party, one of the players can be the one who lures the enemy, while the others inflict safe damage. This trick will save lives and accelerate progress.
Open ARC Probes
ARC Probes are large, stationary machines that spawn in random locations.
They do not attack you, but opening them creates loud noise. This noise can attract ARC enemies, so you should clear the area before interacting. Opening probes is worth the risk, as they often provide useful resources while also progressing the trial.
Move quickly after opening a probe to avoid being surrounded.
How to Earn Three Stars Efficiently
To get three stars, you should spread tasks across multiple matches instead of forcing everything at once. Focus on one or two objectives per run, especially the dangerous ones like Queens, Matriarchs, and Shredders.
Playing in a squad dramatically increases your success rate, especially for high-risk objectives. Patience matters more than speed in Week 13.
If you approach these trials calmly and methodically, three stars are very achievable—even with the increased difficulty.
