ARC Raiders Weekly Reset: New Vanguard Colors and Cassio Offers
The November 10 weekly reset brings several changes worth checking before heading Topside. ARC Raiders Items collectors have new opportunities through Cassio’s rotating offers, while the latest Store Update 2.5.0 introduces two additional Vanguard Set color variants. Week 6 Trials also shifts the focus toward ARC damage, melee attacks, and looting destroyed machines, giving players new reasons to adjust their weekly loadouts.
Store Update 2.5.0 Adds Two Vanguard Colors
The latest Store Update 2.5.0 went live on November 10 without requiring a game restart. Its main addition is two new color variants for the Vanguard Set:
- Orange
- Black/White
This is a cosmetic update rather than a gameplay balance patch. It does not introduce a new weapon, map, or combat mechanic, but gives players more customization options for their Raider appearance.
Players interested in the Vanguard Set should check the in-game store to see the available variants and their current purchase requirements.
Cassio’s November 10–16 Offers
Cassio’s latest rotation brings several items that are useful for both cosmetic collectors and players still working on Soul’s Offering.
The featured offers include:
- Gas Mask: A backpack charm for cosmetic customization.
- Angry: A new emote option.
- Dead Flowers: A tribute material that can help with Soul’s Offering.
- Harmonica: A collectible trinket.
The current rotation lists the Gas Mask and Angry at 75K ARC-part trade value, while Dead Flowers and Harmonica have lower listed values. Check Cassio’s trade screen for the exact requirements and available stock before spending valuable materials.
For players who have not finished Soul’s Offering, Dead Flowers are particularly worth checking. Buying the required tribute material can save some searching time, but make sure you still have enough inventory space and extract safely after purchasing or collecting it.
Week 6 Trials: A Different Set of Combat Objectives
The November 10–16 Trials rotation moves away from last week’s Courier, Comet, Turbine, and boss-damage challenges. The new board focuses on five objectives:
| Trial | Main requirement |
|---|---|
| Hullcracker Damage | Damage ARC enemies using the Hullcracker |
| General ARC Damage | Deal damage to ARC enemies |
| Open Containers | Complete container searches |
| Search Destroyed ARC | Search ARC wrecks |
| Melee Damage | Deal melee damage to ARC enemies |
The Hullcracker challenge makes this weapon especially relevant this week. Its explosive rounds are designed to damage ARC rather than Raiders, so players should focus on mechanical enemies instead of bringing it into player fights.
The other objectives can overlap during a normal raid. Defeating ARC, searching the resulting wrecks, and opening containers along the route can advance several counters without requiring separate dedicated runs. Melee damage is also easier to complete against smaller grounded ARC than by forcing a prolonged fight against a large enemy.
Remember that Trials progress is only saved after extraction. Check the active challenge card before entering a raid, and leave once your desired milestones have been secured.
What Players Should Prioritize This Week
The best approach is to separate cosmetic shopping from combat preparation.
First, check Cassio’s stock and purchase only the materials or cosmetics you actually want. If you are still completing Soul’s Offering, prioritise the tribute items required by your current stage. Store them safely rather than carrying them into an unnecessary fight.
Next, prepare a Hullcracker and enough Launcher Ammo for the dedicated damage challenge. Bring a melee option, shield recovery supplies, and sufficient inventory space for loot. A Night Raid can provide more opportunities to encounter ARC, while compact indoor routes may make container searches easier.
Finally, check your Trials counters during the raid. If the Hullcracker damage requirement is complete but your search count remains low, change your route instead of continuing to fight larger enemies.
Players looking to reduce repetitive progression work may also consider ARC Raiders Boosting options, but efficient route planning and successful extraction remain important for making each raid worthwhile.
The November 10 reset is mainly about new cosmetic choices, Cassio’s rotating inventory, and a fresh set of weekly Trials. Store Update 2.5.0 adds two Vanguard colors without changing combat balance, while the new Trials reward players who combine ARC damage, melee attacks, wreck searches, and container openings in the same run.
