How to Disarm Mines During Locked Gate

To disarm mines during the Locked Gate event:

1. Listen out for a slight beeping sound each one makes
2. As you get closer, the sound gets louder
3. Carefully step onto the mine
4. It’ll click and show a “Disarm” interact prompt
5. Interact with the mine, and you’ll disarm it!
6. Each mine nets you 300 score.

In this guide, we’ll go over the best ways to approach and disarm mines during Locked Gate to maximize your score and etch your place in the Speranza hotshots.

Preparing for the ARC Raiders Locked Gate Mines Trial

This trial can be done in all party sizes to an effective level. Whether that’s gaining your 3-star rating (which requires a 4000 score) or pushing to maximize your points for promotion.

Scoring

The scoring for this Trial comes from disarming mines during Locked Gate on Blue Gate. Each mine during the event gives you 300 points.

What you’ll need

For this Trial, the objective requires nothing but your own interact keybind. You’ll simply have to look for mines around key areas and interact with them. However, you’ll need a basic gun to help deal with ARC and a lot of mobility utility. We recommend bringing:

• Anvil IV is okay – bring Heavy Ammo if you use this. Can help to deal with smaller ARC
• Any Augment
• Light Shield
• 5-10 Shield Rechargers
• 10 Bandages and/or Herbal Bandages
• 10-20 Adrenaline Shot
• Photoelectric Cloak or Smoke Grenades to avoid the large amount of Rocketeers etc in the area

Can I use a Free Loadout to disarm mines during Locked Gate weekly Trials?

You definitely can use a Free Loadout to disarm mines during Locked Gate. The only downside is going to be the lack of Adrenaline Shots to move between POIs. However, this is a risk-free option to at least get your 3-star rewards.

Should I use aggression-based matchmaking for friendly lobbies?

Yes, we also highly recommend utilizing this method for friendly lobbies as it yields consistently safe results.

ARC Raiders Locked Gate Mine Locations

The 4 main Locked Gate mine locations also hold the Locked Gate event keycards. These are:

• Pilgrim’s Peak
• Raider’s Refuge
• Ancient Fort
• Reinforced Reception

While there is no set route to “follow” in this Trial, we do have some recommendations on logical movements and priorities.

Solo Lobby

As a solo, depending on spawn, you’ll want to start at Ancient Fort, ideally, Pilgrim’s Peak or Reinforced Reception. This is because these three locations have the most mines. In this example, we’ll start at Reinforced Reception.

1. Starting at Reinforced Reception, you’ll want to utilize the map to check for as many mines to disarm as possible.
2. As soon as you think you’ve had enough, rotate to Pilgrim’s Peak.
3. After Pilgrim’s, head straight to Ancient Fort, making use of Adrenaline Shots to out-race anyone else doing the Trial.
4. Finally, head to Raider’s Refuge (that we leave until last due to fewer mines on average) to pick up any additional score.
5. You can simply extract after!

You can expect around 5000-15,000~ score solo unless you get an insanely empty run in terms of other Raiders attempting the trial.

It is important to note that some of these areas will be very ARC-dense. As a result, keep your smokes and/or Photoelectric Cloak at the ready to avoid pulling aggro at the worst times. Pilgrim’s Peak is probably the most dangerous location with the most flying ARC, such as Rocketeers.

Duos/Trio Party

In a team environment, your best bet is to split each player off into one of the three highest-density mine locations. For example:

• Player 1: Pilgrim’s Peak
• Player 2: Ancient Fort
• Player 3: Reinforced Reception

Whoever finishes first out of Player 2 and Player 3 can immediately rotate to Raider’s Refuge.

However, if your team does spawn close to Raider’s Refuge and you make that run your attempt, do not ignore the location, as you may be too late when reaching the other locations. We personally recommend trying to get a raid where you spawn next to one of the three major locations. You can easily obtain a 20,000+ score this way.

Fast 3-Star Rewards and Alternative Options for the ARC Raiders Disarm Mine Trial

To gain a 4000 score for the 3-Star Rewards:

1. Spawn in as a Free Loadout
2. Keep resetting until you spawn at either Ancient Fort, Pilgrim’s Peak or Reinforced Reception.
3. As soon as you spawn at one of these locations, begin your race to disarm as many mines as you can!
4. To reach a 4000 score, you’ll need 14 mines, giving you a total of 4200.
5. Once you’ve disarmed 14 mines in one or two of the most dense locations, immediately extract for your rewards!
