Red Lakes Trial: Dam Battlegrounds Score Guide

The Red Lakes Trial on Dam Battlegrounds challenges you to rack up damage points against ARC enemies within a specific scoring zone. The Red Lakes sit on the east side of the map and are visually distinct — a large, open area where any ARC (ground or flying) you damage while inside the boundary contributes to your score. You can even pull ARC from outside the zone into the scoring area for extra points.

Scoring and Key Targets

Each ARC type awards a set amount of score: roughly 150 points for small ARC (like Wasps or Pops) and about 1,700 for large ARC (such as Leapers and Rocketeers). Destroying one or two large ARC and a handful of smaller enemies is enough to reach the 3,000-point threshold needed for a 3-star rating. With the right setup, you can push well beyond that — solo scores of 3,000–10,000+ are achievable, and party play can go even higher.

Essential Loadout

Your loadout should focus on efficient ARC clearing. Bring a primary like the Anvil IV with Heavy Ammo for trash mobs, and two hard-hitting weapons (e.g., Jupiter or Hullcracker) for large ARC. The Survivor MK.3 rig offers plenty of inventory space and safe pockets. Equip a Light or Medium Shield, Wolfpacks, and Ziplines for mobility. On the consumable side, pack at least ten Shield Rechargers, bandages or herbal bandages, ten Adrenaline Shots, and smoke grenades to manage aggro or PvP threats. The single most important item is the Snitch Scanner — you can farm these by shooting down Snitch enemies on any map; each scanner stacks three per inventory slot, so bring as many as you can carry. Deploy them inside the Red Lakes while you damage other ARC to multiply your score.
